This is exactly the bullshit double speak that the average no-brainer 'wow i just saw a video and it was bad, therefore the whole country is baaaad' crap that makes internet discussions of this type of thing as pointless as the pre-pubescent dick swinging between your legs. So you agree that 'sanctions were bad' k, but 'the UN acted on behalf of the US'. Do you have any clue about the UN at all? About the decades of antagonism with the US, its complete paralysis during the cold war, through massive ethnic cleansing in bosnia where UN peacekeepers sat and watched and pretty much for every conflict ever since? Do you even comprehend the furore that currently exists around the UK and US interpretation of the UN mandate which was by no means a clear signal for war? No you dont, you probably dont know what UN stands for.

As for it being irrelevant, youre right - in your little video world the UN was nowhere in that shot so you havent been told an opinion on it yet. I could talk about 2007 and how the rules of engagement developed to the point the americans wouldnt fire until they had double confirmation of weapons because of incidents like this, about the brits blown up by american friendly fire and what a terrible waste of life war is generally and about a thousand other things that make the off the hand bullshit comments about 'OMG arent the americans evil' from a single clip only worthwhile on places like digg and videosift, but youre right - im not at that level. You sit on your fat consumerist arse and dont give a toss about where that keyboard you type on comes from, where the packaging it was wrapped in is now poisoning entire villages in china who burn it for 5p a sack, nah you just chucked it away. Well this war was fought to keep you in that idiot lifestyle of waste we all live in here in the west and at least i can see it, whereas you call it irrelevant. In all fairness you didnt see it in that video so how would you be expected to use the resource that is the internet for more than just typing crap in your short attention span world.

If its any consolation know i dont give a toss about your opinion, because by this time next week the top sift will be a rabbit that can chew a carrot with its arse and youll be saying its the most amazing this youve ever seeeeennn!!111!!!!

The more one knows the less they see-Thank God for short-attention spans.

Please correct the errors in your fledgling command of English.

Good stuff in here, though it's probably safe for people with normal attention spans to bail after the first ten minutes or so.

To entice those with short attention spans, what they're talking about here are legal challenges to the election that just happened in Iraq, and it sounds like they have both a contingent of birthers (who will be batted down for being as crazy as ours), and in a larger sense court rulings on procedure may ultimately determine who runs Iraq's government from this point forward (a la Bush v. Gore in 2000).

Fuck politically correct, more makin' fun of deaf people!

But seriously, the shtick works for a while-had to stop it half way through..laugh wore off to soon...gotta keep that short attention span healthy.

To help out Sifters with short attention spans, I have condensed Mr. Pennypacker's post.

As a first time watcher, I must admit this is quite bad. I don't have a short attention span, but it's like the whole movie was in slow motion with meaningless scenes (which are ok since there is no plot). It would be much better to watch it sped up . I guess if I'd watched it in the 70's I'd have a greater appreciation for it.

The original video is massively fun for a huge dork like me. But this short one pulled me in, which is good for someone with a short attention span... also like me.

grr what's up with those constant sound effects


Japanese tv found a solution for short attention spans

Crap. 2010.

My short attention span can't wait that long.

Agreed. Imho MS products have gotten better over time, but their marketing and PR teams still suck WAAAAY too much ass.

Yea how dare they present information about how their product can help us as consumers. They should know that we all have really short attention spans and they need to show us bright colors and loud music to keep our attention.



actually, thats not the point at all. bright colors and loud music would just make this presentation even stranger.

script
sound
lights
directing
dramaturgy

everyting here could be improved with some easily done adjustements.


lets talk about the sound. it just adds to the boring aspect. it is too roomy, too musch siblance on her voice etc. all that makes the sound amateurish, and dull sound just dulls down whatever video it is part of. so when the video is already at the brink of being superboring, dull sound will bring it certain death.

JFK was a brilliant man. He was certainly a threat to the corporate/financial establishment. Whether they had a hand or not in his assassination, that is up for debate. But most likely the roots of which will be buried like most everything else.

JFK, Martin Luther King, Whitewater, Iran Contra, Guantanamo (torture and related renditions), spying on US citizens (so-called Freedom Act), and especially all the inconsistencies surrounding the events leading up to, during, and after 9/11.

These aren't wacky conspiracy theories. Information is suppressed by the US government. Typically to save political face or embarrassment for its own inadequacies. To bury the hidden level of greed within the Plutocracy. To hide the face of incompetence which litters the various branches of government.

Thanks for a lack of interest or short attention span of the average US citizen.. the government gets away with such things. Life goes on.

I hate the format of this show. Six to eight talking heads, talking as quickly as they can, barely stopping to breathe, because they know they risk interruption at any sign of pause, while streams of numbers fly across the bottom of the screen. The producers can't even let people just talk, they squeeze their image into a little box, and whoosh it to the side of the screen so that they can cram in more images or video barely related to the speakers comments. Is this the cause or effect of our terribly short attention spans? God, it's so awful it makes me want to light up.

Ron Paul's problem was he didn't have any bumper sticker slogans or ideals. Everything said was long-winded (which it should be). Unfortunately, here in the states we have a short attention span.

It's the same video though. It's not about it being the same concept. Every bit of this clip has already been posted here multiple times now. This is VideoSift .. not puke the same shit dupe video .. sift. If I had a short attention span I wouldn't notice this is a combination of the SAME FUCKING SHIT that's been POSTED TO DEATH here already. You sound like somehow you get to own this place and spam whatever you believe in because it's part of your agenda but that's not how it's supposed to work here. I certainly don't want to change the subject but can we at least have some new fucking video? Because what you're doing is insulting to this site and the people here who have seen this shit many times now.
Have a little respect for the sift. Thanks!
