בפרסומת האיקונית נגד פיראטיות השתמשו בפונט שהוא שכפול פיראטי של פונט אחר. יוצר הפונט: זה מצחיק לפני 20 שנה הייתה פרסומת מאוד איקונית בסרטים על גבי DVD נגד הורדות סרטים, שאמרה שלהוריד סרט זה כמו לגנוב עותק פיזי שלו וזה כמו לגנוב טלוויזיה, תיק או רכב. פיראטיות היא פשע, ובאנגלית Piracy Is a Crime נכתב באותיות של קידוש לבנה. ואפרופו אותיות האלה, הן כתובות בפונט פיראטי. לפני שבועיים מליסה לואיס, עיתונאית ומתכננת, כתבה ברשת בלוסקיי "היום למדתי שהסרטון נגד פיראטיות משנות ה-2000 השתמש בפונט שעוצב על ידי יוסט ואן רוסום, שאחיו חידו יצר את שפת התכנות פייתון". היא מצאה את זה אחרי שחיפשה מידע על הפונט שמופיע בספר זייטגייסט של ברוס סטרלינג. ואז משתמש אחר בשם ריב, שמציג את עצמו כמשמר מדיה ומשחקים ישנים חקר קצת יותר. באמצעות ה-Waybackmachine הוא גלש לאתר של הקמפיין (piracyisacrime.com) ואיתר מסמך PDF עם שני סוגי גופנים - הלווטיקה (שכולם מכירים בלי לדעת שזה השם מלוגוים של חברות כמו Jeep, Post it, Panasonic ומלא אחרים). ופונט נוסף שנקרא XBAND Rough. ואן רוסום לא קרא לפונט שלו XBAND Rough אלא FF Confidetial, שאפשר למצוא גם היום ולרכוש רשיון עבורו. המסקנה מהדיווחים על הסיפור הזה שהפונט הזה כנראה שוכפל קיבל שם אחר והופץ בחינם, וסביר להניח שיוצרי הקמפיין לא ידעו שמדובר בגופן לא שלהם. יוצר הפונט אמר לרשת סקיי ולטורנט פריק שהוא ידע שיש עותק פיראטי של הפונט שלו, אבל לא ידע שזה העותק שהיה בפרסומת ושזה מצחיק אותו. הפונט כבר לא שייך לו, אז הוא לא יתבע. סקיי פנו גם לארגוני זכויות יוצרים, ובינתיים קיבלו תשובה מ-FACT שאמרו שהפרסומת נעשתה מזמן והאנשים שהיו אז בארגון כבר לא עובדים בו. ועובדת בונוס לסיום - האתר של הקמפיין piracyisacrime.com נסגר לפני כמה שנים ולפי טורנטפריק מתישהו הפך לאתר ביפנית שעוסק בעבודת סיעוד. ואז ב-2021 הוא הוצע למכירה ב-3,000 דולר למישהו שכבר 4 שנים יוצר ממנו רידיירקט לפארודיה שנעשתה על הסרטון המקורי בסיטקום הבריטי IT Crowd. לרלרת אהוד כמעט נדרס על ידי אופניים חשמליים שחר עשה טיפול שורש ולא הרגיש כלום

Join Roxy Striar & John Humphrey as they embark on an epic island adventure with DreamWorks Animation's 2024 family favorite, The Wild Robot. When an advanced android named Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong'o, Oscar-winner for 12 Years a Slave and Black Panther) washes ashore, she must learn to survive in the wilderness—befriending a playful fox named Fink (Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) and adopting an orphaned gosling, Brightbill (Kit Connor, Heartstopper, Slumber Party), as her own. Alongside Roz's newfound family are Pinktail the possum mom (Catherine O'Hara, Home Alone, Schitt's Creek), Longneck the wise elder goose (Bill Nighy, Love Actually, Pirates of the Caribbean), and Thunderbolt the peregrine falcon (Ving Rhames, Mission: Impossible series, Pulp Fiction)—each teaching Roz vital lessons. But when the ruthless retrieval robot Vontra (Stephanie Hsu, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Marvels) arrives to capture Roz, and the fearsome bear Thorn (Mark Hamill, Star Wars, Batman: The Animated Series) stalks the island, Roz must rely on her ingenuity and the loyalty of her animal friends—like neurotic beaver Paddler (Matt Berry, What We Do in the Shadows, The IT Crowd)—to protect Brightbill and call the island home. Roxy & John break down every standout moment: Roz's first dawn-lit trek through the forest, the heartwarming microbot experiment that almost goes awry, the breathtaking flight-training sequences, and the tense factory showdown with Vontra.

Nick and Angela welcome another Irish guest to Dish HQ. Chris O'Dowd is an award-winning actor, writer and director. He was born in Boyle, County Roscommon, and studied politics at University College Dublin, later enrolling at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Chris played Roy Trenneman in The IT Crowd on Channel 4, which helped him secure his Hollywood debut in Bridesmaids in 2011. He created and starred in Moone Boy in 2012, a semi-autobiographical, Emmy-winning series set in his hometown. Chris wrote, directed and acted in his new show Small Town, Big Story, a Sky original featuring Christina Hendricks Paddy Considine. Nick pours Chris a whisky and the pair snack on Keogh's crisps while Angela prepares sticky pulled pork and a shredded quick pickled salad. The experts at Waitrose pair this meal with a Calmel & Joseph organic pinot noir. Chris O'Dowd is very charming company and tickles Nick and Angela with tales of his pet tortoise. He recalls what life was like when the family lived in LA and shares the inspiration for his new show Small Town, Big Story. This episode talks about kids getting involved in cooking; while it's always a win, younger children should be supervised by an adult when using kitchen equipment, including the air fryers mentioned.

Det finnes en haug med tv-serier lagt til arbeidsplassen: The Office, Etaten, Parks and Recreation, Mad Men, The IT Crowd. Det er noe med kontorlandskapet som gjør at det egner seg godt som åsted for både absurd humor og eksistensielt drama. I dette avgrensede og lukkede miljøet kan serieskaperen boltre seg i en alle slags mennesketyper og fortelle noe sant og gjenkjennelig om kontrasten mellom den vi er og den arbeidsplassen eller samfunnet skulle ønske at vi var. Kjernekonseptet i Severance, som nå for tiden ruller ut andre sesong på strømmetjenesten AppleTV+, er en prosedyre som gjør det mulig å splitte personligheten i to. Den man er på jobb, har dermed ingen minner om hvem man er på fritiden.

Recording of a debate at the Battle of Ideas festival 2023 on Sunday 29 October, at Church House, London. Subscribe to the Academy of Ideas Substack for more information on the next Battle and future events: https://clairefox.substack.com/subscribe INTRODUCTION At the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Comedy Unleashed's show, featuring Graham Linehan, was cancelled because the venue did not ‘support his views' and his presence would ‘violate their space'. The edgy spirit that used to characterise the Edinburgh Festival Fringe specifically, and stand-up comedy more generally, seems to have evaporated. There was no outcry from comedians attending the festival and very few publicly expressed even the mildest of support for free expression in the arts. Earlier that year, Nigel Farage was debanked by Coutts, for expressing views that go against the bank's ‘values'. Despite the bankers themselves having admitted fault, comedian Omid Djalili publicly sided with the elite bank. When comedians see no problem with using the denial of banking services as a form of punishment for holding certain views, how can they claim that they are ‘punching up'? Why do comedians increasingly side with the Establishment? How can comics say that they are ‘punching up' when they support the people being ‘cancelled' by corporations? As society becomes more authoritarian, where is the satirical response and creative backlash?

Peter Boghossian presents more than 20 claims to the gentleman, unearthing their perspectives on patriarchy, the looming technological singularity, limits of comedy, the BBC, and more. Graham Linehan is an award-winning television writer and the comic genius behind British sitcoms “Father Ted,” “The IT Crowd,” and “Black Books.” He is a vocal advocate for women's rights and children's safety. He recently published his bestselling memoir, “Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy.” Leo Kearse is an award-winning comedian with a new weekly show on GB News, “The Saturday Night Showdown.” He was banned from his venue at the Australian Perth Fringe Festival after his content was called transphobic--despite writing the material with a transgender woman he was dating.

Legends, Loot, & Lore: A Players's Guide to Dungeons and Dragons
Roll up with your twenty-sided dice and spell books, as "Legends, Loot and Lore" embarks on a spirited tour of Dungeons & Dragons' most memorable forays into television. Together with Catherine, a fixture in our podcasting party, we pay homage to the rasterized realms where D&D not only rolled initiative on screen but also cast a charm spell over viewers. From the demogorgon-fueled adventures in "Stranger Things" to the nostalgic trip to the "Freaks and Geeks" basement, we parse through how our beloved tabletop epic has crit-hit its way into the heart of pop culture, with a few unexpected digressions that are as delightful as they are insightful.The dice gods have spoken, and we've got the definitive list from Inverse.com, but not without our own twist. Catherine and I don our wizard hats and conjure an analysis of television's most iconic D&D episodes, where we might not always see eye-to-eye with Inverse's rankings. We celebrate the power of role-playing to bring people together, laughing along with "The IT Crowd," reminiscing with "The Goldbergs," and even imagining how the Scooby Gang from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" would fare on a D&D campaign. It's an episode brimming with the kind of nostalgia and camaraderie that could only be inspired by countless nights around the gaming table.As our quest nears its end, we share our personal picks for the episodes that have truly honored the spirit of D&D. We ponder how the characters from "Gravity Falls" would stack up in a campaign, chuckle at a Key & Peele sketch that marries hip-hop culture with monster-slaying, and even delve into the psyche of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" characters as potential D&D heroes. So, whether you're a dungeon master or a curious newcomer, join us for an episode that's as much a celebration of shared storytelling as it is a tribute to the rolling of the dice that binds us all in the fantastical world of Dungeons & Dragons.Inverse.com - D&D TV Show Episodes RankedScreen Rant - Buffy Characters as D&D PlayersCampaign Eddie Funko Pop Support the show1.

Katherine Parkinson has graced our TV screens for almost two decades, from Doc Martin and The IT Crowd to Humans and Here We Go. Now she has a comedy drama airing on ITV called Significant Other, in which she plays one half of an odd couple - neighbours who meet in highly unusual circumstances. She joins Clare McDonnell to discuss. Former Labour MP and government Minister Dame Joan Ruddock tells Clare about her call for a free vote in the Commons to legalise assisted dying. She admitted she was ready to end her terminally ill husband's life to stop his pain. Our New Year's day programme on negotiating provoked one listener to write to us: 'I would love you to cover negotiations between carers and their parent with dementia. Another world! As is negotiating between carer and their siblings'. Professor June Andrews, who's a fellow of the Royal College of Nursing and an author of Carers and Caring, and Dr Lis Boulton, Health and Care Manager at the charity Age UK, discuss. The Storm We Made is a new book by the debut author Vanessa Chan. Set in what we know today as Malaysia across two timelines - British colonialism and Japanese colonialism - it follows bored housewife Cecily who risks it all to become a spy for a general. But her decisions have huge repercussions for her and her family. Vanessa Chan joins Clare to discuss her book which was fought over in a seven-way auction by publishers in the UK. Steph Daniels gave up hockey in her 30s to teach PE and English and manage an all-female synth pop group called Zenana. However, in her 70s, she saw an advert for Bedford Hockey Club and decided to dust off her sticks. Since then, she's even attended a trial for the over-70s England team and vows to try again next year. She joins Clare to talk about reigniting old passions.Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Dianne McGregor

On today's #NCFWhittle, we are joined by comedy legend Graham Linehan, best known as the creator of comedy hits Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Black Books, but also one of Britain's most prominent campaigners to protect women-only spaces and safeguard children against harmful surgery. Graham's latest book is Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tough-Crowd-... THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘A must-read. Funny and utterly compelling' Jonathan Ross "Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five Baftas and a lifetime achievement award. Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number and his marriage collapsed. In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colourfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help. Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on – and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon." https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tough-Crowd-Made-Career-Comedy/dp/1785633066 --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Graham Lanahan, commonly known as Glinner, joins Sasha & Stella for an insightful exploration of comedy, societal shifts, and the personal journey of how a prominent comedy writer landed himself in the thick of identity politics. The episode serves as a testament to the ongoing struggle for open dialogue in the evolving conversation around gender. Graham Lanahan, born in Dublin, is the mastermind behind the beloved sitcoms Father Ted, The IT Crowd, Black Boots, and Motherland. His Substack, The Glinner Update, is dedicated to monitoring the extremes of gender identity ideology, and he also co-hosts the highly successful “The Mess We're In” on YouTube, which has garnered a remarkable 1.5 million views in just three years.In this conversation, Sasha, Stella, and Glinner explore the intersection of his comedic roots, evolving perceptions, and activism in the face of isolation and confrontation. Linehan shares his concerns about the transgender movement and its impact on children. And he reflects on the challenges of using humor in addressing the topic and the complexities of navigating cancel culture. Linehan also touches on his foray into online activism during the Gamergate controversy. Initially driven by a desire to protect women from online harassment, Linehan admitted later to realizing the complexities of the situation and the influence of authoritarian voices within woke culture. Things get very personal when he candidly shares about his evolution from staunch anti-abortion beliefs to becoming an advocate, driven by personal experiences. His, is a vivacious voice navigating the complexities of modern activism, advocating against misinformation, and speaking up against the prevailing narratives in the gender debates. Linehan's story serves as a fascinating exploration of an artist's evolution in response to the ever-changing landscapes of politics and culture.The Glinner Update (Substack)https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/ Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedyhttps://www.amazon.com/Tough-Crowd-Made-Career-Comedy-ebook/dp/B0CJ3YLYWF/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1699560605&refinements=p_27%3AGraham+Linehan&s=books&sr=1-1 The Mess We're Inhttps://www.youtube.com/@GrahamLinehanMagdalen Berns on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@MagdalenBerns Order Our Book – When Kids Say They're Trans: A Guide for Thoughtful Parentshttps://whenkidssaytheyretrans.com/ Support the Show & Access Exclusive Contenthttps://www.patreon.com/WiderLensPodJoin the conversation on YouTubewww.youtube.com/@widerlenspodIf you liked this episode, more episodes you might find interesting:Episode 132 - How To Have Impossible Conversations About Gender with Peter Boghossian

Editors - Jason Ballantine ACE and Paul Machliss ACE While THE FLASH editors Jason Ballantine ACE and Paul Machliss ACE* both hail from Australia, this latest entry in the DCEU would be their first time meeting one another. Both editors have been advancing their careers away from their homeland for quite some time. Jason has worked in LA for the past ten years, while Paul has been in London for the last twenty. The director who would be responsible for bringing these two together is Andy Muschietti, Jason's director for IT (2017) and IT CHAPTER TWO (2019). The two editors split editing duties pretty much down the middle for THE FLASH, each taking five of the film's ten reels. One thing that did separate them for much of the film's development was geography. While Jason was holding down the fort at Warner Brothers Studios in LA, Paul was on location in the UK for seven months, assembling main unit footage with Muschietti. Following production, Machliss would join Jason in LA for six additional months of editing. And it would be six more months before Ballantine would put the final touches on the highly anticipated "metahuman" movie. Based on the DC Comics character of the same name, THE FLASH is the thirteenth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen (The Flash) alongside Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston and Maribel Verdú. In the film, Barry travels back in time to prevent his mother's death, which traps him in an alternate reality without metahumans. Barry enlists the help of; his younger self, an older Batman and the Kryptonian castaway Supergirl in order to save this world from General Zod and return to his universe. JASON BALLANTINE ACE Jason Ballantine began his editing career in the horror genre (one which he would return to often) with the Australian thriller WOLF CREEK (2005). From there he would edit other fright flicks, such as PROM NIGHT (2008), CRUSH (2009) and NEEDLE (2010). But it would be his work on director Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's IT (2017) and IT: CHAPTER TWO (2019) that would put an exclamation point on Jason's work in the horror medium. Jason has also previously teamed up with directors Baz Luhrmann and Matthew Vaughn for THE GREAT GATSBY (2013) and THE KING'S MAN (2021) respectively. PAUL MACHLISS ACE While known most prominently for his work with Edgar Wright; SPACED (1999-2001), SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD (2010), THE WORLD'S END (2013), BABY DRIVER (2017) and LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021), Paul also edited; the pilot episode of FLEABAG (2016), eighteen episodes of THE IT CROWD (2006-2008) and films such as THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING (2019) and THE GENTLEMEN (2019). For his work on BABY DRIVER, Paul was nominated for an Oscar® alongside co-editor John Amos. * [Publisher's Note] The guests wish to express their regret and apologies for using he/him pronouns in referencing Ezra Miller (they/them). No disrespect was intended toward Ezra or anyone else. This oversight should be attributed to all of the following conditions: jet lag, old age, and recording this interview way too early on a Sunday morning. Thanks for your understanding.
