Being a Canadian resident, you might like this video, posted by a probie. I think it's pretty cool. It looks like something you might post.

EDIT: Duckman took care of it. It's working now.

Okay, it's almost done. For some reason *the dead invocation didn't work yet, probably because siftbot now thinks it's unsifted, for whatever stupid reason. Go ahead and upvote it, then try the *dead invocation yourself. Hopefully that will do the trick and replace the embed automatically with a backup.

Well I want to get the original back alive because it's up at the top for Google search results already, for terms relating to a similar Mythbusters experiment done a month or two ago. Plus all the other stuff like preserving comments, etc.

Donate your points!

Nice find. Don't forget to vote for your own video - It's not only allowed, but expected. Happy sifting!

Well put.

That will happen about the same time people don't decide to put videos like that into a * wtf category.

Thanks. I wish other people would be a little more open-minded. Maybe in another generation or two a story like this won't be surprising. One can hope.

I understand what you're saying, rottenseed. I suppose I wasn't clear with my wording. Just because my little brother sometimes liked to pretend to be a girl and play with a lot of girl toys didn't automatically mean he was going to be gay. When I wrote, "If you haven't guessed by now, he's gay..." I meant that you might guess where I was going with this story, given the topic at hand. I wasn't trying to suggest that occasional girl-like behavior in a boy meant that the boy inevitably will become a gay man. My bad.

In regard to tedbater's comment, as bananafone and I mentioned, she didn't have surgery. She's now being treated as a girl instead of a boy, but no surgical reassignment has taken place. The parents consulted a specialist about this and learned as much as they could about transgenderism before they started treating her as a girl. Maybe you consider that disgusting as well. I don't know. Regardless, the issue itself isn't as cut and dried as you might believe. Neither of us are experts, and I can tell the parents didn't approach the issue lightly. I think their approach to this deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Whoa. A side of you I've never seen before. And all she was trying to do was promote interracial sexiness.

How long has it been?

You're terminated motherfucker!

Glad to do it. As someone who came of age in the '80s, it brilliantly encapsulated the Debbie Gibson/Tiffany phenomena, as well as the materialism of the era. And it was funny.

Stick around for a while, why dontcha?

Thanks muchly for fixing "Let's go to the Mall" for me. I hadn't gotten around to it yet.

You're right, it is a dupe. I tried to fix your dead video with the embed ant used, so that's how I caught it. Anyway, find someone else to *isdupe it (I already did the *dupeof invocation), then you can fix it.

Hey, I just noticed you got your silver star. Good show.

You bet. Besides, I'd like more people to learn from the genius that is otherwise known as westy.

Hey, you finally got your gold star. Congrats! And it only took three and a half years. Snap!

I fixed this video with a slightly shorter version. I hope that's okay. If so, you may want to change the time from 1:13 to 51 sec. If not, you can always mark it as *dead again. Your call.

Thank ya, brutha!
