Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

It was a retardical question.

And YMMV on some of those (I don't find goatse particularly amusing myself). There is an interesting anthropological angle to this, that you're essentially seeing a cultural tradition destroyed due to copyright.

Is it possible that someone's just meta-trolling with a fake copyright claim? You know, like when "Habsro" made copyright claims on a bunch of MLP videos?

It does kind of leave me questioning how exactly AVG has the license rights to the song and/or video.


EDIT: Found an explanation.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

What bugs me about this is I don't think AVG is the copyright holder to the song. Apparently, it's copyright PWL?

Besides, Vevo has a video up.

(Also, it is illegal to file a DMCA. Pretty sure AVG is going to run into a lot of trouble for that.)

Except that WAS the explanation

They have an "official" video up they want to make money off of, which means shutting down all the others. And you just played right into their hands!

miauw, you are not actually aware of what Vevo is, are you?

It explicitly exists to funnel ad money to whoever owns the rights to a given video. They don't actually own any rights to any of their stuff themselves. If AVG owns the rights, you can bet your ass Vevo is giving them the money. They don't take risks like that.

God, that black guy he hired for his video sure is acrobatic. I still crack up when he backflips off the fence.
