  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Amazing advancements over the past couple of decades.

You know something is quality when it includes the imperfections so eerily well that the beauty becomes discomforting.. possibly enhanced by his dis-preference of the distribution quantities of frozen fruit and yogurt.

Would promote if I could.

While this doesn't slip too far into the Uncanny Valley, I think it would drop a lot further if they tried to put hair on his head.

*promote just to bug Sepacore

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by Payback because Payback is not privileged - sorry.

Moving this video to YearofthePuma's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Does this mean we are on the far side of the uncanny valley?

Soon, anyone can make a mock up video of any situation, and present it as a possible truth. At that point, no video will be truth. Disbelief will be so overwhelming, we'll descend into chaos, or be enslaved. Considering man's comfort with being dominated, it'll likely be the latter.

I for one welcome our new virtual demi-god overlords!
