"Stay away from street RPS"

the International Rock Paper Scissors World Championships Site has had this clip up for awhile. Its supposedly from the dvd Playing RPS to Win: Secrets of the Masters. The site doesn't refer to the dvd as "upcoming" anymore but gives no information about how to obtain one. I don't know what the deal is - I just know I want one really bad. This clip is maybe one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. If it's all a joke then its brilliant.

It's not a joke though, as far as I can tell, but until I meet a hardcore RPS enthusiast in person there will always be part of me that questions whether this is all some grand hoax or not. Either way, it's fascinating.

There's also a film that's supposed to see release in "Summer 2005". I have hunch it might not make that window. There's a site and a trailer.

And you might as well take a look at the site for the World RPS Society or the Rollingstone news story on these nuts. Here's hoping they they picket for Olympic recognition soon.
