I did check out your "hunter shoots a bear" link; it was cool. Not that often I can say that about advertising. When an ad comes on, I usually hit the mute button as fast as possible while cursing and shielding my eyes.
A friend is building an arcade machine with a bunch of old ROMs; if I can get a flash file that retains quality at full screen, I may throw the Mario on there for the novelty.
It's literally the original Pokemon made into a tower defense game. However, its much more difficult/time consuming than the original Pokemon. The game isn't finished yet, but the creator is continually adding on to it. Right now it has 4 gyms and I still haven't reached the 4th despite having a L46 Charizard, L44 Raichu, L44, Butter-free and three others in their 30's.
If anyone else is getting sick of reading sci-fi and would rather watch it instead, I found these short little summations of classic Star Trek episodes by a guy who sounds a lot like the Honey Badger dude.
I beat the system just by stopping the pages from loading completely. I did something similar while browsing boardgamegeek as well.
Further proof that the SOPA and PIPA won't stop people who are determined in getting what they want through the internet. It'll actually encourage more piracy if anything.

I don't think that little trick of yours will work for everything. First of all, it's only a little patch solution for a potential problem that is much bigger, which would affect a lot of people (many of whom wouldn't have any tricks up their sleeves) and which shouldn't be happening at all. It's more about protesting SOPA and PIPA than it is about finding crafty ways around them. Besides, this would likely be about a lot more than just piracy. As it stands now, large corporations stand to gain even more power and monopolization of online space by effectively blocking out smaller operations that don't have the resources to police their own content down to every last link. There's also been talk about blocking foreign sites entirely to stop "foreign criminals from stealing American innovations!" Is it surprising that this kind of paranoid thinking is the product of a Republican from Texas? Technically, these laws are about anti-piracy, about protecting copyrights, etc. In reality, it's going to be about restricting information and slanting the experience of the internet very sharply in favor of those who can best afford to make their influence felt.
