Thanks dude! I hate the player too.

What a fucking terrible player. It's fucking huge and has a long ass commercial in the beginning. Did you find any non-embeddable versions(WMP, .mov)?

I'd be more than happy to host it to avoid this shitstain of a player.
[edit] Ripped it from BMG's channel on youtube, working on it now.

Pretty much just that. I don't think we're supposed to post from CC any more. The only reason you can is because you're a goldie. Non=golds can't. It's considered an other-than-approved source.

No more comedy central embeds? I am not sure what you mean?

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
I don't think we're doing CC embeds still.

I thought the sift was no longer taking comedy central videos:

dgandhi, I don't think he's a troll. Just someone who has listened a lot to one side and little to the other, he doesn't understand the issue as well as he thinks he does. I run into the same problem all the time in the drug war debates, people with strong opinions who have never even looked at the statistics and results of what they so strongly support.

FLIBOI, you say "If you want to be fair, you should allow the teaching of ALL theories rather than just one and let people make up their own minds."

Test that theory for a moment and see if you really believe it. Visit the following page and look at the arguments and letters from people in the scientific community who see roughly equal validity between intelligent design and the alternate theory they propose.

http://www.venganza.org/

Start with the open letter to the school board, then read the section called Evidence, academic endorsements.

Yes, it's all pretty silly and most who support the group recognize that. BUT, and this is the key part, it is every bit as scientific as claiming we don't know so magic man must have done it. Intelligent design or creationism is NOT science, that's the problem. In philosophy, fine. Comparative religion classes, fine. In science, no. Nobody is even trying to deny you or anyone else your beliefs. We're just telling you that it isn't science. It's personal philosophy. For every expert you can toss up to support ID or creationism there's got to be three that'll support the FSM as equally valid. Interesting ideas, but not science.

When you people wanted to have the right to your own beliefs we all defended and supported you in that, but when it started being pushed into our schools and our national policy it was no longer a question of your rights but of our nations survival. Modern medicine is based in large part on genetics, everything from how that pill you take works to genetic modification to fight inherited conditions is based on it, and more. Start inserting personal belief in one part of science and none is safe, we're seeing it in the global warming debate too now, and in stem cells. We can't be crippled as a people just to satisfy the confusion of some about the difference between science and personal belief. When you guys pushed that hard you left no choice but for others to push back.

You and your beliefs aren't under attack, just the urge to insert those beliefs into our schools and public policy is. Given the last few years we've got reason for concern.

no embedding? write them a stern open letter, that always works.

I just think that it undermines the statement that was expressed in that open letter to comedy central... we should really be acting all together on this.

*dead

mormons in cahoots with Comedy central, don't fuck around....

Think this is the answer to the open letter to cocksuckers at creative property are trying to tell us??? Who the fuck needs em anyhow, eh??

Thanks for the open letter Dag. I got stupidly excited last month when Viacom launched thedailyshow.com and offered every single clip for free online.

Turns out party only lasted a couple weeks as the Daily Show website is now also blocked for International viewers.

I thought only countries like Iran and China blocked of the outside world on the Internet? Ah well, I guess it shouldn't surprise us that America can now be put in the same category...Tip of the berg?

OK, Lucky has disabled Comedy Central- we will remove it's graphic from the little tiles - but it would be nice to find a replacement first to keep our graphical symmetry.

Also, Diamonds will still of course have the ability to submit from Comedy Central, but we would kindly ask you to refrain.

I'll be posting my open letter to Comedy Central- Monday morning in the US. Stay tuned, and help us spread the word. It would be amazing if VideoSift could help overturn this policy!

Why thanQ ant. I'm drafting an open letter to Comedy Central as we speak. I will post it here and maybe we can raise a bit of a ruckus - or a brouhaha - either one really will do.

Dupe?
