The funny thing is, if you walk on the street you are being filmed by a million cameras. We are practically never not being recorded. That's what I think the guy's point is, if he has one. He's got an incredible set of balls and I'm amazed he's been doing this for so long without getting stabbed or shot.

exy: you really think you haven't been filmed?

Passively recorded and dumped. I don't think he is trying to make that point, I think he's just an asshole. A glorious, glorious asshole.

Ha ha ha! Silly poesters, of course I have been filmed--every time I've gone outside the house probably because the government knows I am the second coming of Christ.

No, but there is a difference between being filmed by the panopticon and by a person, namely in that most people respond to questions and this guy is evidently mutely ignoring all questions put to them. I'm not too surprised when the traffic signal camera won't respond to any of my queries.

My wife, who is smarter than me, called this a great statement on how people do not like being surveilled without any input or output available to them. Sounds good to me. All I'm saying I'm glad hasn't happened to me was someone coming up and sticking a camera in my face and then refusing to explain themselves at all. I would be as uncomfortable as these people, and there would be a video record of that discomfort, and we'd all be watching it now. THAT'S what I'm glad hasn't happened to me. Sheeze, you guys.

That's what I just said, right?

But really, you know that if somebody did this to you, you would assume it was him. If it were me, I'd be all "SHOUT OUT TO LIVELEAK! HOW'S MY POE FAM?! GIMME A DAP BRO, YOU AN ANNOYANCE LEGEND!"

exy: Is your wife OK with the guy in the panopticon at Target jagging off while he watches y'all? At least this guy has the decency to make himself visible. I find him far less creepy than whatever fucknut hides behind the monitors.

re: paragraph 3
I *think* it's a lot of different civil suit gray areas on top of each other, but it's mostly about whether or not you can "publish" the video if it's a non-celebrity.

Like the last thing you'd want to do is publish a video of a bunch of rich people who aren't newsworthy and then make fun of them in a handful of specific ways in a voice-over and make money off of the video and contact them and tell them you did it. This is a recipe for lawyers crawling up your ass. I think if I remember right, the main ways you wouldn't want to make fun of them is to call them syphilitic sluts who are crooked and incompetent in their professional lives- basically everything you'd be tempted to say.
