More race card sh;t.
Sane person: And that's why I think Obama's plan to raise the capital gains tax will prolong any recession.
Liberal: You just wanna kill people with BROWN skin! Hate crime!
Sane person: Remember to vote November 5th.

Only a fuckstick like you would take a parody that exposes the shallowness of racism and equate it with some invisible phantom robbing you of your money.



HAH !

Finally -
an excellent example of a video, referring memetically to another video, and providing a link in the description. Good work on your blankfist.
*upvote.

lol..

Some of us submit good videos that are entertaining or of some quality or at least unique and interesting.

Other people just submit the same stuff ad naseaum. (See: GI JOE PSA from years ago) (See: endless parade of kitty doggie videos)

Some people try to be the first to submit regular type series that are the kind on the top10 of digg and most of the internet (See: Zero Punctuation) (see: chad vader)

Some people just like their own unique tastes to be posted everywhere, this is usually certain types of music videos.

A lot of the top people just see a video from whatever means the use to aggregate videos and recognize those destined for top honors and submit those.

A better question is where do people cull videos from the internet from. Most people do not watch 1000s of newly submitted 10 view YT videos, so there is already some major sifting before they get submitted to aggregation sifting/voting sites like this one.

Occasionally, people will just try to fill out a niche that is otherwise ignored on the internet, like cooking videos or horrorshow videos back when a contest is run or halloween time. This site is unique in that there are not really hard core channel fans, like a video gaming forum might see only those videos, etc.

Anyways, this site started with a certain relatively small group of users and the types of videos that others like were reinforced, so people that enjoyed that blend of videos came back because it was useful for delivering certain content. Eventually those that value the content make an account and add their own, usually somewhat similar tastes, or if it was not it would be ignored.

This site is really not that much different than the digg top10 list, but it does have to opportunity to provide more unique finds. There used to be great japanese and korean content, which has mostly died down, partly because of the massive YT purges of jtv content. Same goes with adultswim content that was once submitted, but pretty much useless now because those videos will soon be dead, so copyright holders can actually stifle the distrubution to larger audiences.. dee doo doo

For instance, for awhile it was all Colbert stuff, but that died off either as a fad, or the YT embed being killed by copyright holders, and then the annoying US only ability to play Comedy Central embeds. So much content is ignored from corporations trying to control their content.

I think in general the answer you are looking for from at least this collective of users if providing a place to be able to quickly and effortlessly watch good videos and avoid a bunch of useless crap. In some ways I think people submit videos to return the favor and keep the house of cards afloat, so there is a communal aspect to it, and many of the videos are a you-have-to-see-this. For the record, this site is not that much different than a fark submission, or at least the early days on this site had that appeal, but fark is a also almost a decade past jumping the shark.

You should visit GodTube as another concept of the secluded pockets of the internets where it used to be fun sport to submit some classic godtube content.

This was always my favorite GI Joe PSA, but how did it avoid the sift for so long?

What is "water skiing" doing in the tags?


He sifted something else about fensler water skiing and I think he just cut and pasted, trying to get as many of these queued as possible.

^bobknight33:

Did you get your education from a school that doesn't proofread before posting? Or are you against funding is public schools and peoples right to an education?

If you have basis for your comments, go ahead and make that clear. What I'm sick of hearing is comments like those that Joe-the-Schmo makes about questioning someone's loyalty because they disagree. One of the things that the Bill'O'Rights declares is that people are allowed to have differing opinions --it isn't unpatriotic. Now, if you are so much more experienced then Senator Obama, with your non-government-school-education, then why aren't you running for president or at least for Senate?

Or maybe you should have paid more attention to a Real American during your education.

looks like half the battle has been lost.
private charity and socialist programs are vastly different in principle. private charity is the result of a good will towards your fellow man. socialism is the result of physical violence at the hands of a tyrant (democratically elected or otherwise).



Oh won't somebody PLEASE think of the CEOs who make $100 million a year and don't want to give half of that to hire police, firemen, educators, doctors, construction workers, etc for public projects that enable the existence and prosperity of the company from which they derive their wealth!

Hopefully one day enough people will grow up and take responsibility for themselves, and we'll be able to take a more libertarian approach to government. But that day is not here yet.

My hope is that one day we realize that money isn't everything, shut down the banks, and convert to a Resource based economy in a technocratic society, so that everyone can live as well as everyone else and we'll actually have leaders that are qualified, not just ones who tell us they are.

> Did anyone notice that Quantuum Mushroom and Solvent posted within one minute of each other? Can you say "sock puppet"?

just coincidence, i assure you.

if there's one thing you needn't suspect of shroomy, or any other established member here,
it's sock-puppetry.
