Throughout the video I was thinking about the Mona Lisa and (If I remember correctly) a Famous dada interpretation of it that added a mustache. And then he pulls out the Mona Lisa and changes it himself.
I agree with the concept he's trying to get across due a tiny bit in part to dadaism but mostly because artists are already changing their and other peoples art to make something better or a whole new thing. Simple examples could include song mashups and internet-abridging.
Also I don't quite get what he didn't like about the left-4-dead 2 boycott. Was it that it's members caved and invalidated the concept by doing so? Was it because Jim didn't like the original reason behind the movement? I thought there was some validation behind the reasoning for that, simple "it's coming out too soon" and no other argument aside.
