  - 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 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.

good quote @ 9:00min in ;

"I didn't even want to go to my first concert because I thought it would be too long-haired! ooh but the music is wonderful; I'm gonna go to the whole series!"

awesome

1950's American propaganda directed at it's own citizens.
Conform. Obey. Follow the crowd. Do what's expected of you by society.

This is the mindset and worldview that allowed Vietnam to happen a decade later.

needs a *long tag and yes siftbot, i know i can't invoke that b/c i've got no gold star

Gold Star invocations (long) cannot be executed by CalamityKate because CalamityKate is not a Gold Star member - sorry.

The style is easy to mock but there the points about good & bad habits seem legit - at least from the 3 minutes I could stand to watch

Upvote for kitsch value.
