You never want to go full bozo....
This one's via Twitter and there appear to be more and more like it, with creators seeing their own work deemed by YouTube's copyright bots as the property of someone else.

Never mind the swirling culture war aspects of the Duck Dynasty kerfuffle - there's a far simpler failure here, and it's of PR. Exactly which people at A&E were surprised by the GQ interview? Who wasn't smart enough to imagine what kinds of questions GQ would ask (pageviews!), and what kind of answers Phil would have for them? When you decide to make money off of what you see as the foilbles of people who aren't like you, you have to understand the full package you are paying for.

I haven't used Windows 8 yet, but I have read many, many of the pundits talking about it. This may be the funniest paragraph I've read on it yet:
I think it’s pretty clear that the Windows 8 bet is failing. Windows 8 is being pre-installed on a lot of PCs, but that’s because Microsoft is pushing it through the OEMs. Microsoft could ship a hamster wrapped in duct tape, label it Windows, and a lot of OEMs would bundle it.
The rest of the post is good too - albeit more serious :)
