Yeah, I saw this video and the enormous hype that surrounded the original article earlier today and seeing the 1000+ diggs it had at first I thought there must be something wrong with me, because a wedding intro like this seemed like a very unoriginal "let's do something original" idea. In other words, I've seen stuff like this a gajillion times IRL already and I supposed most people must have. And the execution is below average any way you look at it, too.

Mind you, videos of elaborate flashmobs and nice over-the-top proposals have moved me beyond words and I sure as hell don't like being this negative in response to what's supposed to be this real feel-good video - but that's just how I sees it

That was awesome beyond words.

>> ^shagen454:
This isn't the first star comparison video, obviously, but I find it interesting that many of them contain this not so subtle message that YOU are but a speck of dust instead of focusing on the amazing massiveness and endless variations and possibilities. Why can't they just let the images speak louder than words instead of trying to cyber bully the viewer?


Or better yet, demonstrate how amazing it is that we can sit here on this planet killing each other over things such as religion, when we could combine and work towards going out and experiencing all of the amazing (amazing is such an understatement) things out there.

We sit on this planet in our little rat race of our own devising, working 9-5 to live in our tiny little house on our tiny little planet, shitting on other tiny little people to get a little bit more status/money, whilst the universe flies on past without us even knowing, but calling to us, saying "You don't NEED religion to feel special, look at all these wonderments i have, and you are alive to see it. AND YOU ARE ONE OF THESE WONDERMENTS. You're so fucking special it's beyond words."

This disgusts me beyond words. I love how the right-winging GOP assholes keep claiming that having Obama as President will destroy America...what's destroying America is the corrupt legislation and "anti-terrorist acts" they created.

you can watch the original on a clip from colbert i think? he does one as well.

just remember.. when the gays get personal freedoms..


...yours will be taken away.

shhhh...

did you see all that lightning?

So one person telling another to downvote a video is ok?
I didnt name the 2 people in question but they both were downvoting the same type of video. It looked like a "Tip-off" from one "sift-informer" to "sift-police":p How much are informers getting paid these days?


I'm going to reply to this with a timeline of my own actions. Reason is this:

>> ^prisonpanda:
Ah noes the internet police were here. Man you folks down voting really outta chill out and stop trying to police this site.


in aparently reply to a coment i made, just before it.

KP posted a vid. clearly a rediculouse vid. a vid of horrror. i see it (in early unsifted state) as i was browsing reasent comments, and saw Issys coment invokation * Fear:
Vid: http://www.videosift.com/video/Man-Boobs
Comment: href="/video/Man-Boobs#comment-517208"

I watched the vid by KP and was horrified. I upvoted the fear coment. I didnt down vote. Not yet. Why? it wasnt sifted. and, i didnt want to attracked increased attention to this attrocity.

later, KP left me a comment profile suggesting i down vote his vid. why? because it was getting perilously close to getting sifted and it was truly awefull. He left such coments on a ffew peoples profiles, this being a bit of an injoke/entertaniment amoungst the regulars.

I duly downvote, as the + to - vote ratio was on the wrong balance.

Kps videos had mr pregnant in the tags.

I was at the bottom of the vid page, to see who else had down/upvoted. In so doing, i spoted http://wtf.videosift.com/video/Big-Belly-Man-Been-missing-you in the related videos section. very similar thumbnails. Isnt there for me now, but was at the time.

Sometimes, after one vid from a src gets sifted (or even submitted) others from that src get sifted too, by the human jump on bandwagon reaction i myself have succumbed to at times. These vids were too bad to ignore, and the thought of several on the front page could nto be countenanced.

This meme needed nipping in the bud, and fast.

So i watched the above vid, didnt like it, not one bit, and down voted. I also left eh follwing coment: "href="/video/Big-Belly-Man-Been-missing-you#comment-519237

which was immediately followed by the one at the top by prisonpanda referring to "the internet police" and suggesting "chill out and stop trying to police this site" which is such utter bullshit its beyond words. its attempting to police the site through up and down votes, that stops it being YouTube. its the WHOLE FUCKING point of being here.

it was shortly after that the sift talk post about http://wtf.videosift.com/talk/Voting-here-is-like-blockvotes-at-Eurovision-song-Contest was posted, making similar statements

-----

So thats my actions, and the chronolgy/sequence/reasons for them.

As for Ban or Not Ban, if, thoes down votes were legit to qthe quality fo the watched vids, fine. if not, and an emotional outburst, then i vote for rules is rules and 2 week suspension/ban as i think thats the standard duration.

DONT down vote from spite. down vote cos the vid is bad, and the Mr Pregnant vids 9atleast the 2 i watched) are appauling

Here's the e-mail being sent out to the MoveOn-a-nites:

"Yesterday was John McCain's 72nd birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of slamming Barack Obama for "inexperience," here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.

Huh?

Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:


She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1

Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2

She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3

Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4

She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5

She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6
How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7
This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family.

We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample:

She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK

She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK

As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK

I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.

In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country.

In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this information along to your friends and family.

Thanks for all you do.

Your avatar is glorious beyond words.

I like how instead of pixelating the green bunny's privates they had the little birdie with lips hovering in front of him/her.

Weird beyond words will get my upvote every time.

Not saying that their leader isn't anything but terrible, what he's put his people through is beyond words, but keep in mind to them he is a god. Is it really that strange to praise your deity after a successful surgery?

Thank god we don't have that in the west, eh.

Great sift btw!

Am terrified beyond words.... This is so creepy.

Why does she publish her opinions, she's not saying anything new.
Why is she obsessing over movie stars and bull shit celebrites? She needs to get something better to do with her life.
This is stupid. Stupid beyond words. Words don't describe how much I don't care whether that holocaust victim of lady lives or dies.
I bet the girl in blue ate that stick of butter, after smoking 6 packs of cigarettes.
