The “principal” behind the webcam-spying-on-students fiasco

March 1, 2010Hilarity, News, Technologyhigh school, Lower Merion School District, privacy, students, webcamScott Meisner

You’ve probably heard this story in the news: Lower Merion School District in Philadelphia gave out laptops to their high school students and used the built-in camera to spy on them. The administrators had the ability to remotely turn on the webcams so the students could be watched outside school grounds. After being caught red-handed, the school claimed this was a security measure meant to find stolen laptops. Having been sued by one student and entering a legal investigation concerning privacy issues, the school has since shut down the webcam “security” feature.

This here video is a “hypothetical look inside the webcam-spying principal’s office,” brought to you by Giz’s Adam Frucci and DC Pierson of Derrick Comedy fame.

L.A.R.P. stands for Live Avatar Role Playing; are these people for real?

February 22, 2010Hilarity, Videoavatar, parody, role-playingScott Meisner

This bizzare video features Hometree, Wisconsin natives dressed up as the blue alien humanoids from Avatar. What started out as a viral video claiming to be the real deal has finally been labeled a parody by a majority of viewers. Fun to watch nonetheless. Fake or real, this “community of Avatars” totally reminds me of Augie’s medieval live action role playing game “LAIRE” from Role Models.
