オーストラリア・キャンベラの女性市長によると、
「売春を違法にしたところで、貧しい人達がいる限り売春は無くならない」
「モラルを押し付けておきながら、福祉を充実させずに貧しい生活を甘受せよというのは金持ちの身勝手である」
「合法化したことで、売春に従事する女性達は社会保障を受けることができ、また賃金を不当に踏み倒されることもなくなり、また衛生管理も向上する」

今、ふと「オバタリアン」という懐かしい単語が頭に浮かんだんだけど、この言葉が流行った当時年上の女性を「オバタリアン」呼ばわりしてた20代女性が、今自分達を「40代女子」とか「大人かわいい」とか「美魔女」とか言ってんのかと思ったらちょっと笑えてきたw
”Guns replaced by a thumbs-up by Thumbs & Ammo
Ideal life.
Did you know that in some countries* giving the thumbs up means “UP YOURS!” in their culture?
*Australia, for example. ;)

Im finally releasing this film online. Please share it liberally!
Some background info for anyone interested:
RGB XYZ was my first short film. I started it back in 2004 and finished it in 2007 between other stuff. I released parts of it online under the (stupid) name Chuck C. Clint III. A few people might remember that Cartoon Brew covered it back then. A friend entered it to the Berlin Film Festival on my behalf so I took it offline as per the rules. It premiered there in 2008 and won a special mention. This was the first time I had a film in a festival and my mind was blown. Most festivals rejected it but it went on to win around 5 other awards.
Even though parts (all) of this are hard to watch, it was a huge learning experience for me. I established a lot of things that I developed later on, like realtime rendering, mixing ortho & perspective, playing with subtitles, and more broadly trying to bring emotion out of as few polygons as possible. There was an extremely short-run home made DVD of it which is out in the wild.
