In the spirit of Godwin, I propose a new internet law that describes the inevitability of the MSNBC false equivalency whenever a comment or topic criticizes FOX news.

I love ya, choggie, and VS is way better and more interesting with you here, but this dog just don't hunt.

I think the days of intrepid journalism are largely over for most of the news sources you mentioned, but there still are pockets of resistance to the inanity that passes as news in America. Regardless of whichever political ideolgy you most identify with, you cannot dismiss MSNBC as opposite but equal to FOX. MSNBC is most definitely liberal/progressive, but they wear it on their sleeve, and their spin is backed by facts and reality. FOX spins everything, and completely misinforms it's viewers fans by simply making shit up, not to mention the ubiquitous fear-mongering, the subliminal programming of their crawl, the always-angry, paranoid, petty, spiteful, and shrill talking heads, and the daily memo'd bullet points that are regurgitated verbatim and hammered into the brains of their veiwers all day long from show to show. The dolts on FOX and Friends have got to be the three DUMBEST people ever to thousand-yard stare into a camera. FOX is "news entertainment" at best.

There are infinite shades of gray between black and white, and MSNBC is definitely biased, but you can't say it isn't factual (the vast majority of time). If there was a true "equal but opposite" version of MSNBC, I would watch it. Unfortunately, FOX serves only as a source of amusement for me. "No Spin Zone" makes me giggle every time Papa Bear says it. It's brilliant parody.

That said, we agree that Americans are largely low information because low information is exactly what we get from the news sources readily available. But the "truth" is out there if one cares enough to go look for it.

I like the message.
I don't like the nearly subliminal "water.org" voices.

At 1:03 there's a single frame showing the red smiley face. (subliminal fail?)

It's not so much a prediction as he forces you into that corner. It's mathematically impossible to choose any other square.

Subliminal word play (like a BM or an XBOX)...BMX, and subliminal background objects (the tape player like a bikes wheels, theres something else around that looks like two wheels and a chain draped between them).

The power of subliminal messaging.

Look closely at Ryan while Biden points. If Ryan had a pistol, Biden would be ventilated.

Ryan's subliminal mantra "coronary, embolism, massive stroke, shotgun"

But god DAMN that was a nice Half-Life reference with the crowbar and pickup sound!

Sheesh. A few too many imho. Portal cube, headcrab in the jar, lambda symbols all over the place. Talk about subliminal advertising. It's not like Valve needs any........more.......awesome games! Valve is the best developer ever! I love this video! I'm gonna go load up Half-Life 2.

Have you had a look at the Black Mesa overhaul of Half-Life 1?
Oh, and I think I spy a Portal turret and possibly a picture on the wall with Gordon.


Oh yes. They did a lot of good things in that mod; and some bad. Ladders, for one. There's also another team working on recreating Opposing Force for Source.

I'm thinking this is a *viral commercial for the camera in a double blind -- looks like it is for popsicle but really it is for the camera.

Subliminal viral? Is this a new thing or am I just being paranoid about the ways of the intertubes?

That's interesting...but the jury is in on Subliminal messages, they simply do not work. What works is words and propaganda. They don't need subliminal messaging to control us, we're already docile cows gobbling up whatever they wanna throw at us. Especially on the internet where you can get a cult following going with some bullshit video and some bullshit facts, thank you 9/11 Truthers for proving that one.

I don't get how we can't make a viral video with this sort of impact that helps our own lives? I mean why can't we put something together about how the government has been driven underground in the 80s and has been waging secret Wars? Or how about right now...Obama is waging a secret war in Africa and we're just in the dark about it, how is that allowed to continue? I say we elect him and impeach him...Obama 2012!

no of course not, none of my videos are ever dupes... plus if they are, they contain a subliminal track for a value-added experience

That frame isn't in the Big Brother video. It's a short frame from th start of this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3dhb57vur0 which started playing very briefly before they cut to the next commercial immediately, because they'd sequenced the commercials poorly.


I thought that sign on the stadium said "NRL". Mystery solved, nothing to see here folks.

Not a sports fan? What happened, did a 100m runner touch you in a bad place?

If only. For a couple of weeks the Olympic Park is going to become an almost unique world location in that you could napalm the whole fucking place and no-one of any value could possibly be hurt. That and the big gay cube in Mecca.

Unlike your house where you could napalm the place year round and the rest of us would just celebrate.
