  - 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.

Mansun: Taxloss - free money stunt

1 decade 5 years 9 months ago

To promote their 1997 single "Taxloss", the band Mansun hurled £25,000 (approx US$36,000) worth of £5 notes over an unsuspecting crowd of commuters at London's Liverpool Street Station during the morning rush hour. Directed by Roman Coppola, they filmed the resulting chaos and subsequent news coverage and used it as the promo video for the single. All before the age of viral videos and flashmobs!
(The song hasn't really stood the test of time, but it was something of a hit, very much typifying the alt-Britpop sound.)

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

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter FlowersInHisHair.
