That's brilliant and hilarious.

I love the changing camera angles. Also the trademark on beards.  ;D

Yes, I'd say they hit a satirical home run on that one.  ;D

This one is actually somewhat long at 13 minutes.  But he may make some valid points.  Although he makes it clear he doesn't like Dean, at the same time he points out that there may be some unintended consequences of Gibson making itself less desirable while it validates Dean.

It is ludicrous to suggest that anyone could get a Dean and Gibson mixed up.

Getting back to Gibson, I don't much keep up with guitar stuff.  So I don't even know who this guy is.  But he makes a few observations about the Gibson PR fiasco.  He refers to it as a "chuff up."  A term I've never heard before, but now I've learned some British slang.

they've been talking up the blended body design as the future of airliners since I was a kid in the 80s yet Boeing and Airbus still keep churning out traditional bodied new products. if it was as efficient and airworthy as they say, someone would have brought something to market by now

When asked when this would come out, the KLM CEO said 2050.  But they are serious enough about it to give some money to Delft University of Technology to explore the concept.

It looks like the Flying-V may have a future as an aircraft.

I sent this to a friend who has always been pro-Gibson who thinks this video is pretty funny.  For my part, though, I hardly know what to think.  I now find out one of my Gibson basses I bought several years ago is actually a Dean.  I thought all along that Dean on the headstock was kind of suspicious, however.

Whoever said there is no such thing as bad publicity (P.T. Barnum?) obviously never had the chance to see something like this.

I say nickel.  Of course each case is going to be different and I've heard stories about it.  But all I can say personally is my mother had a complete knee replacement about five years ago.  Rarely have I ever seen anything go so smoothly.  Everything was successful and she seemed to be in very little pain.  This is someone in her 80s.

I probably wouldn't need much help in not looking at someone playing a bass that's all the way down to his ankles.
