“they removed embed on your video:
http://www.videosift.com/video/I-Love-To-Singa-Warner-Bros-1936
maybe you can get someone to upload it to Silvercord's catchall youtube account and change the embed ?”
No biggie and thanks for the apology.

“sorry bout that. probably shouldnt have downvoted...
i think i just took that video being in the parody collective a little too seriously at the time... again i apologize
In reply to your comment:
“wtf is with the downvote? is chalk art offensive to you?
In reply to your comment:
“what imitation and what humorous effect?
good video, but this definately does not belong in the parody collective”””

“This is the kind of baby that gets a negative vote and a favorite from the same voter. Powerful baby.””
In regards to individual users; it's entirely up to them of course, though I can't help but feel like they're making the same mistake as the corps; failing to see that YES we know whoever posted this on their blog or site isn't the actual owner of the video, but the source is always unquestionable (just click on the video embed, yo!)
Ugh, sorry, just a peeve of mine in these days of.. confusing legalism and bureaucracy.

“Yeah it took me a while to backup all 70ish. But now that I've caught up, I just post two three videos at a time, and do backups of them at the same time I post em. Its routine now
Theres many websites that let you download the actual video file, like http://www.videodl.org/ .. But I just use a python script to fetch em. No difference, just makes me feel cooler
Then theres those people who like disabling embeds, like the tiger squirt video. Don't really know whats up with that. Like you said, it must be some kinda silly arrogance. Its stupid if you ask me”
Anywho, keeping backups is probably a good idea, but do you really have copies of your 70-ish posts? If so, yowza(!). I just talked to Farhad the other day about what kind of stuff was removed by Viacom, and some of it is just unbelievable. He mentioned an Uzbek music video he posted; gone done disappeared. WHY?!
In reply to your comment:
“Well, I think that was Silvercord, but I can't be too sure, who posted in SiftTalk. He was offering some sort of free for all youtube account where you could upload yourself. Anyhow, I tend to keep backups of all my videos in case Viacom goes insane. You know that pizza baseball video got taken down? It just drives me nuts that I didn't make a backup of it! gah”
Fun note: the GVid version was published September 2006, while the YouTube post was upped November 2006, and it's THAT post which is now getting attention around the web. Just feels like the YouTube poster was being a little arrogant in disabling the embed on it. Whatever, in this case, I suppose :-P
In reply to your comment:
“if you need to upload the videos on youtube that are disabled embeds, just give me a holler. I'll download the flv and reupload it into my own youtube account and enable embed with little or no quality loss
The YouTube post had disable embed code, but the Google Video version did not. However, the YouTube version had the above + more.
Additional info here.”
was that a big YES for the purple lassi, or the hookah????! Or the drop-dead gorgeous yoni-queen???

"Bad guys will always be able to get guns" I hear you cry (I do really, it's a weird power I have)... But strict gun control laws and a general feeling that guns are damn hard to come by mean that far fewer crimes are committed with them, far fewer deaths result because of them. And while you say that there are many ways to kill someone, shooting them dead seems to still be the quickest and most effective. I know I'd feel like I had a bit more of a chance against someone with a knife vs a gun. (I could run away for starters).

“well i can't seem to find any solid statistics on violent deaths across countries, mainly because i dont subscrube to resources like those, but heres a BBC article
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1566715.stm
or maybe its because:
Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.
i agree with what you're saying about more guns might cause crimes of passion on impulse, but what makes Switzerland different?
United Kingdom vs Switzerland
A European example would be to compare the violent crime levels of the United Kingdom, which has very strict rules against gun ownership, with Switzerland, which has fully automatic assault rifles in 14% of homes. [1] According to the British Home Office, Switzerland had a homicide rate per 100,000 of 1.2 average over the years 1999-2001, which is less than England & Wales at 1.61, although Scotland is higher at 2.16, while Northern Ireland - with its historically exceptional conditions - is at 2.65. The latter compares with the Irish Republic (with similar gun control laws to the UK) at 1.42. [2]
These data indicate a negative correlation between gun ownership and crime. However, simple correlative evidence concerning two examples is inconclusive as to causation. Put another way, these data do not conclusively indicate that the higher gun ownership rate in Switzerland is a cause of that country's lower homicide rate, although that conclusion is frequently drawn.
Data can be skewed to say that there is a positive correlation between guns and crime, and that there is a negative correlation betweeen the two depending on what countries and how you poll etc. This correlation, does it necessarily imply causation? I think theres much more at hand than just how many guns are floating around, its definately got something to do with their culture and how they view guns and violence in everyday life.
i dont know about you but i'd think twice about waving around a gun when everybody has access to those same guns. Its sort of like when everyone has nukes
besides, if someone is intent on kiling somebody they dont need a gun to do it (one way or another, see: milions of pissed off wives who drug their husbands to death when they come back home smelling like perfume)
on the other hand, not having guns only does the opposite, it prevents the people who can put a stop to a situation like VT massacre and renders them useless while they wait for the SWAT team to arrive. (last incident over there was stopped by a man with a gun) and it like i said you dont need a gun to kill, not having guns wont prevent the millions of other ways to render a person not breathing.

“And?
Where in that does it say anything in regards to gun ownership and a link to gun violence?
Check out this greaph which shows a strong link between suicides with guns and gun ownership levels. (and in case you were going to say... "and shows that there is little evidence that rates of homicide and suicide by means other than firearms increase where gun ownership is lower.")
It's just basic common sense isn't it? Don't give guns to more people, how is that going to make things better? "FUCK YOU MAN, I DESERVED A High Distinction ON THAT PAPER!" BANG, BANG, BANG... Having guns easily accessible means that in the heat of the moment people have the opportunity to do really stupid, deadly things.
Not having guns during heated situations means that there may be fist fights, yelling etc. but not deaths, not anything that can't be apologised for and made right. You can't make right shooting someone in the head.

Call Center: A Hilarious Short Film on Outsourcing
Clarksville Online, TN - 30 minutes ago
The rise of free trade, globalization, and outsourcing are affecting the daily lives of millions of Americans. This short film is a humorous introduction to the people on the other end.
Keep trying though, for I also have a secret weapon.
Fortunately for you I am plagued by my habitual procrastination and chronic apathy.
