@shuac is exercising his Ruby privilege to creating a new VideoSift channel. It is named *quirky and is described as follows:

The Quirky channel is mainly a subset of movies (Kubrick, Lynch, Wes Anderson, Jarod Hess, Paul Anderson, et al) but it also applies to most other visual media: art (Robert Crumb); standup comedy (Stephen Wright, Emo Phillips); television (Twin Peaks); music...pretty much any video media can be quirky.

The particular element that makes something suitable for the Quirky channel is "overtly producing something that's not necessarily meant for widespread appeal" like a piece of art that speaks to only a tiny handful of people. But it can also apply to something designed with high artistic merit that just so happens to catch on with the masses. Even television commercials can be quirky and they're most definitely designed for a mass audience so I see the Quirky channel as having great crossover appeal.

Cast your vote above to help decide whether or not the channel should be activated.
