Someone stand up and do something. Easier said than done? Well christ how many more freedoms, in the most free country in the world, are you going to give up before this stops?


Suggestions? I think that if the protests and sit-ins of the sixties taught us anything as a nation, it's that the government doesn't give a damn about massive protests. Because all the protestors grow up, move to the suburbs and get corporate jobs. Sad as it is to say, in this day and age I think getting this shit on the news where it's disseminated to people who aren't at their keyboards 24-7 is a reasonable start.

And as deeply disturbing as it is to say it, this is why the Tea Party exists in the US. They want smaller Federal government, because the government can't possibly oversee all the things it needs to. So there's your example of people standing up and doing something, even if they're 99% abhorrent.

Not sure where that leaves those of us who don't care for the Tea Party but are creeped out that our government delegates its job to 18-year-old high school grads and manager-types who think it's okay to 1) detain a woman for an hour to punish her for asking for special screening of her breast milk, 2) separate children from their parents to frisk them, 3) trick news reports about the opt-out protests by simply not using the machines, 4) et cetera, et cetera... I guess that's why we're all online forwarding and commenting on videos like this.

Howdy lehall- You're all fixed up. Welcome back to the Sift!

This is incredible! Japanese claymation zombie short film -- totally badass.

Whoa. Talk about an alien landscape! The sheer scale of that thing is terrifying.

I can't upvote this because the actual call is about 45 seconds long, and the rest is commentary I just skipped through to get to the goods. Maybe if it had a different title, like "College commentators riff on Obama call." As it stands though, it's misleading.

@ant - The music video you're thinking of is "MEG - Precious", with shadow puppeteers, dancing, magic and most importantly, kitties! http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3394071/9490332

Oops...I am here! I'm new to VideoSift so I was just watching to kind of get the feel for how the commenting usually goes.

As for the video - I am fascinated by this place, and like Camhuffman, I donated even though I'm short on cash. Now that I know they give tours, a trip might be in order, the next time I'm in California!

Also, I'm so glad this got sifted...I always seem to find the craziest stuff on YouTube, so I'm glad to finally have a place to share 'em. Mwaha! Many thanks to all who have commented and upvoted. I'm glad to be a part of such an interesting community.
