COLBERT WAS RIGHT! It's only a matter of time until car driving, sandvich powered bears conquer the earth!

I think ridicule is the best way to destroy nonsensical groups like the Tea Party. Anyone remember “Clan of the Fiery Cross”, the Superman adventures which mocked the KKK?

Of course, those were broadcast nationally in a time of little choice when it comes to media AND had presidential backing. Can you imagine Obama committing in such a manner to the destruction of the Tea Tards? Ah! Think not.

As we all know, rational argument is wasted on them so the best means of attack is to make them look as stupid as they actually are. Even still, with the media fragmentation of today, they can probably live in their own little fantasy world forever (but hopefully unable to do more damage).

This isn't news, it's more of an ego-stroking bromance.


WHAT?

Grayson! Grayson! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT



But seriously, american politics are batshit crazy.

My memory might be fuzzy but wasn't Kerrigan a brunette?

Only took you 12 years Blizzard, you big tease. I feel like an ex-con going home to my face-lifted girlfriend.

Hey EMPIRE, iberian backup here.

Also as a portuguese I have to say this did wonders for the drug problem. I was but a wee lad but I still remember some of the shitty, shitty, oh so shitty swaths of Lisbon infested with drug addicts. Casal Ventoso comes to mind, looking like a gigantic dung pile right as you enter Lisbon from the 25 de Abril bridge. Mind you, it's still no place to go pick flowers, but the improvement is visible.

As for myself, I lived on the ground floor of an apartment building in the middle of some projects. Next to our house was this apartment block where construction was stopped halfway. The whole thing was a concrete skeleton populated with drug addicts. It's funny now but back then I was instructed to duck into a coffee house if I suspected someone was following me on my way to school. Made me feel like a commando, good times.

Anyway, these days the whole area is cleaned up and looking quite nice (they finished the damn building) and even some of the more disruptive communities seem to have integrated well into the cultural melting pot of eternal suspicion.

As for how this relates to the US, from what I have learned watching The Wire and Fox News it seems like there is a different way of seeing drug users there. Due to the link to violent crime, it looks to me like many americans see drugs = mad, rabid, possibly angy black man criminals. And since Amurka don't negociate with no gawdamn terrarists, you are stuck in an escalation loop. And I'm sad to see that it looks like nothing but a complete crisis will break it. Since the link to violent and organized crime never fully developed over here, people still look at junkies more with pity than anything else.

tl;dr: Life is better because of this. Drug addicts are lost people and fighting them is fighting yourself.

>> ^EMPIRE:

as a portuguese, I vouch for this project.
Drug addiction is a disease. A sickness, and must be dealt with as such. Not by treating addicts as criminals, but by treating them as people in need of assistance.

Since it seems that your only intention is to use this site to promote your own material, perhaps you should consider making your next sift a sponsored video submission.


Man, we are such dirt poor artists that we are a cliché. But tell you what, if we ever make any money from this stuff we will donate. Don't forget, we are still lurkers here and have much love for the sift.

Hey sifters, votes seem to have stabilized at around 70, so before we get booted out of the top 15 I want to thank you all for your attention and comments and to let you know that you bought us our first 2000 views for Big Bill Hell.

These are the first small steps for the project. When we make it big, we shall say: FIRST THERE WAS THE SIFT.

Oh, and a special thank you to kulpims for the submit and to choggie for the encouragements. I shall read them on those dark nights of the soul when I feel like barfing rather than chop footage all day just to get 3 more seconds of video done.

See you in few months

>> ^Farhad2000:

I downvoted.
No seriously that was quite entertaining.


Don't play with my heart, baby.

>> ^choggie:

^sick project there krans, you outdid your balls-out 7-yr-old gonna burn the house down while mom's not home, inner gremlin with that one.....


Thanks choggie. We strive for perfection like Kubrick and for crazy like Hunter Thompson.

Thanks Knives and burdturgler.

Man, I'm sweating bullets. Hope the Sift likes this.

Much obliged, kulpims.

Lets see if ol'Bill makes a comeback. Thank you Videosift.
