Man, being reasonable

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication: Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk The hopes of all men, and of every nation; Without their sap, how branchless were the trunk Of life's strange tree, so fruitful on occasion! oly

Every time I'm forced to view a television advertisement, I marvel at the sheer psychic violence that some people willingly subject themselves to. Watching the sublime act of creation being used to sell someone car insurance never stops being vulgar in ways I lack the vocabulary to describe.

Oh boy.

Do I have a story for you…

So this is the iconic and beloved clock of Moszkva square in Budapest, Hungary. Or more precisely it was.

It was a very popular meeting point for generations.

„2pm on Moszkva, under the clock?” „sure” It was in the middle of the square, so you could see each other pretty easily from anywhere.

When they „renovated” (rebuilt) and renamed the square that is now called Széll Kálmán tér (only by youngsters and tourists who don’t know any better - it will remain for a lot of us „the Moszkva”) the old clock was removed.

So. Removing the clock was very controversial, but it had to go, because someone dreamed about a new shiny one. Here it is. New, and weird and DIGITAL.

The problem is, it stopped working. For days. (you see, fixing it was time-consuming…) And they came and fix it. But it broke down in a couple of days again and again, so the lovely people around helped to fix it. Some of the best solutions:

Graffity: ?Is this a clock? No" and Where is the old clock? Furthermore, on the clock it states that it shows the right time.

An artistic rendition:

But my favorite one is where people got enough of the breaking down abomination, and the heartless people taking down the actually working clocks (it is a very busy square with a lot of public transport connections), and things escalated quickly:

I think this is the most of them we had taped on at once.

The papers state: In memoriam of the unknown time. Rest in Peace

So… I guess, Hungarians do.

Now that you have been reminded of it, check out oldgamesdownload.com or even archive.org, both of which have heaps of old games, to see if you can get it there instead. Some are executable files and but others are in ISO format, so you can add a virtual CD drive to your computer and play them just as you would off of a disk.

I don't want to detract anything from Mike Gravel's powerful legacy of service to humanity and his valiant attempts to bring some sense of conscience to this hell country, but I think we all need to remember just how fucking nuts the "Rock" ad was, and also I think there are probably a lot of people on this site who are too young to remember "Rock" and anyway we all need to re-watch this right now because it is one of the wildest political ads in history:

RIP to a legend

We truly weren’t ready as a society for all of the avant garde political ads that Gravel could have given us
