    I thought it was pretty cool, but "Karioke"?

    I generally despise the spelling and grammar nazi attitude, but karioke is just about the most interesting way I have seen it spelled wrong.

    But whatever, what I want to know is why these T-Mobile things are such a big hit. I am still trying to figure out if they are annoying or if I am indifferent. I know that it falls somewhere between the two for me.

    Call me a sucker, but I got teary during that. Random people having one genuinely happy, one-take experience. Fantastic.

    My apologies. I had no idea how to spell karaoke, but I have it fixed now.

    This made me happier than a bird with a french fry. Thanks for that. One of my fondest memories is singing Hey Jude karaoke at a mall in the Philippines, and the karaoke dj deciding to put it on the loudspeakers, and everyone joining in with me once the "na na na na-na-na-na" part came in.

    Why are we afraid of each other when this can happen.

    Why can't we have this in every city at Noon (12:00)?

    I would bet my Soul that War would be a demise of itself.

    Too bad that it was sponsored by T-Mobile and not a 'grass root' movement...

    Still, Humanity has potential!

    I'm not too proud to admit that I quietly sang along.

    Here's another singalong:

    look at all those infidels!

    but seriously, pretty cool. one of those videos that makes you feel like we could all live happily together even if for just a moment.

    A similar singalong-with-karaoke occurred in Trafalgar Square two years ago and set a Guiness record for the world's largest coconut orchestra
