Laughing academy's chuckles, chortles and guffaws pay off with freetalk time on Skype

By My status Howard Wolinsky on September 3, 2008 in .

Nick Wright updates this summer's Skype laughing campaign on the main blog.

He said:

"Since the launch on July 1st, the video has been seen by almost 6 million people worldwide around the internet but what has really rocked our world is that almost 7,000 of you left a video response in our player. A big thank you to everyone who participated :-). Out of all those, we've added about 450 great laughs to our chain, which now comes in at around one hour and fifteen minutes. To give you a little taster, here's a short hilarious preview of the full chain:"

He said Skype is thanking participants in the laughing academy with some free time:

"We thought the least we could do would be to say thanks to all those that contributed to the chain by offering them Skype credit for 5 hours free calls to landlines and mobiles on Skype. So, if you find yourself appear in the chain (up until August 31st), please send an e-mail to hahaha@skypelaughterchain.com, including your name, Skype ID, the country you currently live in and 2 pictures of yourself so we can identify you in the chain. Please get back to us by September 30th to claim your voucher."

Breaking news from Europe… The messages and the contacts were most numerous that j' had in these last days in the reference to the facts relative to l' exit of the skypecast. With how much it seems that the thing has the deep roots, the d' category; Amatori of two intruders m' writing in fact, and the webcam with l' call one of both it showed masks j' and the layouts, this operation of marketing left with the change the property the skype platform; the date begins that makes of it that the following facts occurred: 1) opening d' Esponenziale of the manifest cast iron offensives in the languages and the images; the 2) strange personalities which circulated themselves for the cast iron with the names d' irripetibili which inside and then was put well in the occupied sight as of qu' they came makes to go up if all it were well they were carried out vocalizes. With how much it seems, less than the breather and the lashing of the answer with l' IP they are the puttinges all' ; unexpected to make the whims, these all or left directly the skype. in d' other terms the new property HAS INSTRUMENTALIZED IN the USA so that US to want were the SAME (we think ourselves for orders) CAST IRON WITH the PAYMENT. J' awoke produced facts a European legislator (does not make l' importation of this political alignment if fine is exact for it) which studies the thing with its swimming pool, it is with l' study a LEGAL OPERATION CLOSE to the EUROPEAN COURT for the aforementioned handling, contornata of the multiple - not-Nor jusqu' with all' ; official announcement given in these method in Europe. It is worth the pain with there is remember to that the EU law are varied concerning these Americans, to which the skype of country put in reference now. In Europe in fact THEY ARE PROHIBITED: 1) misleading publicity; 2) the subliminali of publicity; 3) any action of commercial law qu' they thus organized without assent of the competent authorities. We will see in next days because it will finish, if the skype it were forced to pay an end strong or to completely enclose the thing it n' would not astonish with me. Much j' had, linked you with my more beloveds of hello. Alfonso

Last modernizations… They were very many messages and the contacts that j' had in those of the last days in reference to the facts relating to the closing of the skypecast. With which it seems the thing has deep roots, two Hacker category Amatori m' write indeed, and in videoconferenza on request one for two mo' showed masks and layouts, this operation of marketing left with the exchange property the platform skype; it is to be left this data qu' indeed; they occurred the made following: 1) Opening esponenziale cast proclamation d' offensives in the languages and the images; 2) Strange characters who s' wandered for the cast with names irripetibili which were put well in sight in awaited and then hardly they were made salt if all were well ruttavano. It seems, unless sniffer and ping of answered with IP they put all' ; j' improvise to make the whims, who all left directly skype. in other words the new property INSTRUMENTED US so that we were SAME to want (we think for controls) the CAST with PAYMENT. J' sensitized arrived facts a Legislator European (n' do not import which déploiment political if fine is right for it) which studies the thing with its pool, it is with l' study a LEGAL OPERATION Close to the EUROPEAN COURT for dictates handling, contornata the various ones - not fine all' ; official announcement given in these methods in Europe. It is worth sorrow to remember to all that the EU law are different compared to those American, to which Country skype refers now. In Europe THEY ARE DEFENDED: 1) Publicities misleading; 2) Publicities subliminal; 3) N' import which commercial action thus organized without the supervision and l' possible censure of the Competent Authorities of I control. In our caso l' ; assumption is, beyond that of disconcerting, true interactive handling. We will see in the days which follow as it will finish, if skype it were forced to pay a strong fine or to even close the thing it m' would not astonish. Much I owed you, uniement with my dearer safeties. Alfonso
