I find this whole discussion fascinating. First, I would like to point out that my original reaction was to the statement "This is why you have an obesity problem, America.". I highly doubt that it is just because of a drive-through ATMs and I find that statement too flippant. I am in Canada, and I think we have an obesity problem, too, just probably not as bad as the folks down south. I think the core problem is diet and exercise.

Second, and again speaking only for Edmonton, Alberta, there aren't hundreds of these things around. I know of 2 drive-through ATMs in the whole south-west area of the city, and they are specifically at the large bank branches. They exist, there just aren't everywhere. The only people probably using them are folks that bank at that bank.

Third, as charliem mentioned, we also have hundreds of these mini-ATMs around everywhere. They are very convenient, but they come with a $1-3 transaction fee on top. Most of my transactions are with credit/debit cards, so cash is pretty rare. When I need it, I don't feel like handing out extra monies to 3rd parties. If I need some cash I will probably go to the bank near my house that has this drive-through. I doubt parking my car and going inside to the ATM will help me lose weight

We dont have them in Australia.
ATM's are conveniently placed around shopping centres, or the bank, or in a bar, or failing that...most places that do EFTPOS allow you to withdraw cash with purchase.

Drive through ATM's have no place here.

Every two minutes you idle your car, you use around a kilometre of gas. As most people are within about a 1/2 km of their bank, using a drive through ATM ultimately doubles their round trip.

This is new to you? We have them in Canada, too and they have been around for about 15 years. Pretty nice when it is -20 out and it allows you to get to your destination more efficiently. How do you think people got to an ATM otherwise? Do you think if it wasn't a drive through that they would have walked to the bank?

....drive through ATM? What laziness was this invention borne of?
This is why you have an obesity problem, America.

What he forgot was that his PIN number is the last 4 digits of his VIN number. He'll tie up the ATM machine all day!


(that shit drives me crazy).

I have noticed a few things, I THINK they haven't been mentioned here yet:

I don't see if/when a video is 'killed'. Meaning, this is a dupe of my video:

http://videosift.com/video/Kid-Looks-at-Boobs?noredirect

It got dupeof'd, so it redirects. But the dupe does not look 'killed' - and now of course I have already forgotten, how you could see if a video was killed in previous VS. There was a tag or something? Looking at my discarded and killed own videos, I see no flags,tags or anything.. mebbe I am too tired atm..

Also with dead videos.. the only indication seems to be 'fix the embed' link.

Anyway, with the dupe: the votes have been transerred, but I still see all the voters of the dupe. However, I do not see any comments on the dupe. I guess now 'comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.' is true.

And, I chose the dark background. However, I get flipped between light and dark when I click on different things. It flips to light when I click on my profile, or my unsifted queue. Or sifted.. Turns back to dark when I click to frontpage etc.

Btw, where is the dead pool? So far I haven't been able to find it

And one more thing: I cannot seem to pinch and zoom/stretch with any mobile device any more.

Sorry if these bugs have been mentioned, or if I am crazy and imagining things!

In general, awesome job! Thanks a bunch @dag and @lucky760!

EDIT: Oh, I see the 'Killed' and 'Discarded' tags now. Either you fixed that real fast, or I am more awake today!

I, I, I
I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
I, I, I
I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Need your protection

I'm a ninja, yo
My life is like a videogame
I maintain when I'm in the zone
One player one life on the mic
I'm in the dark

Yo, ninja, go

No fuckin around I'm cutting down
Anyone in my path
Tryna fuck up my game with razor sharp
Lyrical throw stars
Killin' my foes like

Hos! Ska!

Wild, outta control

Ninja skop befokte rof taal
Rough rhymes, tough times
Met fokkol kos, skraal
Till I hit triple seven at the ATM
Straight famine or feast,
When you're living on the razor edge
Stay sharp, sharp

Rolling with the $O$
High energy
Never seen zef so fresh
Uh, when we mic check
Hi-def flow's flex
Yo we aren't the messed up
Not fucking the best
We not like the rest
My style is UFO
Totally unknown
You can't fuck with my new Zef flow
I'm hard to miss
"You can't do this, you can't do that"
Yo, fuckin' who said so?
I do what I like
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
You can't fuck with the chosen one
I-I-I want the knife
I'm a Ninja

Hook x2

Ninja is poes cool
But don't fuck with my game
Boy or I'll poes you
Life is tough
When I get stuck
When my time is up
I push through
Till I break-break-break
on through to the other side
Fantastically poor with patience like a stalker

Ninja is hardcore
Been cut so deep, feel no pain
It's not sore
Don't ask for kak or
You'll get what you ask for
I'm like a wild animal in the corner
Waiting for the break of dawn
Trying to get through the night
Just a man with the will to survive

My blade swing free
Decapitate a hater with amazing ease
This is not a game, boy
Don't play with me
I work my light sabre like a wild fucking savage
from the dark side danger

Yin to the yang
Totally Hi-Tek Ninjas
Motherfucking big in Japan
I seen the future, but I never got nothing in my hand
Except a microphone, big dreams and a plan
Fly-talking, sky-walking
Like a ninja

Hook x2

Fuck, this is like
The coolest song I ever heard in my whole life
Fuck all of you who said I wouldn't make it
Who said I was a loser
They said I was a no-one
They said I was a fuckin' psycho
But look at me now:
All up on the interweb
