I find it hard to believe that "Sharknado" and "Compelling" could be referring to the same thing.

The only thing that made Sharknado 1 compelling to me was when Mike/Bill/Kevin riffed it in the live show a couple weeks back. That was hilarious, and indeed compelling.

I agree that internet-controlled lighting is an interesting space and that this is one particularly novel and original use for it. Reminds me of my friends who had a MIDI controlled lighting rig for their live musical performances. It was cool.
