I just watched that Ed Helms clip, and now I really really want a homometer.

Yep blocked for Canada . You don't need to discard it, there are other blocked Comedy Central vids on the sift.

In reply to this comment by my15minutes:
so it is, in fact, blocked in canada.

you're the first to get back to me with confirmation of it not being available.
so thanks for being willing to be the bearer of bad news.

guess i'll either find an alternate embed, or just discard it, since the one person i really wanted to have watch it, already has.

cool. i love a good chat.

here's the funny part, for me.
as a liberal, i personally feel not one fucking ounce of ashamed.

if you didn't take part, in the behavior you're embarrassed to witness, why feel any sense of shame about it?
and no, that's not purely a rhetorical question. if, after reading this, you actually do know of some reason you should feel ashamed, say so, and what you think you should do to atone.

> The whole point of my original comment was that I think the ridicule of people sincerely protesting aggressive recruitment to be shallow and reactionary.

and if they had presented their case, as well as you just defended them with that sentence? we wouldn't be having this discussion. because the Daily Show wouldn't have had anything to make fun of.
i don't doubt their sincerity. but personally, i don't see a thoughtful, organized protest against aggressive recruitment, here. i've seen those. they know the specific recruitment tactics they are protesting. this doesn't look like that, to me.

and maybe i'm being cynical here, but i suspect half of what Berkeley's pissed about? is NIMBY. and if so, i say fuck that.

i find many of the Code Pink events to be honorably conceived, but poorly organized & executed.
know who they could learn from, in that regard? the USMC.
though i share the anti-war sentiment that the community of Berkeley is expressing? i think they're expressing it poorly. and that the Daily did a good job of pointing that out, because exposing hypocrisy is what they do best.

and if the hypocrisy comes from a group i associate myself with?
i'm all the more grateful to those exposing it, not ashamed.
