Thanks for your interest in Google Video.

Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn’t available in your country.

We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.

What. The. Fuck?

Since when is it required to be in the right country to view video content?
I knew about country-specific Google results (way to play along governments — and let Yahoo appear like the sole devil), but country-specific playback ability for videos that for the most part don’t have any restriction on export?

Update: for some reason, installing Google’s Web Accelerator allows one to view the videos (hat tip: Philipp Lenssen on Google Blogoscoped). Still no solution for non-Windows users besides using a proxy.
Oh well, I guess I can live without seeing Mario Unleashed or Morning Musume’s neko pose…

This has to be the most unusual form of goodies a bad band could sell: Slipknot incense.
What’s next, KoЯn aromatherapy bath bombs? …Rage Against The Machine squishy stress balls? …RSS 3.0?

Because you need to remember only the important details, I outlined Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean for you:

• Things she was more like:
  • a beauty queen from a movie scene
• Things she told me:
  • “I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round.”
  • her name
    • Billie Jean
  • that I am the one
• Things mother and people always told me:
  • being careful of what I’m doing
    • failure to do so could cause a lie to become the truth
  • not going around breaking young girls’ hearts
  • being careful of who I love
• Things Billie Jean is:
  • not my lover
  • just a girl who claims that I am the one
• Number of days during which the law was on her side:
  • forty
• Things Billie Jean did:
  • told my baby we’d danced (on the floor, in the round) till three
  • looked at me
  • showed a photo
• Things my baby did:
  • cry
• My strong advice:
  • just remember to always think twice

Ces derniers jours, il a été dit à mon sujet par une bonne demi douzaine de personnes: “Ah, il est né le jour de la fête des mères ?”
(Courage, encore trois fois ça et j’atteins le siècle.)

Aussi: Sephora dit “Vive les mamans sexy”, ça me donne envie de gifler le publicitaire qui a pensé ce slogan around a bit with a large trout. Comme Court, je ne pense pas à ma mère en ces termes là, surtout le jour de la fête des mères.

La page de pubs s’arrête sur un rappel des prochaines élections européennes, et voilà Jenifer qui entonne son nouveau single “Ma Révolution”, un clip à forte dominante rouge.

Comme quoi être à la solde de TF1, ça n’empêche pas de faire de la propagande pub pour la LCR.
