The Exploding Whale or When "Art" Rips Off Real Life

| 1 Comment

At some point early Sunday morning, I woke up and read for while. Still wasn't sleepy so I put on the TV. It came on a station showing a movie version of the Reno 911 cops. I've not seen the movie and for some reason they were in Florida and two of them were on a beach by a gigantic beached whale. After calling in their colleagues and being unable to budge the whale, they blew it up. So what you ask? They clearly ripped off the most famous video downloaded of the pre-highspeed internet days, The Exploding Whale. I remember downloading this video, probably at 9600 bps. Check it out.
