Internet scientist Elspethjane investigates the tale of Antoine Dodson, a college student from Huntsville, Alabama who became an overnight celebrity after giving a passionate TV interview in defense of his sister after she was assaulted in her bedroom.

I really enjoyed working on this script for my first Know Your Meme episode. Mike’s “Bed Intruder” cover was a lot of fun to shoot even though I had to hide underneath a table with the boom mic. 

To learn more head over to KYMdb - Antoine Dodson / Bed Intruder.
Production credits can be found here.

Update: East Village vs. Zynga Campaign, ‘Clean Up!’

eastvillagefeed:

Still awaiting response from gaming company, Zynga, regarding clean up efforts on their street marketing campaign.

I’ll be reaching out to more representatives at Zynga today.

NYCTheBlog has helped me take the effort to the city, reaching out to the NYC’s Sanitation department.

Meanwhile - I just wanted to thank you EVERYONE so far helping get the word out: BoweryBoogie, NYCTheBlog, NYPress, EVGrieve, CitizenNYC, and others!

Thank you!

‘Mafia Wars’ Dollar Stuck to Capital One Bank, near 10th & 2nd Ave.

Is this what Fred Wilson had in mind with his large financial investment in Zynga?
“Hey, I’ve got a great idea. Let’s advertise our product by littering all over the public’s property in Manhattan. But, there’s a catch…the litter will have our name on it! Better yet, glue that shit down, so it can not be removed. Permanent litter with our name on it=permanent advertising!”
Here’s what I think of that idea. I’d like it if you cleaned it up. And I’m not the only one. Fellow residents of New York City are not pleased.
Please help keep your city clean. Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute. 
This really should get cleaned up soon. God knows they can afford it. Which makes it all the more galling they resorted to shitting all over public property. As a fellow activist likes to say, this won’t end.

A Milky Way Shadow at Loch Ard Gorge Credit & Copyright: Alex Cherney (Terrastro)
Explanation: Have you ever seen the Milky Way’s glow create shadows? To do so, conditions need to be just right. First and foremost, the sky must be relatively clear of clouds so that the long band of the Milky Way’s central disk can be seen. The surroundings must be very near to completely dark, with no bright artificial lights visible anywhere. Next, the Moon cannot be anywhere above the horizon, or its glow will dominate the landscape. Last, the shadows can best be caught on long camera exposures. In the above image taken in Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia, seven 15-second images of the ground and de-rotated sky were digitally added to bring up the needed light and detail. In the foreground lies Loch Ard Gorge, named after a ship that tragically ran aground in 1878. The two rocks pictured are the remnants of a collapsed arch and are named Tom and Eva after the only two people who survived that Loch Ard ship wreck. A close inspection of the water just before the rocks will show shadows in light thrown by our Milky Way galaxy. Low clouds are visible moving through the serene scene in this movie.
