Anonymous presents an array of opportunities for interesting scholorship. It is a cultural community, a political movement, a legal battleground, and more. It straddles between internet and “real world” existence. We need to study Anonymous… and to study hard.

Academics from cultural studies, media theory, and anthropology might seek to better understand what holds this unique community together. How have they appropriated anime and internet culture into the core of their identity and used it to unify their movement? How do neighbor communities like cosplay and video gaming cross pollinate with Anonymous? How does Anonymous connect with the earlier Internet vs. Scientology effort? What do we make of their obscure and offensive language?

A good cross-section and somewhat accurate look at the progression of what the whole Anonymous vs. CoS thing is all about, and how it came to be.

Who Needs Lily Allen

Interview With Fred and Sharon

The first one is about Lily Allen?? The second one gives a shoutout to Metafilter.

I’m thinking it’s totally fabricated and they are going to do a total low-tech production for people because it’s so funny and random and make lots of money making shitty videos. It’s like Swedeing things but worse.
