PMOG Link Monday vol. 15
Posted by Chris on Monday, October 6, 2008

Jumping right into the PMOG missions I took this week, here’s the goods–


Religulous vs. Expelled

The friendly atheist blog has an article from the Orlando Sentinel comparing Ben Stein’s Expelled to Bill Maher’s Religulous.  A while back I shared my opinion on the Ben Stein film produced to discredit the idea of evolution.   I have yet to see Expelled or Religulous, but I hope to see both.  The article comparing  the films was very interesting and I found it thanks to a mission by deixado leading me to the friendlyatheist.com


OVGuide

Thanks to PMOG user clicktok, I’ve got a new place to search for TV shows & movies online.  OVGuide is a site that allows users to search for video content from over 1600 sites.  I am looking forward to catching up with some bad TV there.


Totem Destroyer

totem, yo!I could have posted this volume of PMOG Link Monday much sooner, but I spent an hour playing Totem Destroyer.  If you lose track of what day it is because you are having so much fun, blame gbelste not me.  I am warning you that it is addictingly fun.





A Fair(y) Use Tale

Finally, I took a mission on copyright law to see what sort of resources were presented by the PMOG user.  It was mostly sites that I already seen, but another user, allyson posted this video link in the comments:

I thought they used a great concept  to discuss copyright.

Check this wonderful link out, my media flavored friends.  This MIT research project is trying to learn how youtube spots copyright violations and perhaps, more importantly illustrate the mistakes the system makes.  Parody, criticism and education can be viable fair use and not a violation.  Of course, you can’t watch any of the videos on the site, but it is nice to see someone fighting the man.
