Who knew? It turns out that Anonymous is largely made up of gnomes. That's probably not a surprise to any of us who spent real time with gnomish engineering.
With all the recent talk of SOPA, PIPA, and Megaupload, the gnome members of the hacktivist community finally decided to take action. Working through Olibith, these gnomes have announced Operation GnoVibrator Fury. They are Anonymous. They are pretty small. They do not forgive. And most of the time, they do not forget.
This is a super-short video (see what I did there?), but it's a lot of fun. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
It's amazing how fast our legislative representatives can change their mind after 48 hours. Hundreds of thousands of emails were sent yesterday because of just a couple of huge companies. Too bad that they don't advocate more things - there could have been some ..real.. change in the last 4 years.
OT: Megaupload will win and be up and running in solely because they have anonymity to what is actually posted on their website (especially Dotcom).
If anyone doesn't quite get it: This video is in the format of the promise videos that real-life "hacker" group Anonymous releases to explain its actions. They also use a formatted voice, a similar logo, and the gentle undertone music.
Thank you Saint. I was sorta sitting here thinking " What the hell did I just watch?", until you mentioned that. I had forgotten about them, and had never heard their synthesized message.

It's a clever parody.

Makes all sorts of sense now. :)

Gnomes will remember what you just did Michael. Your name will be carved onto the great iron wall of victory.
