I never understood why she had to be so rude on the show. Ruined it for me. And it's ruined her reputation here in the UK as a TV presenter, as everyone now thinks of her as a sarcastic bitch who ruins game shows by being needlessly antagonistic and hostile towards the contestants instead of a reasoned and intelligent current affairs presenter with a twinkle in her eye, as she was formerly.

It's the character in the show, they are meant to be mean...
eg. Aus version (which came out after the US version) has a woman that resembles Anne Robinson in both demeanour and attitude (not to mention red head + stern glasses).

I know that, but you see it was Anne Robinson's idea to present the show this way. She never used to be like this.

It gives her magical powers. If she didn't have that hair she could only play "Twinkle, Twinkle."

But thousands upon thousands of people seem to disagree with me and I don't know why...

It's soft-core porn with delusions of Twilight.


While soft core porn is perhaps leaning in the right direction. You must take into account that it is on HBO and 'all' of their shows could qualify as soft core porn.

And as to twilight wanna be. You do know it is based upon a series of novels written starting in 2001, where as the twilight series began about 7 years later (according to Wiki, I cannot stand those movies so I'm sure I'd dislike the books.) The vampires of True Blood are much more traditional in their attitudes, ambitions and for many, their attitude towards humanity. And above all, they certainly don't twinkle in the sunlight, they cook.

As a child of the 60's, I remember this as being one of the first songs I learned. I think "Happy birthday" and maybe "Twinkle Twinkle little star" came first. That being said, none of these are, or ever will be on my Ipod.

Same here!

no one loves me either ... sigh
but that's ok. Me and snuggles and twinkles and stardust and the rest of the kitties all baked a cake and shared our special day together.
Then snuggles started to cut himself and it got weird after that ..
but the cake was really good!

rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Yeah, it gets a little boring sometimes, Enoch, but what doesn't? The place is what you make of it for the most part. Lots of people, including me have their complaints and things they'd like to change. Still I'm fairly convinced it's the Best Little Town on the Internet as far as community goes. I'm still convinced that the work we do here is pretty groundbreaking for how communities organize themselves on the Web. I haven't hung out in many forums, but VideoSift seems to me to have more user empowerment and self-moderation than any I've seen. Dag and Lucky keep a very loose hand on the reins. Things often run amuck because of it, but we learn a lot when that happens.

So don't say goodbye, say "see ya later", and take a break. Come back and post some videos because I appreciate you're unique perspective and it adds to the diversity of thought, even if you think no one appreciates it. Keep in mind that there are thousands of unregistered users reading what you write. Your voice is important.

Send along some of your prose, but be forewarned that I am a ruthlessly constructive critic. I'd say that a full 80% of my waking life is spent in creative pursuits, and the process is very sacred to me.

Anyway, see ya later. I find two weeks is all it takes to make me miss the Sift.

this place is beginning to bore me.yet i find myself reticent to leave my fave fuzzy friend who wears the funny hats.anarchist ministers are not welcome here,that has become painfully obvious.

maybe there was a point in time where stirring things up and helping people perceive things from a different view brought a twinkle to my eye,bit now it just bores me.
nobody is interested in anything different,just the same regurgitated crap.
its like watching one big group circle jerk.
some great people,just...boring.

ill still post some videos.i know some will appreciate them,but i dont feel any urge to participate in giving free reach-arounds.
i been spending much of my time writing anyways,and i have been having a pretty good discussion with iamtheblurr.he seems a decent sort.
if you are interested i can throw ya a link to some of my material.its not half bad,for a hack like me.
keep fighting the good fight brother,you a cool cat.
stay cool brother..stay cool.

Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag
When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
With an apple for my teacher cause I knew Id get a kiss
Always got mad when the class was dismissed
But when it was in session, I always had a question
I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
Help me with my problem, it was never much
Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
She was married to the man, he was a thug,
His name was lee, he drove a z,
Hed pick her up from school promptly at three oclock
I was on her jock, yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus
First Id write her name then carve a plus,
With my name last, on the looking glass,
I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass

She keeps on passin me by...

When I dream of fairytales I think of me and shelly
See shes my type of hype and I cant stand when brothers tell me
That I should quit chasin and look for something better
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
I havent gone as far as asking if I could get with her
I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture
Im shootin for her heart, got my finger on the trigger
She could be my broad, and I could be her (nigga)
But, all I can do is stare...
Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
Now shes more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated
Not at all over-rated, I think I need a prayer
To get in her boots and it looks rather dry
I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
Although shes crazy steppin, Ill try to stop her stride
Cause I wont have no more of this passin me by

And I must voice my opinion of not even pretending she didnt have me
Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie
She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan
Dude, she looked good, down side: she had a man
He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop
She told me soon your little birdies gonna fly the coop
She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand
By lettin her pass I had proved to be a better man

She keeps on passin me by...

Now there she goes again, the dopest ethiopian
And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion
When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye
Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?
Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistance;
And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance
From a distance I desired, secretly admired her;
Wired her a letter to get her, and it went:
My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well
Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp
Damn I wish I wasnt such a wimp!
cause then I would let you know that I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, ps love me tender
The letter came back three days later: return to sender
Damn!
