I found this the other day. Its an absolutely hilarious (and long) story about how a young guy in Arizona got back at a parking enforcement agency that booted his car. But beyond the hilarity, it really speaks to how the internet is altering our lives.

On one level it shows how the internet is able to simply, easily and cheaply disseminate information. Thousands and thousands of people have heard this guys story. The parking nazis of the world should be chastened.

But its also an incredible demonstration of how the nature of entertainment has changed over the last decade. In days past, we were beholden to the types of entertainment funded and created by large corporations and professional entertainers. Now, you are able to spend fifteen minutes being entertained and informed by content created by amateurs.

The internet continues to amaze me.
