[voice / text] the introduction of one dr. owen harper
[The audio is, as it usually is, accidental.

The man speaking directly in front of the mic is significantly closer, so pay attention to that.]

[Yeaaah. His voice indicates that he thinks that ducks aren't cute at all. Mangy, oily things that you see hanging up in an Asian market, more like. There's a minute or so of him grumbling to himself, and then the audio cuts out in favor of a text entry:]

If this is the way people socialize nowadays, with viral blogs and all, I've got to say I'm impressed. Pretty sure it shouldn't have popped up on these particular computers.
