    I'm pretty sure that censor blur is really, really old, dating back to when Google Maps first started showing aerial photos; lots of sites in New York state that had anything at all to do with public works were blurred, and I'm not sure if it was Albany, NYC, or Washington that requested it. Obviously, things have changed since then and the censorship isn't really needed anymore, especially on what looks like a small power plant that just serves Cornell.

    I figured it was something like that, but it struck me as odd because it seems like most areas have long since gotten new imagery with most of the more pointless censorship removed. It seems like nowadays they try not to censor anything unless it's actually a security risk, such as a nuclear power plant or an air force base.

    One amusing thing about the Cornell censorship is the blurring of what's obviously a parking lot. You know, can't have people knowing where we parked the Prius today!

    But people who have watched "Smug Alert" too many times might smash the Prius

    I don't know why I think "Prius" makes a good punchline. Hell, I would probably drive one myself if I could afford one.
  • If I had to buy a fancy car I'd probably get either a Lexus, a Lamborghini, or a Cadillac.

    Why? Because those are the cars RiFF RaFF, Yelawolf, and Bun B drive, respectively.

    Don't judge me.

    "Smug Alert"'s kind of outdated now, too. When it was released, the second-generation Prius was only a few years old (it came out in 2003), and it was still something of a science experiment and a toy for the rich. The third generation has been out since 2009, and it's a much better car all around (cheaper, better performance, less bizarre styling, etc).

    Yes I know I already posted this picture but that's because this is the coolest sign ever

    ^ Yes you can! ^_^

    Great. Now I want a Lyle Terry Blvd sign. :P
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Lyle Terry owns Viacom, or may soon enough

    He should buy Viacom, maybe give Nickelodeon to me

    And TV Land

    Does he want Paramount
  • I think I'll keep Paramount for Stuck and Sparks adaptations, but after that you can have it

    Ain't no way I'm giving up MTV though
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Okay then, you can keep the rights to those adaptations though

    I don't want MTV anyway, but soon I will own the rights to Teen Wolf
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    CA: You know what, I just remembered something. Google Maps doesn't always show the latest aerial photos available for certain places, I guess because newer ones aren't as clear in some cases. I'll check in Google Earth and see how old that artwork is.
  • I wonder what the reaction would be like if I tried to actually reintroduce a portion of music themed programming on MTV.

    I'd move the music stuff to MTV2 if it backfired though, since that was supposed to be their music TV station but it lost that mission.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Okay, that explains it. It's a New York GIS image from 2007. They're still using it because all the other images they have of the area are from the USDA Farm Service Agency, and those tend to be blurry in general.

    I think they tried to make it like MTV's edgy cousin once but they've stopped with that

    @Last Page

    Technically wine is sort of rotten grapes.

    But I still like the taste. Definitely something that takes getting used to. 

    As far as I know, Four Loko is just malted crap added to energy drink. There's not really a reason to drink it unless you want to have energy for drunken escapades...

    Not that I'm passing judgement, mind you, it's just not exactly something you can drink and be considered classy at the same time...

    I do, but I wasn't intentionally making commentary on Bond.

    I just kinda realized I would be if I went that route and didn't care to change course.

    I wish there were more PPG pictures/video that had the CN bug on the bottom, not the top

    TOO LATE! I hope Pierce Brosnan gets hit by a bus for how horrible a Bond he was! 


    Actually, I haven't watched enough of the Bonds to really comment...

    I do think Pierce Brosnan was way better in The Matador than any of the Bond films, though.

    Making it a home for underground stuff might be pretty cool. Not just music, either; making it a haven for animated and live-action programs that might not make it to TV otherwise would be the plan. Hell, maybe we could use some of that Current TV replacement idea for it as well, give some talented YouTubers a place on TV for their covers or something.

    Basically, take everything MTV used to be, and modernize it for now.

    A name change might be in order too, because the new MTV2 would probably be far enough from its mothership to warrant one. It's too bad "The Verge" is taken.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I was, ironically, wanting to use ABC News Now as a conduit for some of Current TV's ideas

    Basically, it's kind of like that and Current's predecessor, Newsworld International
  • Current was awesome before it became "non-vegans are evil: the channel"
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I was pissed off when Current was announced

    Newsworld International was going away but maybe you can stream international newscasts online anyway

    Who knows, maybe it would go away anyway, the CBC might not want to run it these days
  • Bluh. I wish I could come up with a name. Channel 13 is too generic.

    Hmm. Maybe Tunnel might work.

    I always liked Brosnan as Bond. Then again, the last time I saw his Bond movies, I was somewhere between 12-14 years old.

    What would you do with the other Viacom properties
  • Hmm. Random Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appearances at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, maybe? :p

    (I couldn't do that anyway, TMNT is part of Nick)
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    So? You can do whatever the fuck you want

    You could have Snooki host the Daily Show in Jon Stewart's stead okay no don't do that

    And besides, wouldn't it be fun if Daniel Craig sat in the booth of Monday Night Football for a game because geddit MGM and ESPN would be corporate cousins

    How it works:

    Tre owns MTV and Comedy Central

    Tre decides to fuck with people
  • Hehehe.

    I'd definitely sell BET though. I want to have nothing to do with that filth, Radio One can have it.

    Gosh, my Viacom is kinda tiny without Paramount and Nick. Maybe I could buy some Warner Bros things. Like Turner! I want Turner. All of it.

  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Hey, so do I, but I don't know if they'd sell it to you :(

    Do fix Boomerang, though

    So your Viacom wouldn't have Nick? I thought you'd say no to selling it to me
  • what's wrong with BET?

    *has never watched BET except for their yearly rap ciphers*

    Back in the Marines, I found some posterboard in our stock of that fluorescent yellow-green and showed it to my buddy there. We remarked about how bothersome it was just to look at it -- not quite as bad as staring at the sun, but up there.

    Yeah, that color is actually closer to a lime's pericarp than it is to the rind.

    For some reason I always picture Time Warner as having Turner chained down with a bunch of padlocks so nobody can take it

    But what about HBO? Is it just sitting there, free for the taking? You'd think they'd lock that one down nice and tight...Warner Bros., too...
  • Promotion of the stereotypical black culture is what's wrong with BET. Watch some of their reality programming, you'll see.

    And Boomerang, I guess I'd split it in two. One channel for classics from the 60's to Cartoon Network's founding, and another channel for the old CN things.

    I guess that explains Chuck D's many issues with it.

    I'd make out with HBO like a bandit if I could.

    Place is a gold mine, more or less.
