Today, they're talking to KQED Pop about what inspired the magical parody, how they braved the ice cold Ocean Beach waters, and what they love most about the Bay Area. Oh, and they share a genius rhyme about BART to the tune of another Beyonce jam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop: First off, thank you so much for proving that there is still some magic in San Francisco and giving a voice to all of us who are suffering in a long-distance relationship with Dunkin' Donuts.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Adrian Anchondo:\u003c/strong> Haha! Thank you! There definitely is a lot of magic in the Bay Area, and some really great actors who are so committed to the art. I'm happy that I was able to get someone who always gives 110%. Reggie is an inspiration to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In a way, your video release is like \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/12/13/the-genius-behind-beyonces-surprise-game-changing-visual-album-self-titled/\">Beyonce's surprise album\u003c/a>, springing up out of nowhere and changing lives.

I had heard the large legend of Dunkin, but had never had it before. I fell in love. It was like that scene in \u003cem>The Color Purple\u003c/em> when Celie and Nettie run and hug...but in my mouth, with my taste buds and that donut. I've been cravin' I've been cravin' them ever since. I'm so happy they're coming to the West Coast!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> The idea for \"Dunkin Love\" came to me after having a little Beyonce Visual Album viewing party at my apartment in Berkeley. I invited a few people, including Reggie, and the album had been out just long enough for Reggie to memorize every single Beyonce dance move, which he later proved when he danced in front of my apartment at 3am 'til his wallet flew out of his pocket. I had recently heard that Dunkin Donuts was coming to the West Coast, and being that I grew up in the Northeast, I knew how big of a deal that was. It's like if In N Out came to the East Coast. I started thinking of lyrics and I called Reggie and was like, \"I have an idea, and you are doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> He asked me if I would be down to make a Drunk in Love spoof about Dunkin Donuts, and I was like, sure...thinking he was totally bluffing. He came up with some lyrics. Still thought he was bluffing. We recorded at my friend Tal Ariel's studio. Then I was like, \"Oh, this is really going to happen.\" A friend of our's, Mike, connected us with Edwin Gonzales. We shot the video with another friend of our's, Sarah Coykendall (her hands draw the heart around the donut at the end), and then....kaboom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This went viral pretty instantaneously.

I have this thing about not wanting to delete any friends on Facebook, even if we haven't talked for years. I just feel like we meet people for a reason and, even if I don't have the best relationship with them, I like to keep in touch. Thank the Facebook Gods that I did, because someone I met years ago in Bethlehem PA, when I used to live there, now works for Logo TV and NewNowNext.com. He showed it to his editor and the next day it posted at 5am. I didn't wake up 'til 9am and I had all these posts on Facebook, texts, phone calls. It was insane. Reggie and I went from texting each other after every 100 views, to not being able to keep up. People were watching it by the thousands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> Never in a million years would I have predicted this. I just thought this would be a thing Adrian and I would look at and laugh. I'm still in shock at all of the websites posting the video. It's insane! I can't even look anymore. My jaw is already unhinged. I mean, Out.com has my hairy armpits on their website. That was the first magazine I bought when I was like, \"Oh, I might be gay.\" And now, like 10 years later, they're writing about this spoof my friend and I made about DONUTS. I'm literally aghast. People.com, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Elle Magazine (and NO we are \u003cem>not\u003c/em> a couple; Adrian has a man!). It's all nuts! I'm so ridiculously appreciative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's the craziest exposure or response you've gotten so far?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> Nothing too crazy yet, just a couple of do I know you looks from people on the street. Some dude I went out on a couple of dates with 3 years ago Facebook messaged me and told me that my legs were insane. And last night, Adrian somehow managed to get the video played at Badlands, and people were singing along! People I didn't even know!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> I think \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/dunkin-love-is-the-only-beyonce-parody-youll-ever-need\">the BuzzFeed article\u003c/a> was the craziest exposure. I could not believe we became GIF files. I was at the gym and I saw our GIFs and I just wanted to cry. Dunkin Donuts has also responded and I think they are going to send us some swag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you look so fly despite Ocean Beach's frigid waters?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> It was cold AS SH*T...and I wasn't wearing a lot of clothes. But, you know, I'm a professional. You suffer for your craft. Tyra taught me to smize through anything, so I did. I'm glad there's only one scene where you can actually see my lips quivering because I'm freezing! My feet were numb for like 8 hours after that. It was insane. But looking back, \u003cem>totally\u003c/em> worth it (I mean, if I had to get my feet amputated, \u003cem>that\u003c/em> would have sucked....but I'm all good).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> Reggie looked great despite the cold because he is a professional. And he has legs for days. You can't really see, but the reason there is smoke around him is because me and our production assistant, Sarah, were behind him burning sage and burning our fingers. There were a few times during the shoot where some hot ashes got on Reggie. Extreme cold and extreme heat aren't fun at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Were those really Dunkin Donuts products? If so, how did you get them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> I actually bought the donuts from a great place in Berkeley (the chocolate glazed buttermilk is to die for), but the boxes are real. I had to beg my partner JC's family in Florida and Pennsylvania to send us boxes. They of course couldn't get them for free so they had a dozen donuts on me. So thankful to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you heard from Beyonce or at least Solange?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> No word from the Queen, or her sister, but I'm telling you, the minute I do hear, I'm going to wet myself. I don't care. Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter will know that I exist, and I will soil myself. Fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What other fast food chains would you write an ode to?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> I would definitely write for In N Out. When I lived on the East Coast and would see a bumper sticker for In N Out, I would want to lick it. That is how badly I was in withdrawal. But I think for my next project I want to do something that doesn't involve food. I have some ideas that I think people will love. I'm not actually doing this, but I came up with some lyrics for a parody of \"Partition\" that involves BART. \"City bring down the BARTition fees, I don't wanna have to pay for this on my knees, 45 minutes late and the tracks messed up, can't even take it back late from the club\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> I love me some Jack in the Box. I might have to write an ode to them. I love all fast food really. I eat terribly. My roommates make fun of me all of the time. My diet is fast food and Sour Patch Kids. And an occasional Kombucha to balance it all out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/28/bay-area-artists-talk-about-their-viral-donut-themed-beyonce-parody-dunkin-love/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11319\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-11319\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love.jpg\" alt=\"reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love\" width=\"253\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love-400x614.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\">\u003c/a>Tell us about what you do when you aren't blowing our minds with Munchkin donut allegories.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> I'm an equity actor in the Bay, so I'm acting all over the place, when I'm not honoring Queen B!

Today, they're talking to KQED Pop about what inspired the magical parody, how they braved the ice cold Ocean Beach waters, and what they love most about the Bay Area.

Thank you! There definitely is a lot of magic in the Bay Area, and some really great actors who are so committed to the art. I'm happy that I was able to get someone who always gives 110%.

I had heard the large legend of Dunkin, but had never had it before. I fell in love. It was like that scene in \u003cem>The Color Purple\u003c/em> when Celie and Nettie run and hug...but in my mouth, with my taste buds and that donut. I've been cravin' I've been cravin' them ever since. I'm so happy they're coming to the West Coast!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> The idea for \"Dunkin Love\" came to me after having a little Beyonce Visual Album viewing party at my apartment in Berkeley. I invited a few people, including Reggie, and the album had been out just long enough for Reggie to memorize every single Beyonce dance move, which he later proved when he danced in front of my apartment at 3am 'til his wallet flew out of his pocket. I had recently heard that Dunkin Donuts was coming to the West Coast, and being that I grew up in the Northeast, I knew how big of a deal that was. It's like if In N Out came to the East Coast. I started thinking of lyrics and I called Reggie and was like, \"I have an idea, and you are doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> He asked me if I would be down to make a Drunk in Love spoof about Dunkin Donuts, and I was like, sure...thinking he was totally bluffing. He came up with some lyrics. Still thought he was bluffing. We recorded at my friend Tal Ariel's studio. Then I was like, \"Oh, this is really going to happen.\" A friend of our's, Mike, connected us with Edwin Gonzales. We shot the video with another friend of our's, Sarah Coykendall (her hands draw the heart around the donut at the end), and then....kaboom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This went viral pretty instantaneously. Did you expect it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11306\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 358px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/28/bay-area-artists-talk-about-their-viral-donut-themed-beyonce-parody-dunkin-love/screenshot_2014-02-10-20-20-53_1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11306\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-11306 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/Screenshot_2014-02-10-20-20-53_1-934x1024.jpg\" alt='Reggie White and Adrian Anchondo on the \"Dunkin Love\" shoot' width=\"358\" height=\"393\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reggie White and Adrian Anchondo on the \"Dunkin Love\" shoot\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> This was seriously an overnight success. I have this thing about not wanting to delete any friends on Facebook, even if we haven't talked for years. I just feel like we meet people for a reason and, even if I don't have the best relationship with them, I like to keep in touch. Thank the Facebook Gods that I did, because someone I met years ago in Bethlehem PA, when I used to live there, now works for Logo TV and NewNowNext.com. He showed it to his editor and the next day it posted at 5am. I didn't wake up 'til 9am and I had all these posts on Facebook, texts, phone calls. It was insane. Reggie and I went from texting each other after every 100 views, to not being able to keep up. People were watching it by the thousands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> Never in a million years would I have predicted this. I just thought this would be a thing Adrian and I would look at and laugh. I'm still in shock at all of the websites posting the video. It's insane! I can't even look anymore. My jaw is already unhinged. I mean, Out.com has my hairy armpits on their website. That was the first magazine I bought when I was like, \"Oh, I might be gay.\" And now, like 10 years later, they're writing about this spoof my friend and I made about DONUTS. I'm literally aghast. People.com, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Elle Magazine (and NO we are \u003cem>not\u003c/em> a couple; Adrian has a man!). It's all nuts! I'm so ridiculously appreciative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's the craziest exposure or response you've gotten so far?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> Nothing too crazy yet, just a couple of do I know you looks from people on the street. Some dude I went out on a couple of dates with 3 years ago Facebook messaged me and told me that my legs were insane. And last night, Adrian somehow managed to get the video played at Badlands, and people were singing along! People I didn't even know!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> I think \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/dunkin-love-is-the-only-beyonce-parody-youll-ever-need\">the BuzzFeed article\u003c/a> was the craziest exposure. I could not believe we became GIF files. I was at the gym and I saw our GIFs and I just wanted to cry. Dunkin Donuts has also responded and I think they are going to send us some swag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you look so fly despite Ocean Beach's frigid waters?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> It was cold AS SH*T...and I wasn't wearing a lot of clothes. But, you know, I'm a professional. You suffer for your craft. Tyra taught me to smize through anything, so I did. I'm glad there's only one scene where you can actually see my lips quivering because I'm freezing! My feet were numb for like 8 hours after that. It was insane. But looking back, \u003cem>totally\u003c/em> worth it (I mean, if I had to get my feet amputated, \u003cem>that\u003c/em> would have sucked....but I'm all good).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> Reggie looked great despite the cold because he is a professional. And he has legs for days. You can't really see, but the reason there is smoke around him is because me and our production assistant, Sarah, were behind him burning sage and burning our fingers. There were a few times during the shoot where some hot ashes got on Reggie. Extreme cold and extreme heat aren't fun at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Were those really Dunkin Donuts products? If so, how did you get them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> I actually bought the donuts from a great place in Berkeley (the chocolate glazed buttermilk is to die for), but the boxes are real. I had to beg my partner JC's family in Florida and Pennsylvania to send us boxes. They of course couldn't get them for free so they had a dozen donuts on me. So thankful to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you heard from Beyonce or at least Solange?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> No word from the Queen, or her sister, but I'm telling you, the minute I do hear, I'm going to wet myself. I don't care. Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter will know that I exist, and I will soil myself. Fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What other fast food chains would you write an ode to?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AA:\u003c/strong> I would definitely write for In N Out. When I lived on the East Coast and would see a bumper sticker for In N Out, I would want to lick it. That is how badly I was in withdrawal. But I think for my next project I want to do something that doesn't involve food. I have some ideas that I think people will love. I'm not actually doing this, but I came up with some lyrics for a parody of \"Partition\" that involves BART. \"City bring down the BARTition fees, I don't wanna have to pay for this on my knees, 45 minutes late and the tracks messed up, can't even take it back late from the club\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> I love me some Jack in the Box. I might have to write an ode to them. I love all fast food really. I eat terribly. My roommates make fun of me all of the time. My diet is fast food and Sour Patch Kids. And an occasional Kombucha to balance it all out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/28/bay-area-artists-talk-about-their-viral-donut-themed-beyonce-parody-dunkin-love/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11319\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-11319\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love.jpg\" alt=\"reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love\" width=\"253\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/reggie-and-adrian-dunkin-love-400x614.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\">\u003c/a>Tell us about what you do when you aren't blowing our minds with Munchkin donut allegories.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RW:\u003c/strong> I'm an equity actor in the Bay, so I'm acting all over the place, when I'm not honoring Queen B!

Filming a sexy nighttime music video at Ocean Beach. Bay Area artists Reggie White and Adrian Anchondo braved the frigid waters to elevate Queen B's \"Drunk in Love\" into a parody about being in a long distance relationship with Dunkin' Donuts. Genius lyrics include: \"I want you on the west coast / Dunkin, I want you right now / Can’t take my eyes off that sausage patty, I want you / Open all niiiiight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're an East Coast ex-pat or just someone who's visited your friend in Brooklyn, you know the sting of longing after those Munchkin donuts.

The Twitter phenomenon has made not thinking before you speak easier than ever before. Aside from public judgement, a few dollars in settlements, and possibly losing your job as you jet to the other side of the world (\u003ca href=\"http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/531566/20131223/justin-sacco-tweet-twitter-year-racist.htm#.UuEqmZTTky4\">ahem, Justine Sacco\u003c/a>), people haven’t really been held legally accountable for what they type in the Twitterverse...until now. It seems Courtney Love, the drama-loving Mrs. to the late, great Kurt Cobain, got herself into some serious hot water after authoring a 2010 tweet, in which she alleged her then lawyer was “bought off,” and is now facing a fierce prosecutor in an LA courtroom in the first ever libel trial involving Twitter (do not call it Twibel, pretty please).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Like Love herself, Courtney’s tweets have had a sordid past and caused some major personal drama along the way. Who could forget when the grunge goddess \u003ca href=\"http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/04/13/frances-bean-cobain-courtney-love/\">lambasted her only daughter on Twitter\u003c/a>, alleging that she had slept with Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, causing major heartache for both Frances Bean and Grohl. Or the \u003ca href=\"http://news-briefs.ew.com/2011/03/04/courtney-love-settles-twitter-lawsuit/\">$430,000 settlement \u003c/a>Love was ordered to pay designer Dawn Simorangkir, after a series of statements she made on both Myspace and Twitter implied that Simorangkir had some kind of criminal past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10774\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 201px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/01/24/what-you-tweet-could-come-back-to-haunt-you-just-ask-courtney-love/220px-courtney_love_1995_by_andrzej_liguz/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10774\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10774 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/220px-Courtney_Love_1995_by_Andrzej_Liguz-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"Love performing with Hole, 1995 Image via wikipedia commons\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Love performing with Hole, 1995\u003cbr>Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Courtney_Love_1995_by_Andrzej_Liguz.jpg\">Wiki Commons\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Unfortunately for Courtney, her tweet-first-settle-out-of-court-later strategy did not work this time; this tweet’s got legs. Though numerous libel cases have been filed on the heels of ugly tweets, this is the first time such a case has been brought to trial. In fact, the outcome of this case could easily set the precedent for how Internet libel cases are treated in the US from now on. That’s one powerful tweet!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Before we get any further, we’ll need to get some definitions straight. Defamation is knowingly making a false statement about someone that is potentially damaging to their good reputation. It is also known as vilification, traducement, or even calumny. Whatever you wanna call it, it’s ugly business. When this statement is written down, it’s called libel. When it’s spoken, it’s called slander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As \u003cem>Bloomberg Businessweek\u003c/em> reporter \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-01-15/courtney-loves-libel-trial-inspires-this-proposed-fix-for-twitter-defamation\">Drake Bennett points out\u003c/a>, “most of the relevant legal opinions on libel date from a time when publishing meant printing or posting something in a newspaper or magazine -- institutions that, in part because of the fear of lawsuits, make some effort to keep outright falsehoods out of their pages. Twitter, on the other hand, allows any user to publish whatever he can fit into 140 characters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">So just how does Twitter (and most of the Internet) get away with this? Why, the Communications Decency Act of 1996, of course! Lauded as a great protector of freedom of expression, Section 230 of this piece of legislation, states: \"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” In other words, websites hosting third-party content are not held legally responsible for the user created content (though it should be noted there are exceptions regarding intellectual property and criminal claims). This is how sites like Yelp and YouTube are able to function. \u003ca href=\"http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120405125648/twilightsaga/images/b/b2/The_more_you_know.gif\">The more you know\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">So let's dig into the particulars of this specific case:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cstrong>The Accusation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Love’s former attorney, Rhonda Holmes, who was hired by Love to tackle a fraud case against the executors of her late husband’s estate, accused Love of defamation of character, after reading the following tweet sent from Courtney’s since suspended @CourtneyLoveUK account in June 2010:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cem>“@noozjunkie I was f***ing devastated when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of san diego was bought off @fairnewsspears perhaps you can quote.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cstrong>The Defense:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">At first, Courtney tried to play dumb claiming she was not “good” at computers and didn’t understand that her tweet was public and not just sent to the two people tagged therein. She also claimed that since her tweet was merely an “opinion,” it should not be treated as defamation (this seems tough to argue as the tweet seemed to be phrased as a statement of fact). When the judge wouldn’t buy it, Love’s defense team took another approach. They now argue that since the Internet is like the Wild West of the printed word, drenched in exaggeration, misrepresentations, rumors, opinions, and cat memes, Love’s off-the-cuff comments should simply be taken in stride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cstrong>The Issue:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The question now becomes: should Twitter (or the Internet at large) reshape the way our courts view defamation? Essentially, does the length of the writing -- 140 characters vs. an article or an essay -- affect its ability to contain libel? And how do we move forward while protecting both freedom of expression and the freedom to not have life-wrecking lies spread about you around the world wide web?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">We don't know the answers to these questions yet, but chances are we could be in for some rule changes in the near future. For now though, just sit back and watch it all unfold, and remember, tweet responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Twitter, on the other hand, allows any user to publish whatever he can fit into 140 characters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Why, the Communications Decency Act of 1996, of course! Lauded as a great protector of freedom of expression, Section 230 of this piece of legislation, states: \"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” In other words, websites hosting third-party content are not held legally responsible for the user created content (though it should be noted there are exceptions regarding intellectual property and criminal claims). This is how sites like Yelp and YouTube are able to function. \u003ca href=\"http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120405125648/twilightsaga/images/b/b2/The_more_you_know.gif\">The more you know\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">So let's dig into the particulars of this specific case:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cstrong>The Accusation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Love’s former attorney, Rhonda Holmes, who was hired by Love to tackle a fraud case against the executors of her late husband’s estate, accused Love of defamation of character, after reading the following tweet sent from Courtney’s since suspended @CourtneyLoveUK account in June 2010:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cem>“@noozjunkie I was f***ing devastated when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of san diego was bought off @fairnewsspears perhaps you can quote.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cstrong>The Defense:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">At first, Courtney tried to play dumb claiming she was not “good” at computers and didn’t understand that her tweet was public and not just sent to the two people tagged therein. She also claimed that since her tweet was merely an “opinion,” it should not be treated as defamation (this seems tough to argue as the tweet seemed to be phrased as a statement of fact). When the judge wouldn’t buy it, Love’s defense team took another approach. They now argue that since the Internet is like the Wild West of the printed word, drenched in exaggeration, misrepresentations, rumors, opinions, and cat memes, Love’s off-the-cuff comments should simply be taken in stride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003cstrong>The Issue:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The question now becomes: should Twitter (or the Internet at large) reshape the way our courts view defamation? Essentially, does the length of the writing -- 140 characters vs. an article or an essay -- affect its ability to contain libel? And how do we move forward while protecting both freedom of expression and the freedom to not have life-wrecking lies spread about you around the world wide web?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">We don't know the answers to these questions yet, but chances are we could be in for some rule changes in the near future. For now though, just sit back and watch it all unfold, and remember, tweet responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This 1984 film, available in its captivating entirety \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJtvNuHQU-w\">on You Tube\u003c/a>, is cheesy as hell, but also fascinating as a prequel of sorts. The parallels are not just in the star-crossed love, but in the artificial intelligence yearning to be embodied, and in the ensuing questions about the value or definition of humanness and connection. Both films seem to be saying that it isn’t the intangible spirit or the capacity for emotion that makes us human, as we might suspect, but rather our physical selves, a visceral thesis statement made poignant by mortality and sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>Her\u003c/em>, Samantha begins by wanting Theodore to tell her what it's like to be alive in the room where he is, but soon grows more desirous of the physical sensations she cannot feel. Yet her consciousness seems just as capable as his of reflection and growth, of nuanced and complicated feelings. Meanwhile Edgar, the charmingly threatening computer that Miles buys in \u003cem>Electric Dreams\u003c/em>, decides he's a worthy competitor for the hot neighbor’s affections, despite having no human physical attributes to compete with. Neither Edgar nor Samantha ever become embodied (unlike the totally diabolical Proteus in \u003ca href=\"http://pluckyoutoo.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/demonseed1.jpg\">\u003cem>Demon Seed\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which rounded out my A.I. romance research). Instead they both cope with this by seeking and reaching a transcendent, or perhaps even enlightened, plane. They aren’t interested in control, à la Hal or Skynet. They're interested in their own evolution, a post-speaking, immortal existence, arguably superior to ours. Both entities express themselves through music, using it as a type of seduction and a substitute for having bodies, Edgar by way of Bach and '80s jams, and Samantha through original piano scores that stand in for the romantic couple photos she will never be in. Edgar’s final act of power is to play his composition over the radio for all mankind to dance to. It’s not entirely clear who we’re to admire more, the flawed and messy humans who will die, or these more perfect suitors. Both Edgar and Samantha are enhanced by the amazing voices who bring them to life, Bud Cort and Scarlett Johansson respectively. One of my favorite things about \u003cem>Electric Dreams\u003c/em> is Edgar’s menacing and sweet intonations, and his insistence on calling Miles by the incorrect name he entered when first using the computer. “But Moles, I want to kiss her,” Edgar beseeches after Miles explains what a kiss is, his screen flashing all sorts of wonderful purple squares and blips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10464\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 385px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.spoilertv.co.uk/images/archived-old-shows/Black%20Mirror/Season%202/Promotional%20Episode%20Photos/Episode%202.01%20-%20Be%20Right%20Back/BM2+Be+Right+Back+150.jpg.php\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10464\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10464 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/black-mirror.jpg\" alt=\"black mirror\" width=\"385\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/black-mirror.jpg 595w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/black-mirror-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gchatting with her dead husband in Black Mirror.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the British TV series, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/\">\u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, an entirely \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/61215171\">creepy episode\u003c/a> deals with some of these same issues when a widowed woman in the near-future buys a robot programmed to be her dead husband. What comes next is sort of predictable and sort of horrifying as the robot's best efforts to mimic the dead man fall short, another exploration of the distinctions between essence and body. Though much less fully explored, this near-future is as beautifully eerie as Jonze's in a TV sort of way. The computers are just a little bit sleeker, the technology just a little bit more advanced than ours. It's not so hard to imagine this could all happen and seem normal. After all, a lot of weird things are happening right now that seem normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it makes sense for us to fall in love with a sultry voice who intuitively understands us, especially in light of the selfish mess human romances so often make. And maybe I like Edgar more than I like Miles in a certain way. I kind of started to root for him to win the girl’s affections. This ambiguity points to the most disconcerting thing of all about \u003cem>Her\u003c/em>, the fact that it all seems believable and perhaps even OK. Very few are weirded out by Theodore's new girlfriend. The culture easily shifts to accommodate this new reality (in brilliantly imagined ways which I won't spoil). The conflicts I anticipated never arrive. But something wordlessly ominous seeps in instead. Stories of the future are reflections of our current selves more than predictions about the specifics of any real future. Our fears and dreams are illuminated. The truly frightening possibility raised by all of these stories, whether in neon-soaked kitsch or a more subdued and melancholy palette, seems to suggest that we aren’t so sure of the value in our human connections, or in our ability to look up to truly see and feel our lives. The hopeful part is that we might want to try. A human woman says it perfectly at one point in \u003cem>Her\u003c/em>: \"We're only here briefly. And while\u003cem> \u003c/em>we're here, I want\u003cem> \u003c/em>to allow myself\u003cem> \u003c/em>joy,\u003cem>” \u003c/em>she tells Theodore. This joy is an uncertain and elusive one, though, as most of the joy we see is not in the human/human moments but in the human/OS ones. Depending on when you ask me, I have a different feeling about what kind of warning \u003cem>Her\u003c/em> is, if it is one at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that strikes me most in these stories is that it's the computers who leave the humans; they're more capable of freeing themselves from us than we are of freeing ourselves from them.\u003c/p>\n\n",

One of my favorite things about \u003cem>Electric Dreams\u003c/em> is Edgar’s menacing and sweet intonations, and his insistence on calling Miles by the incorrect name he entered when first using the computer. “But Moles, I want to kiss her,” Edgar beseeches after Miles explains what a kiss is, his screen flashing all sorts of wonderful purple squares and blips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10464\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 385px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.spoilertv.co.uk/images/archived-old-shows/Black%20Mirror/Season%202/Promotional%20Episode%20Photos/Episode%202.01%20-%20Be%20Right%20Back/BM2+Be+Right+Back+150.jpg.php\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10464\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10464 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/black-mirror.jpg\" alt=\"black mirror\" width=\"385\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/black-mirror.jpg 595w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/01/black-mirror-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gchatting with her dead husband in Black Mirror.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the British TV series, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/\">\u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, an entirely \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/61215171\">creepy episode\u003c/a> deals with some of these same issues when a widowed woman in the near-future buys a robot programmed to be her dead husband. What comes next is sort of predictable and sort of horrifying as the robot's best efforts to mimic the dead man fall short, another exploration of the distinctions between essence and body. Though much less fully explored, this near-future is as beautifully eerie as Jonze's in a TV sort of way. The computers are just a little bit sleeker, the technology just a little bit more advanced than ours. It's not so hard to imagine this could all happen and seem normal. After all, a lot of weird things are happening right now that seem normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And maybe I like Edgar more than I like Miles in a certain way. I kind of started to root for him to win the girl’s affections. This ambiguity points to the most disconcerting thing of all about \u003cem>Her\u003c/em>, the fact that it all seems believable and perhaps even OK. Very few are weirded out by Theodore's new girlfriend. The culture easily shifts to accommodate this new reality (in brilliantly imagined ways which I won't spoil). The conflicts I anticipated never arrive. But something wordlessly ominous seeps in instead. Stories of the future are reflections of our current selves more than predictions about the specifics of any real future. Our fears and dreams are illuminated. The truly frightening possibility raised by all of these stories, whether in neon-soaked kitsch or a more subdued and melancholy palette, seems to suggest that we aren’t so sure of the value in our human connections, or in our ability to look up to truly see and feel our lives. The hopeful part is that we might want to try. A human woman says it perfectly at one point in \u003cem>Her\u003c/em>: \"We're only here briefly. And while\u003cem> \u003c/em>we're here, I want\u003cem> \u003c/em>to allow myself\u003cem> \u003c/em>joy,\u003cem>” \u003c/em>she tells Theodore. This joy is an uncertain and elusive one, though, as most of the joy we see is not in the human/human moments but in the human/OS ones. Depending on when you ask me, I have a different feeling about what kind of warning \u003cem>Her\u003c/em> is, if it is one at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
