Don't Copy That Floppy!

An old PSA from the ‘90’s. Don't ask, but your head will explode from “the awesome!” This opens up a whole pool of discussion of how this all really works.

But for now, just kick up your speakers, and do the running man.

That's REALLY funny. Did you notice that the programmers were from AOL? Oh man, that really brings back some memories! lol :-)

I believe that's from the 80's, not from the 90's.

The copyright at the end said 1992. That seems about right.

I saw that yesterday. Some of the words and the beat are still stuck in my head. (*ray)

I like how near the end the guy is all like, I'll use my money from summer to buy a copy of a SCIENCE game. :-)

Remember earlier in the vid, the girl said she didn't want to be late for the 4th period? Notice that a) she would have been and b) where were the rest of the students? Ha Hah. What are the odds that one of the actors in a PSA about piracy would want to be a computer programmer!? Wow…shocking. :p

I was probably around the same age back then and if they were real, not just a PSA, that guy might have bought the game, at some point would have copied again. Either that or he would realized owning a gaming console is better. SNES? Sega Genesis?

It's ok, I'm just the kind of wierd guy that sits through things like that, ALL THE WAY till the end. Most normal people don't look at credits or copyrights. lol (^_^)

BTW, I love the “Pop and Lock” style moves that guy was doing…funny, funny stuff.

I may try and make a ring tone out of this…..“Don't Copy….Don't Copy that Floppy…Don't Copy….Don't Copy that Floppy”….

After watching that old skool pop kind of rap, I just had to watch more old skool, gangsta like rap. Specifically Public Enemy. Then I felt better. (*_*)

Also note that the song acts like you can just up and call a programmer, and they'll be more than happy to shoot the breeze with you.

Also, someone can NOT play Tetris. Haha.

Is it me, or does the video sound like a cross between O.P.P. and the theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

“In West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground where I spent most of my days….”
