I keep expecting that you know this because so many people use tablets these days, but it isn't changing and I see no others mentioning it: I can't watch video sift bids any more on my iPad. I can't even cluck through to YouTube anymore. My only chance is to actually go to YouTube and search for it, which is not a fun way to use videosift.
If I try, the embed blinks, but no dice. Been this way for a bit. C

Hey, Arvana, I just unknowingly duped your video, but I think my embed is better. I didn't know if I should kill it before you saw it (my embed is not blocked and misses some pointless introduction stuff and doesn't have useless border decorations). I will happily kill mine after you see it: http://videosift.com/video/Jim-Gilliam-The-Internet-is-my-religion

I logged in, and it said access denied. I tried again and it said it couldn't display login information because i was already logged in. It seems like something is messed up.

Can I make a post invisible to me?
In reply to this comment by oxdottir:
OK, is there some way I can make it so a particular post is no longer visible to me? So that when I go to sifttalk I don't have to read jokes about rape that make me want to log off and avoid the site alltogether?
OK. That didn't work. I tried ignoring Jigga. That did nothing to hide his, of all things, PROMOTED post. How do I get this shit off my screen? This is a serious question.

I think those holiday cards he has at zazzle would make fabulous Ts. I had a facebook friend ask for pointers to christmas sweatsirts just yesterday (I don't even know if tvirus makes sweatshirts).

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
Ah, good question. I wasn't even considering the idea. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask.
In reply to this comment by oxdottir:
Look at this one: http://www.zazzle.com/merry_christmas_ambigram_card-137392926579806516
I guess he already has products so he wouldn't want to be in tee virus?

Hey Lucky, I saw your ambigram. I liked it. Are you familiar with Scott Kim's work (http://www.scottkim.com/)?

That's the thing, it had only "blue angels" and no "jet".

So I added "jet" to the tags.

I'm sorry I dupeof-ed your fine video. I know you can't have known because it had a really obscure title and tags. Took me a while to find it.
No worries, would have done it myself. Odd it didn't show up when I posted, I even searched for "jet fly low".

Thanks, Jonny. I appreciate your point. It sure bugs me, though, having us happily keep something that announces at the start that its unlawful to transmit it.
In reply to this comment by jonny:
In principle, I agree with you. I've tried many times to see that rule/guideline enforced, and failed every time. Despite my admonitions to dag that having the FAQ entry provides zero legal cover if there is copyrighted material on VS, he has never supported removal of any sift when it comes up. I've never gotten a straight answer from him on it, but I think he wants the FAQ entry so as to discourage new(er) users from regularly posting up every new Simpsons episode, etc. If/when VS starts to see a large number of full length movies or television episodes posted, I suspect dag will start to enforce the rule.
On a side note, Dr. Strangelove presents an interesting example of the failure of copyright laws. The whole point of copyright is to encourage new ideas by providing knowledge creators with some exclusivity over their works for some time. Given that Kubrick and Peter George (author of the original novel) are both dead, there is no reason for Dr. Strangelove to still be under copyright. But the law allows for copyright term to last for as long as 70 years(!) after the death of the author. And in this case, the copyright is owned by a corporate entity, extending the copyright term to as much as 95 years after publication.
I could write endless pages of text on this subject, so I better stop here before I get carried away.

oh man, it happens to all of us. Its betterwhen the dupe gets discarded when it hasonly one vote. I had a dupe discarded at 50 and I was attached: that hurt!
