W Bush did that too

A more recent candidate, Romney I think? tried to use another Springsteen song and he told them to stop.

Yeah but there was some follow-up sleuthing that revealed that same person also "died" after a social media gaffe in 2018, right? Or am I falling for internet bullshit.

Yeah, and also that there's no obituaries or anything for anyone with that name back in 2018 when they first made the claim either.

Wasn’t it also Applebee’s in the infamous Battlestar Galactica soup commercial?

Edit: nope looks like that one was for crackers.

'Give me $10 million billion trillion then :D' is kind of a troll, but just cut your losses and move on, Jesus it's not like it's the greatest name ever

Not to mention, that's not even changing your name. It's abbreviating it. Everyone knows what the A stands for.

Is Lady Antebellum big in the US or something, I'm only vaguely familiar with their name and I don't even know what type of music they make. Can they reasonably be expected to have millions and millions?

They're a country band, so they're popular exclusively in the US and Alberta.

Tang. It's a Tang joke. And a pretty good Tang joke at that.

Mine was going to be better. Let's delete his post.

I assumed that was on purpose, it can't not be.

More spam:



A person with the extremely normal AMERICAN name of Girdaladze has cancer...maybe.

My favorite of these are the ones where they try to use an actual generic American name, but flip the given and surname because that's how they do it where the spammer is from.

So you get stuff like "I am Mr Smith Mike".

Twitch recently took down a massive number of streams due to copyright violations with no warning. It looks like it was mostly responding to automated DMCAs. Apparently quite a few were false positives, in-game music or ancient streams from before there was any enforcement.

I actually think this is exactly the sort of solution that's needed, although "1000s" of songs isn't great. I've seen quite a few Twitch streams where the hosts have to deny music requests from viewers because they don't want the banhammer coming down on them. Or streams where they open a youtube video and quickly have to mute or close it because there's music playing :v:

E: ok Monstercat's catalogue kinda sucks.

Also it appears to be letting you buy affiliate for $5?

Or at least cut the line.

I did have one occasion where I could definitely blame the delivery driver. Mainly because they picked up my food and then five minutes later marked it as delivered when there was no way they were anywhere near my house. Not sure why they did that when it was clearly going to blow back on them.

All the food delivery apps require the driver to be within a certain GPS range of where the order was placed to mark delivered now because of stuff like that.
