Sketch comedy troupe proposes a EULA for friendship

AlexanderDitto sez, "This week's LoadingReadyRun video addresses combining restrictive End-User License Agreements with Friendships. Results: pain. Also laughs!"

I really liked the sideswipe at the kind of "friendship" that social network services seem to think we live with."

Terms of Friendship (Thanks, AlexanderDitto!)

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I was surprised Desert Bus didn’t show up on boingboing. Maybe next year.

This isn’t the first time they’ve delved into “law… thing.” Their video The Divorce is also worth checking out.

EULAs are just like NYC apartment brokers.

I was enjoying it until a text ad popped-up (for the second time) in the middle of the frame, at which point I stopped watching.

I was distracted by the giant map of Moscow. Is that quilted?

These Victoria guys are pretty damn funny. Plus one of their mainstay female leads is smokin’ hot.

Check out the saga that was their Desert Bus fundraiser for Child’s Play. I spent a weekend in that chat with them and I would say it was time well spent for a good cause.

I loved the video! A good, light-hearted parody of EULAs.

The rest of their stuff is really good, too.
