Just saw the ST promote. Thanks.

I'm in the process of adding it to the invocation list above the comment form.

Now we just need to see a blog get it.

Hmm. The official typeset as defined by the band for their name and the title of this particular song are all capital letters, and I'm a little OCD about music titles like that, but mabye putting the song title in a more normal format might attract votes.

Change title to lowercase and maybe say Japanese Music Video and you'll probably get more upvotes.

You're not getting it Joe, we are talking about internalized and institutionalized racism, not intentional racism. Go ahead and look those terms up.

I'm not sure if the 'Joe Dirt' thing is a character like BillOReilly, so perhaps you are putting me on, but the thought crime canard was already put to bed in another thread - http://www.videosift.com/video/Devout-Christians-beware-Teh-GAYZ-are-coming-to-your-town#comment-293179) -if you care to read it.

Here's the short version:
You are entitled to whatever racist thoughts you like in your own head. That is not a crime. But, once you commit an actual crime with the intent to terrorize a particular group, you've entered the realm of hate crime. Actions aren't thoughts, Joe.

Capiche?

This is the definition of a "concern troll". You sound really dumb citing the "C" in NAACP is somehow racism. So is the Holocaust museum then. Also, I love how much of the world is moving quickly to thoughtcrimes. Facial recognition is being used by airports to give you the special treatment. It literally won't be long before highschools have special facial recogition / lie detectors to counsel bullies and racism in students.

Can we just start with railing against racist actions and ignore thought crimes and "gee my introspection tells me a harbor racist and homophobic thoughts". Let's keep it to actions and words, like those of the author. (before some idiot tells me words are thoughts. No, your diary that no one reads is thoughts. Things you publish in emails and on the internets are actions).

FYI, the Benazir Bhutto clip is from Channel 4's News department, and whilst it is a British media corp, its nothing to do with the BBC. BBC4 is something else, a different channel of the BBC corp.

You are a wealth of knowledge regarding the Internet. Is this what you do for a living? I always appreciate your input even though I don't understand all of it. Thanks.

Here's a tip.

I recommend using OpenDNS to circumvent your ISP. One, they are faster, two they have much better caches, three they don't block sites at random.

https://www.opendns.com/start
Our nameservers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

It's free, just make sure your ping/tracert is pretty low to get to their servers.

Anyone have a problem with Dove (Unilever?) spending millions on hypocritical ad campaign.. Wherein they expose the viewer to the same subliminal visual raping they plan to expose your children to.
