TIL a woman delivered three minutes of Patton Oswalt's 9-minute Parks and Rec Star Wars filibuster speech at a real Michigan city council meeting in 2019.
This week, a woman from Livingston County, Michigan, followed Oswalt’s lead and delivered a portion of his nine-minute filibuster during a Livingston County Board of Commissioners meeting.
Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.
How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.
No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.
