Even if I'm misreading the intention of this pithy genius, my sentiment is straight forward and sincere. 'Corporation' is the enemy and life and art outside of those bounds needs to be nurtured while it still exists. They are pattending genes for fucks sake! Within this century, realities will exist beyond any Orwellian nightmare. Besides, everyone knows 'Jack Black' is actually a robot.

BTW, I do think his presentation is funny and meaningful. But the message is archaic. The genie is out of the bottle. Time for the dinosaurs to reinvent the wheel if they want to stay so rich.

You obviously had a hard time cashing that King Kong check, looks like you've barely been eating. And actually Miles' 'Big Fun' would be an amazing soundtrack to fight the Spanish Armada too. Nobody wants the artists to suffer, but the fatcat Industry dick some of you are suckin' needs to be shaken up. Creating quality work is it's own reward, and those who do so will be taken care of.
