- kingbirdy 6y agoThat link is in the fourth sentence of the article.
- ordinaryradical 6y agoThought people might want the direct link with “using up your free articles” and all that.
- bitwize 6y agoI love how Gibson compared it to Stephenson's burbclaves, which to me is like the literary equivalent of a famous musical artist singing the "Weird Al" Yankovic version of their own song (which has also been known to happen).

- bitwize 6y agoI know of at least two. The Barenaked Ladies have been known to interject lyrics from "Jerry Springer" into live performances of "One Week". And The Presidents of the United States of America sometimes close out live versions of "Lump" with "And that's all I have to say about that" (the final line of "Gump").
