Mythbusters Turd Polishing - Full Clip

After seeing Hive13's post (http://www.videosift.com/video/You-can-t-polish-a-turd-actually-you-can), I decided I had to see the rest of the clip. For those like me, here is the entire turd-polishing clip from Mythbusters.

Not a dupe because this is the full clip.

This is insane... Do we really need two mythbusters poop clips? One is 3min, this one is 10min.

At 12/4 7:33pm I posted a link to the full version and suggested swapping out that embed.

12 hours later this was posted as a NEW submission.

Why can't we just improve the existing submissions without all this B.S. bloat. Dude, if you got a better embed, then send a link to the original submitter.

"Not a dupe because this is the full clip." lol.. Not technically, but still pretty lame.

At any rate, it will only be a week or three before Discovery has all these pulled from YT for DMCA violations.

You already answered your own question, so why this? Maybe it is lame, but what's even lamer is this * discuss. There's already ample precedent for significantly longer clips not being considered dupes. The original was three minutes, and this one is ten minutes. That's seven minutes longer. That's over 300%+ the original length. That's good enough for me, and it has withstood the smell test for dupitude for similar cases.

Case closed. *return.

Screw off with your one man decisions. You seems to always assume you own this place. Why not let anyone else add to discussion. You do 90% of returns.

The point is that the original submission should have just been editted as I suggested. I think original poster probably would have. We should DELETE one of them though.

There is ample precedent of longer, more complete videos being used and discarding the shorter subset videos.

I'll chime in too. We've set the precedent that if one video is long and the other is not, they are allowed. So unless they are very close to each other, I think they should be allowed to stay both of them.

If the two sifters could settle it - out of court - and just kill one, that would certainly work too.

You do 90% of the discusses these days, so screw off with your one-man decisions. YOU seem to think you own this place, with constant acts of douchebaggery like this, and discarding multiple sift talk posts. Don't act like you're a champion for justice.

As far as long versus short, we've done it both ways in the past here. Just because YOU think this should be deleted doesn't make it right.

Fine. I'll ask an admin what's right. I'll abide by his decision with no complaint if he favors you. Can you do the same thing if he takes my side? Quit being such a WATB.

It's one thing where there is a 30 second clip and then the whole video.

These two are essentially the same video, one with more detail. I just don't see the need for both videos. I always thought longer videos take over when the shorter video is not just highlight, edits, or something. *return

This is all a bit fuzzy to me, but I believe this isn't a dupe. If the shorter video was posted subsequent to this one, it'd be a clear cut case, but in a situation like this, I think precedent dictates that both vids should remain. I guess. (How's that for decisiveness?)
