Don't Copy That Floppy!

I can't remember if I linked you guys to this video several months ago when I first found it, but I was helping my roomate back up his hard drive due to some virus crap his family put on his computer during a 5 minute visit last week, and I ran across it again.

So I decided to upload it for your viewing pleasure.

Whatever you do, <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Don't%20Copy%20That%20Floppy.wmv' target='_blank'>Don't Copy That Floppy</a>!

    I find it ironic that its' 24 megs, something that would've taken like 2 days to download in 1912 or whenever this was made.

    I don't think it was spread via whatever backasswards internet they had back then.

    I think the 50's had WAYYYYYY better prevention videos (or at least the parodies I've seen of them are pretty awesome).


    I have a much shorter version that would have worked better.


    Little Jimmy puts in the floppy, hits ok when it asks if he wants to copy, and the computer monitor blows up. Killing him, that girl, and a puppy who forgot to duck and cover.

    ONOS! Creepy black man with bug eyes of death!

    This is an absolutel classic of the internet, at one point I watched this enough so that I could do about 5 minutes of the rap (complete with drume affests), but now I can only remember the first couple verses. Fun Fact: The guy who does the rapping goes by the name of M E Hart, and he is now a lawyer, and he does NOT answer fan mail.

    See, that's what I'm talking about.

    Easily 10x better than "Don't copy that floppy" for entertainment value.

    The thing with DCtF is that wherever you pause it with DP on the screen, he ALWAYS looks evil. Give it a try. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    A while ago i thought i'd track down the mysterious DP. First i got his name, from the credits, so i put it into imdb and found <a href='http://imdb.com/name/nm0366420/' target='_blank'>this</a>. And what's this i got from google? ME Hart works as the Vice President of Organizational Performance for Strategic Interactions, Inc. Go check out their staff page <a href='http://www.strategicinteractions.com/pages/who/bios.html' target='_blank'>here</a>, scroll down and look for "ME Hart - Attorney At Law". It's DP, it looks like DP, it has to be DP. Oh? Is that DP's email there?.... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    that dont copy that floppy video has some of the worst audio quality I've ever heard, I can't hear what they are saying half the time, and the music sucks too. Sry to complain, but I have a sinus headache from getting too much water up my nose yesterday swimming, and this video just made it worse. I hardly noticed it before, but now it's pounding.

    He won't respond. Trust me, I've tried several times. All I want to do is get him to bust rhymes and break beats at my parties! Is that so much to ask?

    Lol, Duck and Cover was great. They know that a thin cloth or even a newspaper can save them from the serious burn from an atomic bobm <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Were people really that dumb to beleive that ducking and covering can save you? I mean, it can destroy an entire city (Hiroshima) but your newspaper will save you!!!

    Actually, I believe it's taking into account the fact that the blast damage has a radius of like 1-2 miles, but the flash can be seen far far further than that.

    It's sort of like why you have to wear that special helmet when using an arc welder, that light can seriously mess up your eyes and skin with enough exposure.

    Similairly, some people's skin can severly mess up my eyes with even a little (indecent) exposure.
