"Discontent is currently unavailable"

Oh, this is brilliant.

The videos aren't accessible from here and the way NBC handles that is they have one of those clear, clinically emotionless synthetic voices announce "this content is currently unavailable". Only, it sounds a lot like "Discontent is currently unavailable", for a total effect that's weird, dystopian and incredibly fitting for droning propaganda from the loudspeakers of a somewhat futuristic totalitarian state. Unintentional, I'm sure, but hilariously fitting as a backdrop.

Thankfully I think the dispassionate lady computer is mistaken. There seems to be plenty of discontent available, now that many people are starting to see what's going on, and in no small part thanks to Edward Snowden.
