this made me very happy on a bad day.

Ok this is weird. It's working now, mobile and full site. The you tube frames look different now than they have for me for a while though. Now they look what I think of as traditional, and when they weren't working there was what looked like an extra visual frame around the video.

I have a normal ipad1 running 1.4. No jailbreak.

huh. That's weird. It's definitely working for me. I'm on my iPad right now. Are you jail broken or are there any tweaks happening?>> ^lucky760:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I actually wasn't aware of any issues with VideoSift on the iPad.
As of a couple months ago, we are now using YouTube's iframe video embeds which allows YouTube to select the appropriate video format specifically for your browser, so I'm not sure why that would be causing a problem. I, unfortunately, don't have an iPad to test with, but I think @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://dag.videosift.com" title="member since February 16th, 2006" class="profilelink"><strong style="color:#008800">dag does, so maybe he can do a little bit more technical debugging and get some idea what the issue might be.

I keep expecting that you know this because so many people use tablets these days, but it isn't changing and I see no others mentioning it: I can't watch video sift bids any more on my iPad. I can't even cluck through to YouTube anymore. My only chance is to actually go to YouTube and search for it, which is not a fun way to use videosift.
If I try, the embed blinks, but no dice. Been this way for a bit. C

That's so cool, Sarzy!

Hey, Arvana, I just unknowingly duped your video, but I think my embed is better. I didn't know if I should kill it before you saw it (my embed is not blocked and misses some pointless introduction stuff and doesn't have useless border decorations). I will happily kill mine after you see it: http://videosift.com/video/Jim-Gilliam-The-Internet-is-my-religion

I wish I could have upvoted this comment 5 times.

Those cackling hags are NOT feminists, they're stupid dicks. That being said, this loudmouth needs to get some perspective and not decide what feminism is based on a few singular situations.
For every story of a woman being treated preferentially (NOT what feminism is about btw), there are a million and one cases of misogynous abuse, lack of equal rights, rape perps and wife-killers walking free, "honour" killings, etc etc etc.
Most feminists will be the first to call out the hateful ignorance of situations like the one above, because it goes completely against what feminism is about, i.e. equal treatment. The way I see it, those dimwits (and anyone else who found this story funny instead of tragic) had something of an "Osama's death" moment, rejoicing over something unethical out of a sense of revenge for past (and present) misdeeds. Instead of using this situation to talk about the other side of what equality means - i.e. that women can be criminal/crazy/violent too - they took the low road of laughing at someone's mutilation. Shame on them, not on feminism.

Usually I feel like if I post a video, I'm just posting something earlier than others and I make no difference, but the four I have in my queue now have been out quite a while and I thought they were all gems, so I posted them. Not much action on them (which is a frustrating thing about gems one finds), so I'm happy you noticed!

I can't believe no one voted for this!

I'm surprised this didn't go higher. These folks always do such a great job. They don't just autotune, they create autotune high art!

Is this a thing? There are several videos like this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I0Ldg8qIwo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I can't tell which came first. The version posted here has some down votes.

To be clear, its the comment stream that ooks me out. The original video was banal and unpleasant. Worthy of downvote. Ho-hum. Move on. But the comment stream was disgusting. The kind of thing that makes me glad that my real name and address are not obvious to the rabble here.

But the VS regulars behave poorly when poked. And I sympathized with those in favor of rabid free speech. I just wish more of their free speech was devoted to evidence that they appreciated what a culture of violence and female-centered hate does to the world.

You, my dear nexus of the rotten, are one of the ones I think kindly of. I think the community behaves poorly when challenged. And I really am pro-free-speech and all. I just wish there was a bit more evidence that people understood some of the more glaring aspects of what I think of a progressive reality as it relates to gender.

I don't come here very often anymore. When I do, this is the ONE representation of the sift showing up on the front page.
I think wanting to put this on the front page was misguided. I also think bringing this up makes all the people behaving the worst feel all warm and fuzzy about their willingness to speak the truth in the face of obsessive political correctness. I see a few comments from people I think well of, but honestly, I would rather not have seen any of it.
There will always be disgusting things here. Keep them clearly labled, and I will avoid them. I read this because I was sympathetic to the topic, but I wish I hadn't. THIS POST, and not the original video, is why I, a woman, don't come here very often.


For you I will behave. There's some people that, without, the sift is lacking
