I'd be willing to bet at least some of the women in the audience are either plants or really obsessed fans - but still, props to the guy who keeps bringing up the house lights.

That's got to be the most surreal day those drivers will ever experience.

As someone said on digg, it shows a distinct lack of faith on the part of these people that they feel they have to accelerate what they believe is prophesied to happen.

This would suck if the music hadn't been stolen from the LOTR score. Turning it into dance pop makes it funny.

Love the pun at the very end.

I love Tina Fey for the same reason I love female singer-songwriters; beautiful, but there's more going on there.

I still don't get posting movie trailers, unless the purpose is to pad your published count.

zeth sounds like choggie, only slightly more intelligible.

If you actually want to debate, you have to think a little deeper than "hey, everyone sucks".

That's an animated gif with sound (or YTMND) - not a video.

He's like Penn & Teller, without the intelligence.
And charisma.
And...

I nominate quantumushroom, for actually getting other Sifters to defend his exhortations to wipe out entire cultures.

Huzzah!

joedirt = head in the sand

I was going to ask if repeated calls for genocide are kosher, where the line is drawn - but clearly, there is no line.

Every other reputable site that allows comments has a system to notify moderators when someone is abusing their privileges; no one accuses Digg or Fark of Draconianism when they kiss obvious trolls goodbye.

As the racist comments thread above demonstrates, the number of people coming to VS to troll is multiplying; again, if that's the kind of behavior you want to tolerate, I'll go elsewhere and I imagine others will follow.

Or maybe you believe controversy will increase traffic, and you'll have a formerly great community at each other's throats. Either way, it's not something I'd want to support.

How dare you expect people to treat other cultures with respect? That's not what this country was founded on!

For the last time, VS is a commercial venture (isn't it?), and the speech is only as "free" as the venture allows. There's an untapped market out there somewhere for bigots and threatening speech, and I think it's genius for the site to give them a place at the table.

In that spirit, I leave you all with a resounding "kill whitey"!

It's the height of hilarity to read QM saying "hate is a waste of time", as each and every one of his posts are soaked in it.

Comment moderation (i.e. "digging down") won't eliminate his moronic comments; it'll draw even more attention to them and fuel his dopey crusade.

He's right about VS being a commercial venture - and if the mods want the site to have the reputation of being unwilling to ban people who make threats, then it is to their financial detriment.
