Comments have f/a (fuck all) to do with channel designation.

Why have you done that? This is not clear cut suitable for kids, fucks sake. Sesame Street yes, little girls being mean to animals, really?


I find it educational for other kids to watch another childs learning factor in life. Through this action children watching will/might connect the dots between treating animals with respect.

I did not call it because it has a child in it, I surely do think its fit for kids to watch and learn, the focus to you might be the mistreatment of a barnyard animal but to me its a tool.

*discuss ! ( always wanted to do that !)

I don't think this is faked. I think this is a legitimate argument against for-profit interests moving in on public education. (As wonky as it may be.)

Mr Murdoch appeared as part of a two-day education forum sponsored by the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a group chaired by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. It champions school vouchers, charter schools, performance pay for teachers and digital learning.
‘We need to tear down an education system designed for the 19th century and replace it with one suited for the 21st,’ Mr Murdoch said during his morning address.

Does he mean to design a system for the wealthy to profit from?


The style of the protest was no doubt inspired by the satirical website, http://occupysesamestreet.org/

I do love me some Sofia Vergara


Oh hell yes, I remember her being stunning when I first saw her in Maxim ten years ago. She still is!

Don't forget Sesame Street

>Louie twice and the American version of The Office. Ricky's great but he's not as magical as some British people think when they talk about Television. You'd think the original Office is the second coming...Arrested Development is a definite contender to that.

I saw this at Hot Docs this spring. It's a great story, but I felt that the doc itself was just OK. Not nearly as much in the way of 'cool' footage that you'd expect to see.

To be fair, I expected it to live up to the brilliance of "The World According to Sesame Street" was a far far better behind-the-scenes + nostalgia doc.

Alas, I grew up in the pre-Elmo Sesame Street days so I never had the connection to the character the way kids today do. I definitely get it though: my godchildren are absolutely Elmo-crazy.

SO going to see this!

You know, someone has tried that excact clip, and only got 5 votes - http://videosift.com/video/Sesame-Street-Elmos-Song

Other Elmo ones have got as many as 135 votes - http://videosift.com/video/Elmo-Interviews-Ricky-Gervais

You'd be surprised what will do well here sometimes

Your two PQ'd on 9 videos would probably sift if you ran them through beggar's canyon on a Thursday or Friday (to get the weekend traffic), and then you would only need to post a handful more to get bronze (says the newbie to the long standing member!). If you renew your membership, a promote would be even better.

On re-reading your comment below, I'd like to clarify that I only ever meant to ban self promotion during an anonymous week contest, not in general, and it's certainly quicker to promote than to go out vote whoring the hard way.

Ahhh, that explains it, mine aren't old enough to like anything but "Elmo's song" yet. Doubt that would get many votes.

We might not quite be on the same page, but I think we're in the same chapter. I agree with everything you said here, except the part about changes being required to get there

I can confirm that children are no impediment to success here. In my case, I've had more success with ones my children like (or that I looked up for them) than the ones that I posted just because I liked them. They are usually only demanding until they're asleep

I'm quite surprised that BT and FA followed us here for this conversation too, even though I hang out in their corner of the sift. Perhaps they read the recent comment stream?
In reply to this comment by Truckchase:
Sounds good. At the end of the day I don't think video quality voting should be based on personal loyalty. You must have made quite an impression already to have a couple really great guys (BT, FA) on the sift upvoting your personal comment to some random dude.

If you're willing to take the time to make yourself an integral part of this community the perspective of favoring loyalty votes and disallowing self promotion will work well for you. On the other hand, I'm in favor of measures to empower those who don't devote much time to the site but enjoy it and the people just as much. (i.e. me; my kids are demanding) I would also argue that it would be healthier for the site and the community as a whole to welcome such measures since the attitude of person-to-person loyalty will endure regardless of the obstacles placed in front of it. The last thing I think you really want here is an echo chamber despite how appealing it may seem at face value.

I agree with that statement. Additionally, that bastard Elmo is riding Ricky Gervais' coattails.

Thank you...that was really fun....:)
