In today's episode of Boing Boing tv:
An all-knowing "Life Booth" controls humans and their thoughts, in this animated short by twentysomething French animators Loic Tari and Samantha Duris. In Le Programme du Jour, we follow a pre-programmed day in the life of asymmetrically-faced citizen B42-347, who "follows the rules of the Life Booth" until life takes an unexpected twist.
