It's a series of tubes!

I've heard about this The Hurst S100 Series Fire Tube 27 HP Hydronic Water Heating Boiler...Sounds like a real solid piece of work, Hey....By any chance diiiid you join this website just so you could come and *ban, er I mean spam, er ...TELL us all about this amazing new project over to Ketchikan?? 'Cause I worked at a cannery in Seward and met a guy that lived there...Are you hairless? Can you skin a beaver or smoke a fucking salmon??!

the future: a series of tubes.

Maybe. The alternative view is that this was a watershed moment and the internets will always win: http://johnquiggin.com/2012/01/19/the-internet-is-like-a-million-page-a-second-photocopier-or-is-that-a-series-of-tubes/

If poster had an axe to grind, he didn't get the opportunity, and he wouldn't have posted the video. This is life as it should be, and I'm not a bit surprised the conscious beings surrounded by a series of tubes couldn't recognize it.

It's a series of tubes!

I think I saw VideoSift on a truck.

Yes, yes. Any school with famous liberals who graduated are now completely invalid as educational institutions. That's how you get around that one. Harvard Law is a crap school. So here are the conservative graduates who also don't have a valid degree according to you:

Chief Justice John Roberts
Former Chief Justice William Rehnquist
Justice Antonin Scalia
George W. Bush
William Bennett
Henry Paulson
Bill Frist
Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens
Mitt Romney
Alan Keyes
Lou Dobbs
Bill O'Reilly

Man... too bad they must all be idiots... and they clearly don't have a grasp on being "American".

Do you ever stop and think before you say things like that?

You don't get to invalidate someone's academic achievement because you politically disagree with them... Well, you can, but it just makes you look incredibly stupid. There's something horribly wrong with people who look down on someone's intelligence despite graduating from one of the elite colleges in the US because they disagree with them. Ridiculous...

Sarah Palin can really galvanize and lead, eh?

What, are all polls now liberally biased, too?!

And nice try attempting to make this about how well Obama has done as President. That wasn't the debate. You said Palin is just as smart, if not smarter, than Obama. She's not. Period. You can't even sanely argue that she is. She's of average to above average intelligence overall, but sorely lacks knowledge of the economy, foreign policy, and other crucial topics needed to be a good president. Plain and simple. Your political leanings shouldn't cloud that assessment. There are plenty of right wingers who also can accept Palin just isn't smart, and Obama is.

Bonus: The only person who brought up Al Gore is you. This isn't a liberal vs conservative thing. This is you saying idiotic things flying in the face of simple facts.

Did you seriously just say Obama's intellect is comparable to Palin's?!
Palin has a far better grasp on what it means to be an American than a bitter leftist who sat in a hate-Whitey church for 20-plus years. His Earness is endlessly promoted by His media lackeys, so a fair comparison is not possible.
SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? Look, gaffes aside, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School with a JD magna cum laude. Palin took six years to get a bachelor's degree in communications bouncing around from school to school to get it!
You might have had a point when Harvard wasn't a politically-correct degree mill. Speaking of kollij, we will never see Obama's kollij papers to know his genius even then. Community organizer? Do you even need higher education to become a rabble-rousing 'activist'?
Dude, if the conservative/libertarian ideology concluded the world is flat, would you spout that crap, too?! In fact, your beloved Ron Paul wouldn't tell Obama he's not smart enough to be president.
I don't need any labels to denounce His Earness. I merely observe the results of his incompetence (or genius, for those promoting the one-world illuminati worldview). His results are indefensible by any metric you care to name.
Just ridiculous. I get you don't like Obama, but that doesn't mean you should ignore basic fact. And I'm sorry, but she's simply not smart enough to be president. This has nothing to do with her ideology. Plenty of conservative politicians are out there who have the intellectual capacity to be president, but she's not one of them.
Due to an unfortunate media-created outbreak of Palin Derangement Syndrome, your observation cannot be quantified. Anyone here think Joe Biden is smart enough to operate a doorknob much less be President?
BONUS NO. 2 -- "Who are these people?" -- mid-90s Vice President and supergenius Al Gore, referring to the busts of Jefferson, Washington and Franklin during a tour of Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson.

Katie, Ted Stevens has the answer.

A series of tubes!

I get that sometimes- my theory is that it's just hitting a particularly slow server.


Have you ever noticed that if you re-load the vid on a a machine with a diff IP the buffering performance is entirely different? I have my work laptop on a VPN, hence going through an entirely different set of connections on top of my own, and often I find that a video that buffers slow from my network is fast on theirs. I'd guess that their load balancer(non-existent nerd word) just popped you onto a shitty server.

... either that or there are layer 3 gnomes in the youtube series of tubes.

They can't cork a single leaking pipe in the Gulf of Mexico but we're expected to believe they can stop a worldwide series of tubes?

Thank god for the internet. Hopefully, politicians will soon realize that it's now easier than ever to call them out on their doublespeak, and actually start showing some integrity. Well, not the current batch, they think it's a series of tubes. But for the next generation, there's hope.

Evolution is not a ladder, it's a series of tubes. Wait no... I'm thinking of something else.

Awwww man, does that mean my hard drive is full of gayness, and because I'm connected (via a series of tubes,) to the rest of the world, I'm gaying up the entire world?

This'll teach for admiring the cinematography of Naughty Night Nurses 5!
