Is anyone else annoyed with BuzzFeed's video version?

yup, dead, just watched the buzzfeed version with the weird doubled audio.

That really is an absolutely fucking terrible idea.

"Here I have a great collection of wonderful stories"


"Let me destroy them so I can take a tiny bit of them and paste them onto a cardboard box that I'll probably throw out in a few months"

I hope one pops up with an embed, Buzzfeed just put up their copy of it:

Thank you so much for your help!

Is this the original video?

In reply to this comment by seltar:
That is absolutely correct :

#2 was a spoofed ad with the Silk logo, sapia coloring, timeshift, different music, and some text.
#1 is the original source used for the spoof video.

#2 was dead at the time, so they just assumed, based on the thumbnail or not seeing the other video.

Thank you so much for your help! :

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
So, this video should be restored because it's correct:
#1 - http://videosift.com/video/Milk-in-her-face?noredirect

And this video should be *dead because the actual embed is unavailable and it was incorrectly given the above video's embed:
#2 - http://videosift.com/video/Strangely-erotic-milk-ad

Is all that correct? Let me know and if so, I'll undo the dupeof on #1 and I'll make dead #2.

Also, was #2 very obviously a different video than #1? In other words, was it an egregious and obvious error that those two members falsely agreed it was a dupe? Or was #2 just dead at the time, so they were just guessing it was a dupe?


In reply to this comment by seltar:
This might be the wrong place to ask this, but how can I undupe a video?

http://videosift.com/video/Strangely-erotic-milk-ad

That link was to a spoof ad, whilst the version that was wrongly duped was the original source.
The original source was all I could find after the spoof ad died, and it was quite different to the spoof ad - different music and no text, overlays, logos or branding.
So I decided to sift it separately, hoping that one day the spoof ad would resurface.

Is this something that should be handled in a Sift talk, or what?

Thanks for you input.

Am I surprised that someone reached for the mouse to downvote MY comment while ignoring THIS?

Stukafox: There's only two kinds of Republicans: Corporate tools and complete psychopaths.


Actually, I agree with you. That's not particularly helpful.

That said, in most democracies, there a few large parties that while they broadly represent the left or the right are mostly centrist. They are typically the older parties and the ones most likely to form a government. There will be a few more minor parties who are further from the centre, but in general the government is decided by a swing to the left or the right in the electorate.

The USA of late has seen such a swing to the right that Obama is viewed as a socialist, when in world terms, he's actually centre-right. Meanwhile, the republicans have moved to the lunatic fringe of the far right.

I don't believe that most of the ordinary republican citizens are raving idiots (there are, of course, exceptions), but they are being lead along by an extreme ideology that is seen as genuinely insane by most of the developed world, to the point where the people they have most in common with are the very people they claim to oppose the most.

So while I don't think calling them "Corporate tools and complete psychopaths" is useful to the debate, I can understand the desire to.
