   Ahh nice, a real life example of herd mentality. At least singing songs is harmless.

   If this is true, canary in the coal mine. I wonder what the video for this will be.

   Now many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
   I was married to a widder who was pretty as can be
   This widder had a grown up daughter who had hair of red
   My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed.

   This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
   My daughter was my mother for she was my father’s wife
   To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
   I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

   My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
   And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
   For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother
   Of the widder’s grown up daughter who of course was my step-mother.

   Father’s wife then had a son who kept him on the run
   And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter’s son
   My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue
   Because although she is my wife, she’s my grandmother too.

   Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I’m her grandchild
   And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
   For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
   As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.

   I’m my own grand-pa. I’m my own grand-pa.

   It sounds funny I know, but it really is so

   Oh, I’m my own grand-pa.

   If you’re worried about the prevalence of recording devices in today’s society you’ll probably enjoy this:

   Follow up to comment #3 above, looks like Bloomberg picked up the story as well.

   Here’s the headline: “California Budget Plan Draws Republican Ire on Prisoner Release.” Thoughts/comments on what the videos soon to be coming from California will be like (assuming this early release story is true, of course)?

   “Stop and think about what this means — there is hardly a moment of our daily lives when some recording device isn’t rolling . . .”

   I think you’re referring to the Participatory Panopticon, or at least that is what it was termed a few years back by Worldchanging (http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/002651.html).
