Not even 24 hours into the vacation and I start getting texts. From the Nephew, the Owner has just left for Italy (with his Canadian Girlfriend, no doubt doing for Canada's reputation in Italy what he's done for Italy in Canada...returning the favor you might say) - and no sooner did he get on the plane than his daughter showed up, found the key to the liquor room (hidden, especially from her...) and began to have a party. Oh yeah, and what a party it was...her daughter is 15 (same as mine. You'll see the reference in the texts...)
The owner will return to a fine situation I'm sure...

The whole thing is amusing, but forward to 2 Minutes & 22 Seconds.
This short segment is not a blooper. It's what he "thinks", and it's scary as hell. It's typical of privileged white folk to think this way. I know enough of them to assure you that he isn't kidding. So there's really no surprise that it will be The Donald or The Hillary coming to office.

Principally it exists for major corporations to abuse and exploit.
For Example: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/07/photographer-sues-getty-images-for-selling-photos-she-donated-to-public/
That she should win is obvious and intuitive. A billion dollars? My mind says no, my heart says "Set an Example for the Copyright Trolls!".

Vice solicits a group of strangers to take part in the "36 Questions to Encourage Interpersonal Closeness". No, obviously it's not a magic bullet, chances will be greatly improved if you actually like the person you're asking the questions of (and presumably if you're asking them the questions chances are you're interested, so it's a failed experiment in that sense, it's value with random strangers is a bit too much of a scattershot approach), but it's an entertaining 10 minutes nonetheless.
