THANK YOU ISSYKITTY!

Sucks doesn't it? I initially didn't comprehend how incredibly lame that is because I didn't lose any powers... but I am starting to see now how that changes a lot of things now that the majority of you hardworking sifters have lost one of the coolest powers available. I regret not pitching a fit over that.

Alas, my promote and save power were taken as soon as I received them

Once again, I beg y'all... if somebody out there has the power and the spare promote, use it! I'd like to see this thing in the top 15 before Gawker gets its' ass sued. And also, if you see this thing go dead, and you have an alternate embed, don't be shy, fix that code toot sweet and get it out of the deadpool! The insanity must be shared!

Nice articles Doc! It's good to see this is getting press.

I think one of the most telling facets of the Scientology organization is that they disallow their members to seek psychiatric help... um, hello, could that maybe be because they don't want their members finding out from a third party that they have been brainwashed?

Congrats Thylan! You're definitely one of my favorite recent additions to the sift, I'm glad you finally snagged a gold star, and I know you will use those powers for good!

Congrats! Enjoy the uber-bling... seems like just yesterday you were that pesky lil' noob who kept dead-ing everyone's videos and then making playlists outta em... you've come so far! I'm ever so proud! *sniff*

Awesome sift Thylan! Although I think you need to end your summation of its underlying themes with "The More You Know", I think that would be most appropriate.

SP = Suppressive Person: An enemy of the Scientology. As L. Ron Hubbard puts it, "SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."
PTS is a "Potential Trouble Source", someone in contact with an SP. Maybe that's what Cruise is referring to when he mentions PTSP.


That's some scary shit... and you know what, all of us, everyone one of us who has commented on this vid, or voted for it, is now a Suppressive Person... get ready to hand over your property and be beaten by Scientologists... I, for one, am sure they can't wait to get their hands on all my comic books! Bastards!

^ Oops, sorry Fed, I didn't see that new code, so I went ahead and fixed it with an embed from the Gawker site that Linz hacked for me... once again, THANK YOU LINZ! YOU RULE! It looks like we may finally have a stable link for this... at least until the Xenites said their legal squadron after Gawker. Enjoy it while it lasts folks!

WOW IT WORKED!! OMG!! That is so awesome! Thank you so much for doing that for me! I am so totally going to save the code for this and use it in the future... I am always finding Gawker vids I crave to post! YOU RULE LINZ! THANK YOU ONE HUNDRED MILLION TIMES!

Hello Raven,
as expected, the Tom Cruise vid got pulled on youtube, but I THINK this code might work for embedding from Gawker. It's just that I don't have the star points to do it myself. Do you want to use it to fix your dead video?
If so, try this:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/util/videoModule.swf" style="" name="videoPlayer" quality="best" scale="noscale" salign="tl" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="videoURL=Cruise_Scientology_video.flv" height="376" width="475">

Wow... well that lil number you did has got just about everything... its gonna be hard to top!

So, Kuwait and Turkey are considered 'not free', but ____________ is 'partly free'... wtf? How does that work? In Turkey's case is it the problems with the PKK and the crackdowns in the Eastern areas that are factoring this in? And in the case of Kuwait is it due to the social restrictions, media censorship and the 'guest worker' human rights issues? Or is it something else? Because those issues seem to pale in comparison to the overall brutality of the _________ regime, yet ____________ ranks above both other countries as 'partly free'.

Well, clearly LOLcats are a threat to the democracy and freedoms of the people of ___________ (I shall fill in the blank once you are safely abroad- or we can leave it and it will be like Mad Libs!).

Anyway, do your best to hang in there, I'll see to it that you get a daily LOLcat fix in your email, as I'm sure lack of them is gnawing away at your soul by now.

Oh, I don't really care enough... and anyway, it got to be bothersome to keep replacing the code, because honestly, I have never been able to figure out how to steal vids from Gawker... I've looked over the source code for their pages numerous times and the only things 'stealable' would be the java call up for their own player, and the name of the vid's file, but they have cleverly omitted the entire file path of the vid, and without knowing that and being able to pinpoint where the file is on their servers, there is no way of getting it to display on another website... at least, this is as far as I know, maybe somebody out there with more code ninja skills could do it, but if so, they have yet to make themselves known.

So anyway, you keep it, clearly you could use the star point more than I and anyway, I've already had my fill of laughing at Xenu's minions... or maybe I haven't... so perhaps I'll go over to yer post and keep it up some.

Sorry, Raven, I didn't know you'd already posted the Tom Cruise vid. Are you able to embed the one hosted by the Gawker site? They claim that they won't be removing it, so it should be more stable. I posted the address is in the description for the vid. You can bring yours back to life and kill this one.

yes, it is... don't ever let anyone tell you that America is a real democracy.
