What a shameful, sad bunch of dirtbags. I just don't know what to say. This makes me so angry.

The woman in the video asks, "But what are you gonna do?" That's a good question. I'm all set to go vigilante, but it doesn't sound like there are enough people in that area to give a shit. But the whole "the best revenge is to live a happy life" thing doesn't quite do it for me.

I'm going to do everything I can to make sure as many people as possible see this video, so that next time some asshole uses the euphemism "Collateral Damage" they'll understand what that really means.>> ^imstellar28:

What you gonna do about it? Thats right, nothing.

What you gonna do about it? Thats right, nothing.

-"Pussy! Lets go pussy! Come on you big pussy! What are you gonna do pussy? Huh pussy? I can take you pussy!! Gonna cry pussy? Huh? That's right pussy!!"

-"bitch"

Religion is in the business of control, obviously. Organized religion has the sole purpose of squeezing people for money and freedom. Unorganized religion, people being spiritual an whatnot, are just people not wanting to face reality as it is. It's a shame, but what're you gonna do?

We'll call this internet apocrypha. Found it in the following forum archive: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-298404.html

From the archive:

HEre's what I could find about the idiot:

"In this case, "Mullet" (as his friends call him), survived after a month in the hospital. When this video was actually new, there was a forum up where he came on to answer any questions about the accident... but when the thread was avalanched with slams towards Mullet for being such a ing dumbass, they eventually closed it.

There is still this thread where a moderator had the chance to talk to the kid that taped the whole thing.... you can find it here: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho...16&page=1&pp=25"

"Here are some of the highlights from the chat logs with the one guy who filmed the video:
A photo of the kid who hit the car with his face. Matt Lake a.k.a. (Mullet).

These chat transcripts are taken from another forum.

UPDATE: Paul, the video's cinematographer has left his AIM I.D. open for any questions you guys have. Pv8man999 is his address.

I contacted him, he couldn't really talk to me on AIM since he is being bombarded with IMs but he did send me a log of a previous conversation to answer any questions I might have.

Dear somethingawful forum posters
I am glad that the truth about the clip has been revealed.
As some of you may guess, I am the one who filmed the clip.
and yes I have tons of proof to back it up, such as the original full quality clip, and pictures and videos of Matt Lake (mullet). Also have pictures of mullet in the hospital which I will get from him problably within the next day or so.

I wasn't able to post on here because I didn't have an account until now.
Thank you so much for the account nailPuppy and also for chatting with me and posting the real info on here.
Sincerly

As some of you may know. There has been a tragic accident with Matt Lake (Mullet). Matt Lakes did not do it for the video, it was just a small prank gone horrably wrong. No one put him up to it, he did it on his own. But the good news is that he is recovering and is doing great.

Saw one of the kids, that he knew, and what he liked to do as a joke was smack them in the back of the head, they always do it to each other. So I thought it would be funny to film it, he rolled down the window and was gonna reach out and smack him, but since the new cars windows only go half way down, he couldent reach. So he opened the door, and was hanging onto the door, but the kid on the bike swerved in closer, and mullet lost his balence after the door hit the back of his bike seat, and fell off. He didn't die.

pv8man999: I still have the original clip
pv8man999: full DV quality, non-rendered. also footage of mullet.
antipop59: Is the one on the net edited in any way?
pv8man999: no
pv8man999: I serisouly thought he was dead
antipop59: you must have been traumatized
pv8man999: I got so scared
pv8man999: yes
pv8man999: very
pv8man999: to this day me and my friends don't like to talk about it
antipop59: were you guys smoking weed? Someone thought they spotted a cigarette or a joint in the passenger's hand I think
pv8man999: cigg
pv8man999: when I came up to him
pv8man999: he was still breathing
antipop59: was he just mangled?
pv8man999: but imagine every bone from your nose down broke
pv8man999: and 5 missing whole teeth on the street
pv8man999: no blood on the teeth
pv8man999: they ripped clean out
pv8man999: he was not conscious
pv8man999: so I had to keep him on his side so he wouldn't choke
pv8man999: the ****ing ambulance took 30 minutes to get there and the hospital wasn't far either
antipop59: what about the bike kid/kids? One of them looked like he got a first-hand look at the impact
pv8man999: yeah he was pretty freaked out
pv8man999: also
pv8man999: yes
pv8man999: this really wasn't meant to happen
pv8man999: it was just a freak accident
antipop59: lol I think that goes without saying
pv8man999: and for the rest of the people that say things like .."I'm glad hes dead he deserved what he got"...with out any facts...those people can go to hell
antipop59: well let's clarify one thing. The people who saw the video and made that kind of comment were under the [wrongful] suspicion that Mullet was attacking a random kid. If this had been the case, what would you think. I'm curious
pv8man999: well if that were the case if I were a random person and I KNEW that's what they were doing...I might have said something similar
antipop59: heh ok
antipop59: how does he look post-surgery?
pv8man999: he looks kinda the same exept fake teeth

What are you gonna do with it? Game?

Science is dying in America. NSF might have it's budget completely eliminated. NIST, NIH, NOAA, NRL, ANL, have all seen there budget sharply cut when compared to inflation. And you ask, who would I vote for?

You people. And you wonder why we have such a bad economy. The days of "Made in USA" are over people. We cannot compete with the foreign labor. Americans innovate. We make new things that no one has thought of, which are conceived in national labs and universities. Even Google was invented at a University.

"Google began in January 1996, as a research project by Larry Page, who was soon joined by Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California."

And you ask me who I would vote for. Do you have any idea how bad it is and has been for science? This is ridiculous. Is there a choice?

Obama is the only one of those candidates who had a legitimate science policy. No one ever asked Ron Paul "What are you gonna do about Science?". Why? Because he would have said, "I would eliminate the NSF and all other research institutions and give tax incentives to corporations to do research."

And if you seriously think that is a viable economic philosophy, then you need to get off your computer, because that was also invented at a University.

Sigh, oh well. It was only a matter of time anyway. At least he's not one of the people whose sifts I depended on for entertainment, lol.

It seems every time I actually look at what's up with people on the Sift when I've just been browsing videos for a while some sort of drama has occurred, it's pretty ridiculous.
