High-def TV is disgusting

My Dad brought home a new high-def TV to review, and it is sweet! (It sucks that we don’t get to keep this stuff.) But my brother Marcus, the little dummy, popped in a high-def version of a DVD called Don’t Try This at Home - The Steve-O Video that he borrowed from a friend. Apparently it’s stunts by Jackass Steve-O that were too crude and gross to make it on the old MTV show cuz that show had “censors”. Unfortunately I was in the room when he started watching it.
That DVD is soooooooo gross. Imagine junior high boy humor (y’know, most of it focusing on bodily functions like farting, peeing and sex, not to mention plain old stupid stunts guaranteed to inflict bodily injury) put to real life by guys in their 20s. Yeah. It’s actually worse than that. If you can believe it.
Now imagine watching that on a high-def TV!! It’s like way more information than I need to know. It’s like actually being there when you really don’t want to be there! 
… After seeing that DVD, I feel sorry for Steve-O’s girlfriend. I couldn’t even look him in the face. Ewwwwww!
Don’t you agree that some things don’t belong on HDTV? I think I’ll now reserve it for watching comedies, romances and animated movies!
Hey, I found this cool HDTV commercial. It kinda makes my point.

Google is getting to be spooky

My little brother is getting to be quite the paranoid hacker. Marcus figured Google was up to something fishy with its Google Maps Street View feature. Y’know what that is right? Google sent out a bunch of undercover spooks in vans with cameras and photographed all the streets in some cities (like San Francisco). The photos are part of the maps, so you find a spot on the map and then click to see photos of the street. Here’s the Ludlow house.
He is soooo paranoid!!! How can Google’s engineers figure out how to get more detail than what the normal Google Maps user sees? Us normals can only zoom down so far, but Marcus says that if you have Spy Spook privileges you can go down to room level. Watch this video that a couple guys did to see what I mean:
Back to Marcus. He somehow got access to the source code, something about using a wider range of NSA firewall configs. He admitted he was using Google Maps Streetview to look in on Paris Hilton’s Manhattan penthouse. (I’m surprised. He still claims girls are gross, but I know better!) He got caught and so now he’s in trouble with Mom and Dad, Google AND the NSA!
This has got me all paranoid now. Who’s spying on me with the top-secret version of Google Maps?! I’m keeping my window shades closed from now on. I need to keep more clothes on!!
