*discard

don't ask me how but this is a dupe of 2 videos....

http://www.videosift.com/video/Penalty-shot-stopped-10

thing is, this video has the exact same content as the other clip (I *thought* I had seen it here already, but was too tired to go searching... oh wait, it's the first related vid. zing).

anyway, this really *IS* a dupe (if it was the other way around, where the other vid is shorter than this one, then this one would be kosher). There are TWO saving graces which prevent me from discarding:

1. I have a personal bias in favour of google vids vs. youtube vids (IMHO superior quality controls, often video too).
2. In this case, the lack of the second half of the video is a positive - the laugh was annoying; the slow motion laugh was even MORE annoying. I made that comment ages ago in the second comment to the original post. http://www.videosift.com/video/Penalty-shot-stopped-10#21643

For the above reasons, I'm leaving this post alone - I'm doing the anal retentive measure of typing out my reasoning of course, because in my little Chronicler of the Sift mindset, this does set a small precedent for the Dupe Rules.

The first reason, for precedent standards, is of course completely irrelevant - that's just me doing the soapbox thing about my preference for Google Vids.
The second reason, though, is crucial, because it adds another exemption/clause to the "select shorter clips are acceptable" concept.

We've already accepted ultra-short cuts of very longer vids (think seconds of a minutes/hours long video). In this case, it's just a few seconds of a another vid that's mere seconds longer. BUT, it omits something that Sifters have generally agreed (in this case, in the original vids comments), is an Irritating or Low Quality flaw to the original vid.

So in the spirit of preserving the best vids, like a butcher choosing the best cuts of meat or whatever.

I noticed this is the same "kick" of this one http://www.videosift.com/video/Penalty-shot-stopped-10

but i really do hate the videos who replay in slow motion, especially if including audio, like that one.


if the other post is edited to embed this one and not the other, i'll discard this.

By the way, it was rumored Sylvester Stallone insisted that his character score the game-winning goal in the film, as he felt he was the biggest star. The non-American crew was finally able to convince him of the absurdity of the goalkeeper scoring the winning goal, and the penalty shot was specifically written to placate his ego.
Of course, who knew we would later have the skills of Paul Robinson?
