If you only want videos for the masses then hang your hat at Reddit, or Digg, or Fark, etc. If you want videos for the masses AND videos with limited or niche appeal, then this is the place. Sometimes I think we have too many videos being imported from Reddit, Digg, and Fark. I believe it makes us less distinctive, however I'm only speaking for myself. Regardless of what kinds of videos any one member likes, it's all about people's tastes and the votes. People will post what they want, and people will vote for what they want. That's the basis of how this place works. Outside of porn or snuff anyone can post what they want, and we all have the right to upvote or downvote. You can't make people post more of what you'd like to see, nor can you compel them to vote one way or another.

It's as simple as that. Some members have left here because they stopped liking the video selection, but what are you going to do? Beg everyone to start posting more of what one or two members like?

Sometimes when the Top 15 looks like it was scraped from Reddit I leave for a little while, mostly out of boredom. But then I'll come back, usually because I feel like making fun of @rottenseed's tiny penis. So I guess the community is just as important to me as the videos. And dick jokes.

I liked the 'little dick' joke at the end.

Of course you can respond. I don't want a concession I haven't earned.

The failure of Circuit City (or any of the others on your list) has had no meaningful impact on reducing corporate abuse. Circuit City was replace by Best Buy, which treats its employees worse than its predecessor. So in this case, 'wallet democracy' has actually made things worse.

This is because "wallet democracy" isn't based on intelligence, wisdom, morality or any kind of desire for social justice, it's based on convenient location, ad campaigns, low prices and blue light specials. These out-of-whack priorities have no real chance at achieving anything positive, and usually end up doing the opposite, by empowering the worst offenders, like Wal*Mart. I've not shopped in a Wal*Mart in over a decade, but still they thrive, despite my furious wallet. I guess the people have spoken, and working class dignity is an inferior candidate to low low prices.

'State's Rights' is another favorite corporate think tank meme, for the simple and obvious reason that corporations would rather face small enemies than large ones. Corporations have vast resources that they can use to bribe desperate states, to pit states against each other, and to punish states that don't toe the line, among other things.

I don't see local politicians being any less susceptible to lobbying; or local voters being any less susceptible to expensive ad campaigns, in fact, small town folk might be more suceptible to the glitz and glamor of corporate favor than their seasoned national counterparts. A few of the larger metropolitan areas might be organized enough to make a stand, but I can't see it realistically living up to your expectations.

Beyond all that, do you ever use the local control you already have?

-Have you ever attended a city council meeting?
-Do you research your local candidates in any depth?
-Do you know the names of local politicians, state senators, state congressmen, local judges and/or city council members?

Anyway, I like the old Clinton quote that goes something like 'there is nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what is right with America'. For better or for worse, our country is 'our' country, and as long as it remains our country, we have the ability to change it. It's easy to feel down about our country, because we are getting our asses kicked by a very small, but wealthy and powerful segment of our population. If enough of us can figure this out, and are mad enough to do something about it, we win. It's a big if.

(hahaha, nice dick joke)

I love that the president called him a jackass in an interview. He's got my vote for the next decade

When I first saw this I thought it said 'Kenya insults Tailor Swift..'


It's funny the South Park episode about Kanye was on last night. The one with the Fishsticks/Fish Dicks joke he didn't get and he kept murdering people who thought they were calling him a gay fish because he's such a dumb ass and kept saying 'I am the voice of a generation.' Until at the end he admitted it.. he's a gay fish. So he jumped into the ocean and starts making out with various fish.

Funny ass episode and perfect for the current situation.

lowest common demoninator = the mass American public = BOX OFFICE HIT

I gotta agree with Westy.

This trailer is awesome (and got my upvote), but I'm afraid the film will just appeal to the lowest common denominator. Lotta dick jokes, and unrealistic circumstances.

Mike Tyson FTW!

All I got are dick jokes. I tell them at children's birthday parties all the time.

Okay, Kuga told me this one:

What starts with a C, ends with a T, and emits a thin whitish fluid?


...a coconut.

Hey KP, here's a question for ya:

What's long, brown and sticky?

Come on, MG. DICK JOKE! DICK JOKE! DICK JOKE!

You're welcome. And it's good to be back with my posse, which is everyone here. Except rottenseed.

Snoozedoctor told me this one:

Man's wife is in a coma in the ICU. Nothing has worked for her. The doc takes the husband aside and says, "we've tried everything. Nothing has worked. However, sometimes if you perform oral sex on them, they snap out of it. Are you willing to try it?"
The husband says, "of course, if you think it will help." So, he walks in and they draw the curtains to give them privacy. A minute or two later the EKG flat-lines. She codes and dies. The doctor says "I don't understand, what happened."
The guys says, "Well I'm no doctor, but I think she choked to death."


In reply to this comment by Kuga:
Thanks, kronosposeidon! Nice to have you back.

As for crude jokes, what starts with a C, ends with a T, and emits a thin whitish fluid?


...a coconut.


In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
Congratulations to both mintie and Kuga. It's always awesome when the ladies make rank here. Without them this place would degenerate into a joint with videos about dick jokes and farts. (No offense, blankfist.)

So...have you ladies heard about the man from Nantucket?

The true story of how gorgonheap lost his virginity can now be told.

BTW, belated congrats on going Gold 100. Sorry I missed the Sift Talk post; I was really busy there for a few days. Make sure you only * promote videos with dick jokes in them. They are the only ones that are worthy.

Dear VideoSift:

After watching this video I promptly upvoted it, wrote this comment, then took my own life. If it's possible for videos to get more depressing than this then I never want to view another video again.

To DFT: I leave my bio picture of Ron Jeremy. I know he's your hero.
To rottenseed: I leave my avatar, as yours sucks big hairy donkey balls.
To Issykitty: I leave my son's rats. He won't be able to properly care for them without me, so I'm sure you could give them a loving home.
To fjnbk: I leave my good looks, because your avatars are just one ugly motherfucker after another.
To kulpims: I leave this advice: Star Trek TNG has been off the air for over a decade. It's time to move on.
To dag: Advice for you too: Carnal relations with culinary utensils is illegal in many US jurisdictions, so don't come back to the States unless you have a good lawyer.
To Sarzy: Advice abounds: Lose the shades. Miami Vice has been off the air for almost 20 years. That oughta tell you something.
To my15minutes: I give you the few downvotes I've cast to add to your record. Quit being so nice.
To ant: I give you all the upvotes I've cast. You need to have a few upvotes for dick jokes on your resume.
To the rest: I ask that you remember me fondly. I just farted.

Good night, sweet Sift!

*promote

(I figure I owe you two * promotes as you tried valiantly to save this controversial video of mine twice. (May it rest in peace.) The second promote will come when you least expect it, but probably when you post a video that includes dick jokes. I like sophisticated humor.)

Don't forget that he was replaced by "Dick" Sargent. And what happens when you drop their first names and and combine the last names? You get Sargent York*. Coincidence? I think not.

*Stolen from "Wayne's World". There's not an original bone in my body.

Oh I've dropped a few comments here and there, but nothing of particular interest or amusement. Can't be funny all the time. Been wearing my serious cap as of late, watching heady programming on the 1sttube. Like "Bewitched". Why is Derwood such an asshole? He should've had Samantha kill Mr. Tate and Mrs. Kravitz on the first episode. Dumb fucking mortal.

I'll see you around. You can find me where dick jokes are being posted.

In reply to this comment by rottenseed:
Hey kronos! Haven't seen you on the top comments board in a few days which means one of two things: either you're really busy or you're dead. Hopefully it's the latter, but if not, happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
