Can this be shortened down now to a 30-40 second commercial and be put on prime time TV?

'Cause that would rock.

what. the. fuck.
seriously.

Who's responsible for this? Who filmed this.. and WHY?! Whos telling *mentally handicapped* people that they are were-wolves and vampire killers? I know imagination is a wonderful thing and all but there is also something to be said about a healthy appreciation for REALITY.

Give em some Harry potter for cryin out loud but leave the werewolves, vampires, and "naked boys" for those with a better grasp on reality. PLEASE!

*yeah i want to say the other word for it but im being politically correct here

and one more thing. 40 seconds in is the best one liner in the history of the interweb.

Oh gosh... I never knew a 40 second clip of a twitching hamster could be so precious.

He essential says almost exactly what I said in the first 40 seconds.

it's a british generic friendly lads accent with no detectable regionality, perfect for advertising.

the reason it sounds a bit ozzy is probably because the last line is a question, and as we all know, every oz sentence ends with a question mark. and the actor is trying to be all casual and laddish.

btw, IPA (india pale ale) was specially developed so it could be transported to india without going bad. Empire, what what. Now you know.

and yes, british ads are better than american ads, but this one only needed 20 seconds. i hate 40 second ads that repeat the joke a million times.

Speaking only as an American, we don't need proof that is "beyond doubt", just "beyond reasonable doubt." We don't need smoking guns for convictions in a court of law, and yes, people have been convicted based on circumstantial evidence. Is there a lawyer in the house? They will back up that last statement.

Here's the thing: If two "friends", such as DrAl and MrFisk are upvoting each other (from two different IP addresses, mind you), would this happen only minutes or even seconds apart? Here is that scenario, if you buy into it:

(MrFisk and DrAlcibiades both are logged into Google chat)
-DrAl: Hey Fisk, you ready to post that video?
-Fisk: You bet buddy. I just posted it, in fact.
-DrAl: Cool, I'm on it. There, I just upvoted it.
-Fisk: Great. This makes up for the ridiculously long 4 minutes and 40 seconds you took to upvote my last video.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but DrAl was here for only three 3 days, and in that time he only voted for ONE user outside of himself, and then we have time stamps that are too close together to be regarded as coincidence. And for the life of me, I can't see anyone else here having a friend who would slavishly sit at their computer just to upvote a friend's video the second it was posted. And then MrFisk acts like he never heard of sock puppetry!? Unless his first day on the internet was also his first day here, that simply strains the limit of credibility.

I believe in giving the benefit of the doubt when there is reasonable doubt to begin with, but do you really believe there is "reasonable" doubt in this case?

Good point. On this post:

Their votes break down like this:
DrAlcibiades 2008-05-28 13:32:11
MrFisk 2008-05-28 13:32:41
But on this one:
http://www.videosift.com/admin/video/Rare-Shooting-During-Film
ing-of-the-Muppets
It's like this:
DrAlcibiades 2008-05-31 19:07:21
MrFisk 2008-05-31 19:12:01


Okay, so one vote is only 30 seconds after the other, and the other is only 4 minutes and 40 seconds after the other. Both are pretty damn close, in my book. Too close to be coincidence, if you ask me. What say the rest of you?

To summarize, here is the evidence:

1. DrAlcibiades only joined on 5/28/08, yet made a beeline straight for MrFisk's videos and voted for them all.
2. DrAlcibiades has ONLY voted for MrFisk's videos and his own, and NO ONE ELSE'S.
3. When MrFisk posted new videos after DrAlcibiades joined, DrAlcibiades was right there to upvote them, one only 30 seconds after posting, and the other in less than 5 minutes after posting.
4. Sock puppetry was clearly and openly discussed TWICE since MrFisk joined, so I find it extremely difficult for anyone to claim ignorance of sock puppetry prohibition.

I say the evidence is strong enough for a conviction, and I ask that MrFisk be banned. We need to put our foot down about sockpuppetry. The FAQ also needs to be updated. A clear explanation of what sock puppetry is and that it's grounds for a permanent ban needs to added.

So what do the rest of you say? Clearly ashes2flames has spoken, and so have I. That's two votes for conviction and banination. The rest of you are also in the jury. Please cast your vote.

interesting final 40 seconds or so

There are more, but I'd say you are well qualified to be the steward of *ouch or *oops, which the sift sorely needs.

I wanted to kill myself after 40 seconds.


Perhaps you need to see someone about that? I mean really, wanting to top yourself over a video on a bike lane... can't be healthy, are you sure you don't have some sort of repressed childhood trauma?

Tell me about your mother...

I wanted to kill myself after 40 seconds.

- He scripted this first, and

- He's going to use it as an audition tape.

(and I stopped viewing at 40 seconds.)

Same here; pages take anywhere from 20-40 seconds, or even not at all

Very patient indeed!
The first 40 seconds or so it looks almost like it is the back end of a brachiosaurus.

Clever piece of work, but the lead-in was a bit too long. If you skip to the 40 second mark you are not really missing much.
