I thought the Travis Walton story was admitted by those involved to be fake?

Travis Pastrana is a fucking fearless man. I wish I had half the balls of that dude.

The song was originally written Merle Travis: http://videosift.com/video/Merle-Travis-Sixteen-Tons

Tennessee Ernie Ford popularized the song; guess it's good to have a standard version of the song on here.

One more version, way after he jumped the shark: http://videosift.com/video/Tennessee-Ernie-Ford-16-Tons-Go-Go-Version

Watch for the Black Hole "Remake"

Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski takes on 1979 sci-fi film
"Disney are going back to the eighties with a reinvention of the sci-fi classic The Black Hole. The remake has a top team behind it with direction from Tron Legacy's Joseph Kosinski and screenplay courtesy of Travis Beacham who penned Clash of the Titans. They have also have producer Sean Bailey involved on the potentially 3D project.

The original, directed by Gary Nelson, at the time was the most costly Disney film ever made, and saw the longest computer graphics shot at that point in history leaving it with nominations for cinematography and visual effects at the Academy Awards that year.

The remake will recount in much more detail, the story of spaceship Palamino discovering the presumed dead Dr. Hans Reinhardt in a lost, robot controlled ship hovering over a black hole. Reinhardt, even after twenty years, remains to determind to find what lies beyond the hole - be that immortality or oblivion...

I'm really surprised that this shit has gone on for so long.
Friend of mine is heading out there soon.
He's a reserve in his late forties.
What the fuck. I mean just...what the fuck?


I would like to type for you you an excerpt from World War Z by Max Brooks

On second thought maybe you all should read the whole section, Pages 50 - 54.

"We were a volunteer army, and look what happened to our volunteers. How many stories do you remember about some soldier who had his term of service extended, or some ex reservist who after ten years of civilian life, suddenly found himself recalled into active duty? How many weekend warriors lost their jobs or houses? How many came back to ruined lives, or, worse, didn't come back at all? Americans are an honest people, we expect a fair deal. I know that a lot of other cultures used to think that was naive and even childish, but it's one of our most sacred principles. To see Uncle Sam going back on his word, revoking people's private lives, revoking their freedom..."
-Max Brooks World War Z Page 53 3rd Paragraph Down, Section Titled Vaalajarvi, Finland character named: Travis D'Ambrosia, Supreme Allied Commander.

Thanks a lot for bringing that to my attention. There did seem to be some kind of a kink in our indexer. I did a bit of kicking and smoke started coming out of it, but I think it should be working again.

Lucky,
Are videos being properly indexed at the moment? It seems that there's an larger than usual number of dupes these last couple of days, and running searches on terms used in titles & tags don't seem to be generating the results you'd expect.


For example, I did a search for "Travis Pastrana", and neither of these vids came up in the results:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Travis-Pastrana-jumps-269-feet-over-Long-Beach-Harbour
http://www.videosift.com/video/Travis-Pastrana-leaps-into-new-year-with-record-jump

Similarly, searches for terms used in both these dupes failed to generate any results (search term = reality show bus):
http://www.videosift.com/video/ONN-VH1-Reality-Show-Bus-Crashes-Causing-Major-Slut-Spill
http://www.videosift.com/video/VH1-Reality-show-bus-crashes-in-California-spilling-sluts

So, should we dupe this one and get this one the updated HD embed?
