Good series of play throughs. Looks like my first character'll be the Monk

Passed out and humped by a dog...let's see, how could this get any worse?

Furry drops by for a threesome?
Tibetan monk REALLY wants that spot for a self-immolation protest?
High school bus stop?

I think there should be some limits on shorter clips, at least. Something along the lines of what lucky proposed as quoted above, but maybe simpler.

Maybe something as simple as a video's got to be "long" before excerpts are allowed and an excerpt can't be more than 25% of the original. That still seems overly complicated. Maybe excerpts need to be "brief", though that would probably not fly with the pro-excerpt crowd.

Allowing a 50 minute "excerpt" of a 60 minute documentary seems really crazy to me. Why not just get rid of the dupe rule all together at that point?

You're all 5 months late to the party.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Terry Jones' Medieval Lives 2 - The Monk. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

I actually took Religion in High School. It was an interesting class to say the least, but didn't sway my opinions on anything religion wise.

In fact, it was one of my reasons for becoming an Atheist. It's where I found out that Jesus wasn't the first "Miraculous" birth, in fact, Zoroaster and Buddha were also born in the exact same fashion.

My favourite part of the class, however, was the field trip. We went to three places, a Hindu temple, a Mosque, and a Buddhist temple.

Hindu temple and Mosque were interesting, but nothing special. The Buddhist temple though was nifty, I walked into the main hall and there were 3 giant golden Buddha statues there, with thousands of candles lit around the room. I was amazed by this, and eager to learn about it expecting our tour guide to be a monk of sorts.

Turns out he was a little middle-aged white guy, who turned out to be a dick. When asked "Why did you become a Buddhist?" we all expected some result that included soul searching, or because of it's outlook on everything. The exact answer we got was "Well, my friends were something different, so I decided to be different, too."

Needless to say, by the end of our tour, none of us were too impressed with this guy. Chinese new years was coming up so they showed us the basement that was being decorated in silks and lanterns, and looked pretty cool. The guide asked us "So, any of you know how to say 'Happy new year' in Chinese?" with a slight smirk on his face.

I looked him square in the eye and said "Happy new year in Chinese."

That's when we got kicked out of the temple.

Worth it.

it's like the theme to TV's "Monk", the first season

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

This is fantastic - the tortoise is actually pretty fast. Is the guy a bhuddist monk? The robes look like it.

Jesus and Robin Hood and Socrates, and any other popular figures from more than a couple of centuries ago, have their existence/non existence blurred with legends, stories and all sorts of stupid demented bullshit to the point where no one really knows what the story is. Anyone who claims to is lying.

You take the good stuff and kind of hope they were like that. Christianity is the selective filtering of some ancient stories from an uneducated diseased fearful superstitious population of people who rarely lived past 35, warped to suit the morality and power structure of a succession of morally dubious civilisations in which the ones with the big hats claiming to know more about what 'god' thinks are invariably FAR more like the self righteous fat ruling class who had Jeebs nailed up. If that actually happened. I mean , if Jeebs was real enough to drive a nail through - they certainly nailed up thousands in that time.

I mean what about the pope/nuns/monks/water into wine etc etc? That's not in the bible. People add, and remove, whatever they want to suit their purpose. They don't seem to be afraid of retribution for it, so either they have a HUGE ego (god will agree with me!) or they don't really believe in any of that shit. The pope sure as hell doesn't, or he'd clean up the Vatican bank sharpish.

Shiny may be bonkers but at least he's not wearing a silly hat in a golden city tricked from the poor and desperate, shouting at Africans that the fantasy god he has violently imposed on them will hate them for using Jonnies to stop Aids.

Well considering that the Jeebs is probably a fictional character altogether , it's not surprising that there is differences between the ways different authors imagined him to be.

Man. I spent the entire clip cringing in anticipation of the cowboy mocking his partner mercilessly but instead he just smiles sweetly.
I miss the 80s.

You gotta watch the show! It's all sorts of 80s/90s cheese but it's the product of David Lynch so it's anything but what you expect. Kyle MacLachlan is an experienced FBI agent, enlightened in the ways of the Tibetan monks and the "cowboy" is a simple but open minded sheriff who runs a secret police in Twin Peaks, California. Anyway, they're trying to solve a murder in a town with supernatural undertones. This show is all about the details.


I thought they were in Twin Peaks, Oregon? OR! REE! GON!

EDIT: Sorry, that was Teresa Banks. It's Twin Peaks, Washington.

Also, sorry enoch but this is a dupe. The original is right there at the bottom of the page in the related videos.

meh../shrugs.
if someone else sees it that way they are free to dupe.
i thought this was interesting and was unaware of the other video.
the other video is the complete show and the points you make in comparison are valid but technically this is not a duplicate but rather a clip.
my feelings will not be hurt if someone dupes this video nor will i harbor any ill will to anybody who does.
it is a video..a good one...but still a video and i have no emotional attachment to it.
it started a great conversation and it was again seen by many who may have also been unaware of the existence of the other video.
mission accomplished.
