HBO's multicamera Imagine engine will blow your mind out of its skull

HBO Imagine
Television has been trying to cram 3D technology into our eye sockets ever since it realized that offering some kind of gimmick with their product could distract some audiences from the fact that it sucks. 3D TV will only impress three groups of people: children, heavy LSD users who are out of LSD, and the people who helped bring it to a Best Buy near you.

The site still doesn't charge a fee to watch videos and it still doesn't accept advertising, but everyone is vying for a piece of the action and is wondering what they can do with it. The site was undoubtedly helped (helped is putting it mildy, actually) by the uploading of the "Lazy Sunday" video from Saturday Night Live.
