Episode 20 - The Politics of Videos [Discussion]

[marilee]

Bill O'Reilly goes beserk to a dance beat, Steve Ballmer gets egg on his face, John McCain gets caught in a web of lies, U.S. Border Patrol makes an embarrassing stop and it's still good to be Mr.BabyMan.

this show gets better and better

I don't even watch this show, but I saw the O'Reilly picture and had to post. Both of those videos were posted on digg 2 weeks ago. In internet time that is roughly... 10,000 years. And now I'm reminded why I don't watch this particular show.

Nice episode and nice segways. I like it!

They didn't show the original O'Reilly video, but the remixed one and a spoof by collegehumor. And it isn't that old, c'mon.

I've been sort of luke warm on this show for a while...but I gotta say I think you are really hitting your stride, this was a great episode.

Yeah, like we don't get enough of this crap from digg.com elitists on a daily basis. Go troll somewhere else.

Anyway, great ep guys. Definitely. I friggin' love that O'Reilly remix. I also noticed that my ears weren't bleeding after the podcast. It was fantastic! Good to know you guys care. : D

yeah, we take videos that were posted within 7 days, but it does take a few days to shoot/edit.

this brings up a bigger question for me, though. sometimes we'll show videos that people re-posted from years back (or perhaps viewers saw them on YouTube 2 years ago). some people get extremely irate about seeing stuff they've seen before. or sometimes it's the "oh, YOU'RE just seeing this now?! because I saw it, like, a hundred years ago" phenomenon. anyway, i'd be curious to hear peoples' thoughts on reposts.

and thanks for the props on the show! 4 realz.

BUT, what defines "old" on the internet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5MVp5WEY3U)?

I have been online since before there was a www, and the alphabet soup was restricted to ftp, wais, and gopher, but I still see things I missed on the first pass.

By your own admission you did not watch the episode, so do not criticize it. Yes, we are all aware you can see the videos on Digg before they make it on the show. It's understood, and not a secret. Please stop trolling.
