![]() ![]() this need not be used only for a HAL/SAL 9000. If you want 100%, have at it.Įveryone, feel free to add the conversation herein and build on the design. For me, it doesn't need to be 100% perfect as long as it catches the essence. My personal goal it to create a very good imitation. Hopefully someone here can help with that. I wanted the lens to be glass and preferrably, when complete, imitated the lens elements as well as the multi-coated coloring of a real lens. In doing so, I came across LED projector lens (used in cars and projectors I believe). Given that the original lens is very expensive and that alternatives come and go, I decided to see what I could find that allowed creating a good looking, inexpensive lens (eye) from components. The original HAL 9000 eye was a Nikkor fish-eye lens and in my world, a fish-eye lens is characterized by the "bulbous" protrusion. Despite the takedown, numerous remix videos featuring Oprah's mention of "9000 penises" surfaced on YouTube.The HAL 9000's most defining visual characteristic is the eye. ‘ He doesn’t forgive, he doesn’t forget, his group has over 9,000 penises, and they’re all raping children.’ So, I want you to know, they’re organized, and they have systematic ways of hurting children, and they use the Internet to do it.”Ī video clip of Oprah's message to her audience was promptly uploaded to YouTube, however it was quickly removed due to a copyright claim by Harpo, Inc. “Let me read you something from our message boards about someone who claims to be from a known pedophile network. The phrase "over 9000" once again resurged in September 2008, when an anonymous troll left an alarming message on the official message board of American journalist and businesswoman Oprah Winfrey's talk show, in which he claimed to represent an organized network of over "9,000 pedophiles." Oprah took the bait and read the post before her audience in an episode of the show, which was met by ecstatic responses from the Anonymous community praising the prank as an epic win. My friend Patrick posted it on /b/ and then I ended up having like 20,000 views the next day.Then Scott from VGcats front page linked my video and I woke up to 200,000 views. Really it was just a small little something I made as an inside joke for my friends. K: I had no idea it was going to get this big. J: When you made the Dragon Ball cutup, did you have any idea it would go on to become such a huge phenomenon over the Internet? Or was it just something that you made for a small group of friends? In April 2008, Kajetokun was interviewed by Cybernetic Tigerz of Japanator, in which he explained that he had not expected the video to become so popular and that he had originally edited it as an inside joke for his friends. The meme's notoriety reached its first peak in 2007, when 4chan moderators implemented a word filter that would turn any mentions of the number 7 into "over 9000." In addition to its conversational usage, the original scene from Dragon Ball Z has been also revamped into a four-pane exploitable comic: The phrase continued to take hold on YTMND and 4chan, where the number 9000 soon became adapted as a slang term to describe something or someone of impressive strength. "It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!" (Over 9000) "Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power?" The first Urban Dictionary entry for "over 9000" was submitted on November 21st, 2006, defined as: What the scouter says about Goku's power level. In the following weeks of October 2006, YouTuber Kajetokun's video quickly drew attention from the fans of Dragon Ball, inspiring a series of remix videos on YouTube, various image macros and demotivational posters on 4chan, as well as parody sites dedicated to the phrase on YTMND. SpreadĪccording to Kajetokun, the video was originally shared with his friends as an inside joke, but it was posted to 4chan's /b/ (random) board by his friend Patrick shortly thereafter. It is interesting to note that Goku's power level is actually read as "over 8000" in the original Japanese and English-translated mangas as well as the original Japanese anime series. According to the Japanese manga publisher V-Jump, the overall highest power level is 2,500,000,000 of Super Saiyan Gogeta. The highest power level ever mentioned in Dragon Ball Z is Frieza's power level of 530,000, said by Frieza himself while battling Nail. According to Dragonball Wikia, the highest number ever officially read aloud from a scouter is Captain Ginyu's reading of Goku's power level, which after powering up, is 180,000. In the Dragon Ball franchise, the Power Level is a recurring concept which denotes the combat strength of a warrior. ![]()
