I can see how it would look ironic, but TYT clips are all cuts from their show. This particular episode had quite a bit about SOPA - including this segment.
>> ^wormwood:

Ironically, this video itself spends fully half of its time reporting news about the royal family, and provides almost no details at all about SOPA. Illustration?

I'm a bit surprised something like this could come out of Fox.

A few things regarding his 'what ifs':

"What if elections don't matter? What if they just provided the populace with meaningless participation in a process that validates an establishment that never meaningfully changes"



This is exactly what Augustus did when he made himself the first emperor of Rome - elections that mean nothing. Many have seen the repeated parallels between the fall of the Roman Republic and what is currently happening in America; is this another parallel?

"What if the widely perceived differences between [the Republican and Democratic Parties] is just an illusion?"



From the perspective of non-Americans, this has been the idea for a long time. The Democratic party is America's left-of-center/liberal party, but when compared to even the conservative parties in other 'western' countries, it is right-wing/conservative. There really is no choice in American politics.

My girlfriend's family is from Newfoundland - when she first saw this video, she thought George was pretending to not understand. Then she realized that Newfinese really doesn't make a lot of sense to the rest of us...

I have gotten used to hearing "whatta ya at?" and "where ya to?" etc., but when she's talking with her parents, I get lost pretty quickly.

What he said ^... sickening.

It's a rare product, but: www.quietmouse.com

Iceland is a fascinating country populated by equally fascinating people.

Of the "western" world, they have the highest proportion of people who accept evolution, but at the same time they have a significant portion of the population that wont dismiss the existence of elves.

Politically, they had a joke party, called The Best Party win the Reykjavik city council elections on a platform of, among other things, being opening corrupt (as opposed to secretly corrupt).

Quite an amazing place

A warning from personal experience: this is a "Digital Combat Simulator" and not a game.

I tend to be pretty detail oriented, I like flight sims and love the A-10 but after about 45 minutes of this program I was done.

I think this program could be used as a diagnostic tool to confirm if someone has asperger syndrome.

Even though I disagree with the Whitney and Filet-o-Fish ones, it's still worth an upvote.

This makes me sick. Call me a heartless bastard, but people like this, and the people who celebrate that kind of ignorance, need to be dumped into the ocean.

There is no excuse for that kind of ignorance coming from someone in the "first world".

I agree, this is a *dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/Olbermanns-Segment-on-Romney-Argument-With-AP-Reporter

This entire video, minus a single, unrelated comment, is contained in the older video.
