Edward Snowden has appeared on some rather large television screens lately, first at SXSW, then at some conference in Germany, and lately on some giant TV screens out in public.
Has anyone else noticed how ironic it is to see the guy who busted the giant domestic surveillance system appear on giant TV screens like Big Brother in the Apple Macintosh 1984 ad?
Here's Edward Snowden on the big screen:

(You know, had Big Brother used a projector and a screen rather than a giant CRT television set, that woman throwing the sledgehammer wouldn't have been able to do so much damage. Just some advice for future tyrants.)
