Wait for it...

We're posting videos that aren't even published yet now????

*music

Watch it on http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/07/21/weird-al-yankovic-wraps-8-days-of-videos-with-mission-statement-exclusive/ ... first. It's exclusive on there, but not other web sites.

*dead
come on, posting un-released videos so you can beat others to it? What's up with that?
I'll also give it a *blocked
Too bad sifty doesn't listen to me, someone else will have to take up the banner and fix this.

And what's up with those of you up-voting a video you haven't watched? Come on now.

Invocations (dead, blocked) cannot be called by newtboy because newtboy is not privileged - sorry.

Sorry, I'm making an executive decision and saying this is patently unacceptable.

You can't intentionally submit a dead video, despite that it will come out at some future point, and also cast votes on a non-existent video. Plus, it's spamming the front page with non-content.

*Discard for now, but please feel free to promote once it's actually working.

Discarding this post - discard requested by member lucky760.

Just for the record, I did not intentionally post a dead or unpublished video.

@Sagemind @newtboy @lucky760
As you can see, it has already been published and there is an option to get the embed code of the video. There is no way of knowing that the embedded video will turn out like this before you embed it somewhere. This has also been the case with the "First World Problems" video, for which I was able to find a viable embed code several hours after I first posted it here and although people tried to watch it before that, nobody complained about it, so I thought it was okay and I decided not to kill it.

I did not post an unpublished video to beat anyone to it. I hoped to be able to find a better way to embed this video, as I managed to do with the other one.
If I really cared that much about beating people to posting a video, I'd be very disappointed all the time, because in 9 out of 10 cases I try to post a video, it has already been sifted.

Sorry, I don't know the history of your post. It was just reported that it seemed a non-working video was intentionally posted.

I've taken it out of the discard pile and put it in your Personal Queue so that it's still a viable post and a subsequent submission will not render your (discarded) post a dupe.

I finally found a working embed for this video.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

On the up-side. What a great video. Really - pulls in the synergistic angles. Way to think outside the box @Lilithia. ;-)

*promote

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by eric3579.

Sounds like Phish...

RSA *animation

Adding video to channels (Animation) - requested by Trancecoach.

I filled my buzzword bingo card!

This was my favorite of the 8. He saved the best for last, and really knocked it out of the park.

@Trancecoach, If it sounds like Phish, it's because Phish sounds like Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young). Phish came at least a decade later.

Do you really think I don't know CSN&(sometimes)Y?

This still sounds a lot like Phish who, along with CSNY, sound a lot like Allman Brothers.

Wowzers! This is absolutely incredible, *quality entertainment. I can't decide which one I like better ... this masterpiece or Word Crimes

*doublepromote

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by PlayhousePals.

Double-Promoting this video back to the front page; last published Monday, July 21st, 2014 8:10am PDT - doublepromote requested by PlayhousePals.

Having just run two companies, this is an enjoyable listen but makes me realize just how much corporate jargon I can stammer out in an elevator pitch.

Here's a *backup=[...snipped...] from the official YT channel - doesn't seem to be blocked either...

Added alternate embed code for this video - backup requested by Zawash.

"People who live where you live arent allowed to watch this video"
I´ve already seen this video like 5 or 6 times where should I go to turn myself in?

This is some *quality talk. You're so *money!

This video has already declared quality - ignoring quality request by Krupo.

I find meatbag Krupo to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by Krupo.

Damnit, it's *money too!

Adding video to channels (Money) - requested by Krupo.
