I'm not one for commenting on public executions but it is hard not to notice this particular one over the past while. What to say...I keep coming back to a comment that Hunter made about Fred Exley's 1968 novel, A Fan's Notes. In a letter to Selma Shapiro of Random House, Hunter wrote - "There is something very good and right about it, hard to define...Very weird. I suppose it's the truth-level, a demented kind of honesty."
Totally Gonzo 
Dear Sir,
It gives me much pleasure to tell you that it is my video you have up on your nice bit of web estate. It also gave me much pleasure to see Ralph Steadman smash that shit to pieces with a fucking ice pick.
But it gave me the most pleasure because I was in the middle of a fucking new media conference and all that these twittering miopic baboons can think of is their iPhone apps and the latest research info-graphic that tells them how many liters they pee per coffee cup consumed.
Thank you,
Dibakar.
Thanks for the great footage, hopefully with a little luck some geek will invent an app that shocks the shit out of the user on installation. Now that would be interesting hahahahaha
