I posted this a few days ago, I'd call dupe, but mine is dead now... good luck keeping this one alive. I think Xenu has implanted chips in his followers that make them wet themselves or something whenever someone uploads a clip of this.

Huh... I could have swore that sifty's only sifted vid was an old B&W anime clip about a giant robot? Anyone else remember this? Or have I been smoking too much dust again?

Dude, Grimm... see my first comment!

I'm still upset at Ohio for stealing Toledo from us, those greedy pricks.


Don't be, as a Toledo girl, born and raised, I can tell you that Michigan got the better end of the deal.

As I asked in your profile, would it insult you for someone to insult a guy with a big beer belly by telling him he looks like he's carrying a baby? Would that translate to you as a sexist person insulting all pregnant women?
I take serious offense to being called a sexist jerk. I've edited my comment to not offend the gender sensitive and will say no more than that I think you are being quite a bit over-sensitive with regard to my comment.
One could be insulted by anything if one were to try hard enough.


Fine, take offense, I'm sorry it came across as sounding mean or something but I was really annoyed at the time I wrote that. I do, however, resent being called 'overly sensitive', or 'upset', because both characterizations of my reaction are, in reality a little harsh, which was more along the lines of 'annoyed', 'mildly disturbed', or 'highly disappointed'. Rest assured, once I figure out which emoticons most accurately capture those feelings, I will in the future use them extensively.

But I don't think you can say that describing a beer gut as 'looking pregnant' is in anyway as nearly sexist or misogynistic as linking intentionally malicious behavior with the female condition of menstruation... the one case is a physical observation (composed with all the tact and insight of a 3 year old perhaps, but it is still just that, a comparative observation). Your comment, however, is a direct character assault on all women because it implies that once a month we become completely irrational harpies... and while you may say that you leveled this insult at the male portion of the audience (yes, I do understand testosterone levels and the possible implications of levying the charge of 'femininity' at a male of the species), it still is an attack on women to use a physical condition that is unique to our gender (not to mention beyond our control) and the negative assumptions surrounding it, as the ammo of that insult... I suppose in some ways I can see your correlation of the fat dude looking like a pregnant woman as going along with this, but the big difference is that being fat with a beer gut is generally pretty harmless to others, as is being pregnant, however, being a completely irrational downvote fiend working out a vendetta, is not... so the implication that the cause for that is somehow a woman's period, stings quite a bit more. Do you see the difference?

I guess I was so disappointed because I had up until this point never really felt on this site that women were treated differently than men, that gross assumptions about our gender would not be used as insults, or our decisions derided as 'girly'. I suppose I was wrong, and I also supposed I should not be surprised, more and more lately I have begun to regret ever mentioning that Raven was girl, because, obviously, many of you (and I don't mean you in particular, lucky) have a hard time dealing with her as such... androgynous, unassigned Raven seemed to get a little bit more respect.

Obviously Captain, you've never been to Ohio.

All votes should mean something and that something shouldn't be that the voter was having a fit of cramps with no Midol in sight and wanted to take it out on the world at large. (Not referring to QM, btw.)


and also choggie's:

Joe's right, just cause someone posts a good viddy, doesn't mean your seething, ego-infused distaste for their track-record of dingle-berryness, should keep you from voting for it-that's obviously a girl technique,raven, that some of us don't play with......

Well, I gotta say, that's the first time I ever felt like I was spending my time on a website with a bunch of sexist jerks (basing that on comments of course and not on the plethora titty-laden vids that get sifted everyday). Thanks boys, for showing yer true colors, I'm sure Quantum Mushroom would be proud of you.

thanks but its gone already... sigh... them scientologists are quick... must be the chips they undoubtedly have planted in their brains, makes 'em wet themselves or something whenever a new copy of that is posted. Oh well, thanks again.

Well... good luck to you Thylan! May you come out of it well and all blissed out on wonderful, pain numbing drugs. We will look after things for you while you are gone, but I'm sure we won't get up to too much mischief.

Congrats Smibbo! You keep it up, Capisce?

@oxdottir and rottenseed: personally, I have had a vote embargo on QM for about a year now... I don't see it as playing into the 'popularity contest' mentality, but rather, as refusing to aid and abet a troll in his participation on this site.
This kind of behavior is just as bad. I have commonly seen people abusing QM and downvoting based on his name alone. If you want me to start trotting it out, there was a time when a little clique were abusing all of QM's videos. Granted some of the videos were just incendiary and crappy, but you should instead let those wither in the queue instead of auto downvoting on name alone. In truth QM has probably also netted over 20 inappropriate downvotes over the year(s).
Why are we correlating video votes with a person's comments? Just upvote good videos (regardless of who submits them).


I beg to differ... yes, if I were in any way ACTING against him... say consistently DOWNVOTING (vids or comments, etc)... I would agree with you... however, I chose inaction in regards to him simply because I did not want to enable him to be more of a pest on this site. I realized long ago that this was not someone I wanted to see with even bronze star powers, so I wanted no part in helping him get them.

However, I do think, if you were to look at it, I have actually voted for a few of his vids, because occasionally, he would sift something of undeniable merit... and I do quite clearly recall inviting him to join the HorrorShow after he submitted some slasher flick clips or something of that ilk, despite the fact that as a commenter he repulsed me even back then, but, on the whole, as most of his sifts were at best 'meh', I just stayed my votes... and I don't see anything wrong with that.

I had a similar strategy... although, I've got some post-polling doubts though: In doing this, are we harming the overall chances that Obama or Edwards will be elected at the DNC? Would it actually have been better to send more 'uncommitted' delegates to the convention?

Also, riddle me this... why would Obama, Edwards, et al, choose to stay off the ballot? I don't understand... I heard something about MI being stripped of its delegates at the DNC, so therefore we don't matter, or something like that.... Will someone please explain this to me without saying "Geez Raven, get with it"? I mean, usually I am pretty well informed about these things, but I have been under a rock for the last few weeks what with the start of classes and some changes in my job... I've barely had time to keep up with all the election news and I think I missed something in the last couple of weeks.

I tried to ask this stuff at the polling place, but the workers wouldn't answer it, said they weren't allowed to talk politics, and the douchey yuppies I was in line with just all kind of looked at me and smiled patronizingly.

It also sucked that there were two separate stacks of ballots, right out in front so everyone saw that I got a Republican one, and continued to smile patronizingly at me with that smug Ann Arborite smile we are all so good at... I was sooooo fucking tempted to be all like, "Yeeehawwww! Four More Years of WAR!!!! Eat that you Abortion loving Liberal Nut Jobs!!!"
