OMG. OMG. 3:17. The news ticker. CNN = Money. wtf?!?!?!?!?!

TICKERS! I HATES THEM! I WILL KEEEEL ZEE DEMON ONCE AND FOR ALLLLLLL!!!

I love watching the ticker on the bottom row. If you've never paid attention you need to....can be just as good if not better than the actual video.

"Provo, UT One-Man band loses drummer in car accident"

I for one lobbied for this awhile back, and indeed was shot down.

But now with 12 hour turn around, my vids are getting pretty thick with requeue request and sift bot replies. A button would be BRILLIANT! Possibly a ticker of some sort? a subscript number, quietly out of the way, but noticeable if you were looking for it?

my .02 worth

pretty good video, even if it hasn't taught me anything new. that fucking ticker was giving me a headache, though. i had to open notepad and position it to cover the bottom section of the video in order to make it through.

LOL, reminds me of that old saying - how to look busy when your boss walks past at work...

"..if your boss if walking past your desk and you need to look busy, just pick up some papers from your drawer, and flip through them whilest swearing under your breath, then put them back in the drawer" LOL

_Hacking in movies, its always either a HAL10000 super computer with 9 monitors, and 3D displays, or a glorified ticker tape machine...

Dont forget, you can store your excel spreadsheets on your XBOX and access them by playing PoP...

If I ever have heart problems someone please make sure that that dumb fucking heart surgeon never comes near my ticker.

yea, i meant to write that the news room bhind him is littered with fox logos.

I'm glad to hear this guy has a legit show

I was saying that as more of a joke, it's possible though. However Fox doesn't always run their news ticker and I think that guy has a legitimate show.

In reply to this comment by qruel:
i had not thought of that (there is no news ticker at the bottom). the implication being that this was not broadcast on fox ?

In reply to this comment by thesnipe:
Are you sure that Fox logo isn't just a post production add-on?

i had not thought of that (there is no news ticker at the bottom).

but there is the fox news room (with signs) behind him.

Make sure you read the news ticker at the bottom too.

The Panorama programme showed the museum to be apparently using images of the Holocaust to sell its message which Sweeny said had upset him before he was confronted and harrangued by Tommy Davis - not that it excuses the outburst but it makes it a little more comprehensible. I also like Sweeny's comment in the Panorama programme: "I apologised then and I apologise now. I lost my voice, but I didn't lose my mind" - sadly it gave them enough ammunition to slur him once he rose to their bait.

I have an ambivalent attitude to this Scientology stuff - I consider all religion to be a cult, it is just that some have the weight of thousands of years (and millions of lives) behind them forcing certain beliefs and attidutes on those in their thrall.

I also feel that societies are similarly 'cult based', and people have no choice in where they are born or how they are brought up, just in their preferences and groups they join later. It makes this battle between the BBC and the Scientologists a kind of a clash of culture as well, between who can utilise the media better.

Similarly the shouting fit thrown by John Sweeny and the intimidation techniques used by Tommy Davis are the kind of nasty nose-to-nose confrontations that occur between people every day of the week on the street, in bars, in offices etc.

However, having said all that, watching the Panorama programme showed Scientology to be extremely creepy. I have nothing against people, much less Hollywood stars, giving all their money away to a cult if they want to, and even have some sympathy with the Scientologists getting upset at being investigated but listening in and then interrupting interviews with people with dissenting opinions by walking up to an interview in progress and relating the interviewees faults and criminal convictions in lurid detail is incredibly rude and insulting as well as creepy.

They just seem to be incredibly insecure - if you have to follow people around and confront them if you see them speaking to 'undesireable' people then you must be worried about what they will say and perhaps even have something to hide that you might be worried about them talking about.

Surely the best way is to let people with dissenting opinions talk - even if they have a good point there is a good chance a lot of people will still sympathise with the Scientologists! The confrontation however just makes the Scientologist look weirder for acting up, and Davis immediately lost any sympathy from me when I saw him get upset at Sweeny just trying to conduct an interview. It is also interesting to see from the Panorama programme that Sweeny shouts at Tommy Davis after Davis has already tried to shout him down (and we have been shown two other incidences of Davis shouting Sweeny down and Sweeny backing off and letting him have his say previous to this)

I'll be very interested to see whether Anne Archer, Juliette Lewis "and the rest" who were interviewed for the Scientology cause but then withdrew their comments have any influence in preventing the BBC from showing their films or programmes etc or whether they will still turn up on the BBC in the future - i.e. whether their 'beliefs' are stronger than the almighty dollar.

I'm also surprised the BBC didn't have a little ticker at the bottom of the screen ticking off the number of times they used the word 'cult' in the programme! That would have lightened the tone while still pissing the Scientologists off! I counted around 14 uses of the word (15 if you count that one that described Tommy Davis, but I might have heard a 'l' instead of an 'n'!)

yeah leave it to a self-satisfied moron to call attention to semantics rather than issues....of course the fact that choggie uses expletives in an attempt to drive a point off the tops of the heads of imbeciles, those same imbeciles invariably, short-circuit a conversation with diversion, and try to show how sophisticated and educated and sensitive they are by diverting attention from an issue to create another, to paint a picture.....problem is, you don't have the right brush, or any paint, and you've chosen to render what experts call art, on a light-absorbing surface-

why did I want to join yer collective???? Because pulling the umbilical from the brains of the masses is the vibe that yer little, unilateral feel-good collective sounded like.....look-there is no ego here, so I aint pissed at being chided or thought of as a moron....intelligence, my savior, is highly overrated.....MENSA may as well be a fucking dunce cap in light of what the world really needs, although insects are quite useful........We all have our place in the world, and the sift, and if it doesn't rub you too hard the wrong way, I would like to stay in your little collective, to post from time to time a counter to the insanity of ineffectual musings that are so prevalent on a planet full of monkeys who have lost their balls, and traded common sense for intelligence.....

If you think I don't give a flipper-dipper(that better) about the environment, I apologize for not writing my comments in kindertalk, then you are misguided by some pat response prepared for comments from any dissent-

My impact is minimal in the grand scheme of things....but the amount of damage done to the human race, by folks who see injustice, and try to bargain with the devil, playing by his contrived rules, is a running ticker.

Once again, for the cheap seats.
Global Warming is a non-issue, with relation to the problems of a contrived, controlled, and carefully constructed and implemented system called "the world we now live in"

Shut down the grid, but be prepared to power up with less, i.e. no more convenience, you idealists who vote and campaign for change, are pulling a hair at a time from a head that needs to be removed.........we probl'y won't do it, but most certainly those who caused it will never be called to task............and please, don't take it personally, unless you created the damn viddy, for christ sakes, a post here is like asking someone to read a magazine article that made you think, or to have a look at a new tattoo......I'm just not the nicey-nice person who lets bullshit fly through the air without slapping at it.......

....yessir, i would have to second that last monkey-muse...which brings me to another suggestion for the self-appointed, tidiing, and blingin' sprite...We aught to have a ticker, countin' off the seconds, mins etc, since each member joined...Ha! Geezers! I see all kindsa new opprtunities for ball-busting...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Kinda gets you right there in the ol' ticker. [sniff]
