Alexander Pistols – From Russia to Ukraine

Sometimes the internet takes you to places you weren’t expecting to go, or even wanted to end up at. Well, today I went down the rabbit hole and found this. I took the description from the video and translated it to English and this is what I got back:

Alexander Pistol with two blondes on an inflatable dolphin sing the song “From Russia to Ukraine ” at the screen with the sea and dolphins.

Yep. That pretty much sums it it. Enjoy!

PUTIN IS NUMBER ONE GREATEST PRESIDENT SONG

Here’s the lyrics so you can sing along:

One man has the strength of one hundred bear
His sweat is a Pilsner beer
When you cut him, out fly a swarm of bees
President Vladamir

He hate gay, like he is secretly gay
He don’t give shits of Ukraine
He throw you in jail if girl sing in a mask
And he definitely is not gay

Putin take off shirt to show octo-pec chest
Lay women like he lay oil pipe
He take shits and then pull up his pants
Because Putin have no care for wipe

Ride a horse
Balance pen
Look bored
Eat a bird
Jump in ocean
And then make baby cry
Touch fire
Go to doctor
Doctor say
Don’t touch fire
But you Putin
So now doctor go to jail

Set back clock on human rights
Take Crimea and no say thank
You had olOlympicsn half-finish hotel
Surprise, you been Vladapranked

Putin bench press a man doing curls
Edward Snowden: no fucks can give
Fall asleep during UN debate
Because
For 200 year, Putin live

Speak to dog, with his mind
Go to sleep on his foe
President
VLADAMIR

The Anti-Information Age

The Anti-Information Age

The internet is a constantly evolving experience, and quite often when you are in the middle of a movement you really aren’t able to keep up with how things are changing so quickly. Such is the case with our digital age. This article from The Atlantic does a great job explaining the world we live in today, and what is in store for our future on the internet. – JLW

The Anti-Information Age

Two beliefs safely inhabit the canon of contemporary thinking about journalism. The first is that the Internet is the most powerful force disrupting the news media. The second is that the Internet and the communication and information tools it has spawned—like YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook—are shifting power from governments to civil society and to individual bloggers, netizens, or citizen journalists.

It is hard to disagree with these two beliefs. Yet they obscure evidence that governments are having as much success as the Internet in disrupting independent media and determining what information reaches society. Moreover, in many poor countries or in those with autocratic regimes, government actions are more important than the Internet in defining how information is produced and consumed, and by whom.

Illustrating these points is a curious paradox: Censorship is flourishing in the information age. In theory, new technologies make it more difficult, and ultimately impossible, for governments to control the flow of information. Some have argued that the birth of the Internet foreshadowed the death of censorship. In 1993, John Gilmore, an Internet pioneer, told Time, “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.”
