I don't get why I should care about anything happening in it.


I liked it because it wasn't about a single big baddie that we have to all gear up to meet at the end of the expansion like ALL the other expansions.

Yeah, it's an interesting concept, but the current version is next to useless.

* It takes 1 Megapixel photos
* That can only be viewed through special software
* And look pretty average at the best of times
* And only get interesting change of focus effects in fairly contrived situations

Bah and humbug.

Still, it's the first of its kind, the future of the tech is interesting.

Good thing your creed is a bunch of manmade humbug then, huh?

Nice of them to make a tribute, but Heaven? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Bah humbug. Everything on videosift is infringing on something. All music, all clips.

http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/knatw/brocas_aphasia_talking_without_words/ Hey faculty, go take down reddit and youtube instead of us and whatever the hell poeTV is.

DMCA doesn't apply, since videosift doesn't host. They can go to youtube and ask to have it removed.

As much as I appreciate your expert legal opinion, VideoSift could in fact be held liable for knowingly providing access to infringing content. Consider BitTorrent trackers who never see one byte of copyrighted content, but are still deemed responsible for infringement. Besides, I'm sure the folks behind VideoSift don't care to get involved in a legal battle.

Being a passionate regular of the religion channel since at least two years, I have to disagree about lies being rampantly invoked (perhaps before that, I don't know). The only time I've ever invoked it was for a series of videos which tried to pass off a skewed and fantastic (not in the good sense) version of history as history in a documentary format. When it's no longer "I/we believe this/that" but instead becomes "historically, this/that" with said "this/that" being a bunch of humbug, then I think it deserves the lies channel (as do all those crazy 9/11 truther videos, but I digress).


I think the point is if you have an opinion about a topic, even if it's the prevailing opinion, a video centering around that topic shouldn't be marked lies unless it fits with the channel's description:

"Any videos stating, showing or blowing the whistle on blatant falsehoods are welcome here. They can be anyone, politicians, television personalities, celebrities, etc." (Emphasis mine)

You're right EDD; I should have labeled my sarcastic remark as such.
I'm Manic-Depressive myself, so should know not to joke about a serious disease which plagues many people.


Fuck that, I'm a bipolar type 1 myself. does that mean i can't laugh ass off about it? and why should i not be able to do that? is all humbug. i laugh _with_ cripples, retards, asians, africans, europeans, americans, australians, _and_ normal people. try and stop me.

Hehe, it's gonna be great.

I have to disagree with you there, feminism and chauvinism only share three letters, but then again so does racism. I'm thinking of doing a Siftalk on "feminism" vs "equalism", inspired by your comment, but you'll have to wait till September to read it, got to much to do until then. And yes, I know you are simply dying to read/hear more about feminism.. *trollface*

Heh, I didn't see it there, only when bb @'ed me. I think it was making a stupid point, because what it sets up as feminism vs male-ism is not that. It's self-indulgent and essentially does exactly what the comic accuses others of doing. So bah humbug! Feminism is bullshit, so is chauvinism.

In reply to this comment by hpqp:
I see what you mean, but I hardly think the reference to this comic was particularly topical; it seemed more about having a laugh about the not-so-funny topic of sexism on the webs in general (stg which seems extremely rare on the Sift, one of it's many selling points). At least that's the reason I posted it to the femithread.

But you are right, the one shot is probably fake.
