ANONYMITY IS HARD TO COME BYWell, hopefully you didn't actually believe that your video would allow you to remain anonymous. It took me about three minutes to adjust this to where I can clearly see a face.
Anonymity is much harder to come by than most people think. Americans have their little tricks --- like burying their money in a fruit jar out in the yard vice handing it over to a bank.
But ultimately, we are ingrained in a system that has a pretty strong hold on us. Getting out or around that system is a hard thing to do.
P.S. No hard feelings, I only did this to prove a point. Hopefully you didn't have a legitimate need for anonymity here...of course if you did you wouldn't have posted a video to Current, now would you? -
well done madsquid! nah, wasn't really trying to hide my ugly mug. but i'm impressed with your image-sharpening kungfu nontheless.

I have also taken annonymity into my own hands, as I see you have... I'm pretty sure someone could find out everything about me if they tried hard enough though...
Our freedom to privacy is a joke. Most people have allowed binding contracts enter their lives without even giving a second glance.
Whats even sadder is how they honestly don't know or care what they could be agreeing too.
But hey, I like your face squiggly thing! Its cool. -
Privacy through distraction and chaotic multiplied iterations of the self...so many we don't know which is real.
I like it. It is kinda like my pet idea:
The obliteration of privacy. We are all public personas, we are all celebrity, 15 minutes X a lifetime, to be a fully-alive and contemporary we must create hundreds of digitized and fractured facets of all of our selves online.
Or.
Negate the whole system and delete your myspace page.
Look to my performance of that negation soon...
Anyways, Michael, your so fucking hot (even with the fuzz face)--and it contradicts your statement--show yourself, darling!
