Just for the record, I did not intentionally post a dead or unpublished video.

As you can see, it has already been published and there is an option to get the embed code of the video. There is no way of knowing that the embedded video will turn out like this before you embed it somewhere. This has also been the case with the "First World Problems" video, for which I was able to find a viable embed code several hours after I first posted it here and although people tried to watch it before that, nobody complained about it, so I thought it was okay and I decided not to kill it.

I did not post an unpublished video to beat anyone to it. I hoped to be able to find a better way to embed this video, as I managed to do with the other one.
If I really cared that much about beating people to posting a video, I'd be very disappointed all the time, because in 9 out of 10 cases I try to post a video, it has already been sifted.

It works on http://popcrush.com/weird-al-yankovic-first-world-problems-video/ but has the same embed code as here. Maybe we site specific?

After soaking in the original video (http://videosift.com/video/Weird-Al-Yankovic-Handy-Parody-of-Fancy#comment-1779492 thanks @Lilithia), I was able to enjoy this parody much more.

And yes, I loved that line and so many others in this video.
