LOL. I posted the Leia belly dance clip because it was knowingly silly and fun - not for its technical merit!

This clip however - though I'm no belly dancing connoisseur - is impressive!

By definition 'hypocrisy' means -

"The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess" (The American Heritage - http://www.answers.com/topic/hypocrisy)

And as you quite rightly state, opinons and beliefs can change, so I concede that phrase wasn't strictly appropriate in the general context I used it - unless he still uses recreational drugs on the quiet ;-)

But surely prominent people in a position of power should have a clean past to be effective role models? If a child discovers their idol didn't always practice what they preach, they could easily interpret that behaviour as hypocritical. In their eyes, why should they live by the present principles of their idol when they have done exactly the opposite before?

Arnold supports the war on drugs. A noble cause, but kinda hypocritical don't you think?

yep, didn't think this one was going to make it :-)

Well it has been sitting on the blog for around 6 hours at the time I'm typing this post. I'm sending it back:

Hmm, perhaps some system could be devised whereby a user can join but not post clips. This community is driven by 'clicks' - we don't want to hobble the voting aspect in any way. Maybe new members should be prevented from posting clips until they have contributed a certain number of votes, or something along those lines?

I stumbled upon this site a couple of days ago. A great resource - and well done on getting VideoSift listed on there! The extra attention it will bring to VideoSift may result in an influx of new members, which is great, but may exacerbate the already large queue situation! I know concerns have already been expressed about this.

My definition of a snuff video falls in line with Dag's, so I'm ok with returning this clip to the queue (regardless of whether the red car driver perished or not).

Sorry, it's a dupe:

Did a search before posting this well known music video, but couldn't find it. What is strange is that after posting this clip it isn't appearing in the search either - which means it could already have been posted... The site coders might want to look into this search issue.

Cool clip, though it has been posted before:

This clip of course is from the popular British comedy series 'Red Dwarf', which was later released as a single - reaching #17 in the UK charts.

I believe it's the Canary Wharf area featured in the clip.

For general info you can always have a gander at what has been posted on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpack - within this article the 'Rocket pack in our time' section may be of interest.
