An Imaginative Use For CCTVs

An anonymous reader writes "Everyone knows we're being watched by CCTVs everywhere — particularly in the UK — and virtually everyone (at least on Slashdot) complains about that fact. But have you ever stopped to consider the ways you can use all those CCTVs to your advantage? The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from Manchester in the UK, did just that; they played in front of 80 different CCTVs around Manchester, and then asked for the video via Freedom of Information Act letters. (About 25% of the CCTV owners complied with the law and turned them over.) The result isn't too bad."

And in a more whimsical vein...

I see flash mobs. Many, many flash mobs, all obsessed with CCTV cameras. All overcome by a powerful need to bend over and drop trou.

You just KNOW somebody would leak the video before long.

Just think...

Just think what this could do for the porn industry.

Nothing. By the time the company they request the tape from actually responds, the tape will be so worn out all they'll get is static.

I think I prefer the ironic tone in the original, as opposed to the ham-fisted approach in your "fix".
