I've been using it for a while, of course my membership is about as old as 3.0, too so I don't know. Either way, that along with Unicorn planet need to stop being sifted.

Hey, cool, good job getting this search all lined up, I wasn't aware we could search discarded vids now, must be a 3.0 thing.

Hooray for attempt number eleven!

no nothing personal, i just was surprised by the reaction, i mean the strong negative reaction to somebody making fun of religious extremists... i thought that was perfect for the Sift. Pat Condell gets in the top 15 with hatespeech... oh well.

MINK, don't take it personal, I just had to be consequent (considering my downvotes on previous posts of the video), well, that's what I try most of the times..
hmm almost 600 views by now..this controversial post sure is a popular one..

In reply to this comment by MINK:
Ahhh Eklek, thou dost betray me.

This is so weird, when i consider the other stuff on here that people don't find so inappropriate... like Life of Brian or Bill Maher.

Here's a comedian making fun of religious extremists and it won't get out of the queue. Weird, huh?

upvote for Jeff Dunham's daring. And he's a very good ventriloquist.

maybe, maybe not... its debatable really and very dependent upon a person's perspective, which is why I didn't go all crazy all over it and demand it be removed... I just personally, do not find it funny, and, as your tags point out, very much in bad taste, so am withholding my usual 'hey-thanks-for-submitting-this-to-my-channel-vote'.

thanks for the comment anyway. i am not surprised it has been discarded before.

but is it a british humour thing maybe? i was surprised at the reaction from the audience, was it a family show or something? i think everything's fair game if you put some creativity into it. he didn't appear to be using the puppet as a proxy for his own racism, it's more like showing how stupid racism is and what it leads to.

am i being too soft about this?

It died twice before in the queue. Can you believe ant actually posted this???

The weird thing which kinda hit me about this video is that I don't know the Jeff Dunham guy- not from personality nor from comedy- then I ran over this achmed joke-thing.
There were some pretty borderline jokes in it for which you would deem a comedian either "talented" or "agressive"- then again there's such plain, stupid populism in it that it's just disturbing- I mean- if you have to run a terrorist puppet as a main thing to sell a theme to an audience on war comedy it's like back in the days when Donald was in the national party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2I7rlmefA8)- paired with ...?
I was just kind of interested of what the feedback would be - especially on the ...?

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

it's a non-embeddable vid, otherwise i'd post it, but if you look on google video for "Jeff Dunham" ... it will only pull one video, but it's a doozy... BU Tonight, Boston University's Late-night show... man it's funny, jeff rocks as always, but the host just looks so uncomfortable at first that it makes it that much more funny.

This guy has been around for a long time and has entertained MILLIONS. He's hilarious and a real nice guy. If you've never heard of him, his name is Jeff Dunham and he travels the states performing his above comedy. :-)
