Man marries a videogame
Is the virtual world somehow tricking the brain beyond a reasonable doubt?
Is the human mind designed/evolved enough to withstand the brainwashing that takes place when bombarded with digital stimuli?
Online Gaming, Second life, Virtual worlds, Chat rooms and Communities all seem to be a form of digital crack that we all joke about but are we actually sending false signals to our brains that are becoming so real that we can no longer distinguish between real and virtual?
Like with actual Crack, our brains are being rewarded with Dopamine every time we succeed at a positive interaction withing this new world. The chemical reward gets recorded in our brain and somehow starts registering Real-world responses up against the Virtual-world experiences.
It looks like the virtual reactions and responses are starting to outweigh the real world interactions causing our brains to make a deformed choice.
... Just my ramblings!
You ever read Neuromancer? Eventually the wealthy (this technology will not be available to the middle-class or the poor) will have their consciousness stored in computers that are hooked up to cloning devices. Virtual worlds will then shift over to become the natural environment for these people, turning the real world into the unnatural.
Caddyshack's Carl Spackler on the Dali Lama
WTH, ant, why did you downvote this? What is WRONG with you?
Awesome music: rhymes clips from the best of TV and film.
The creator seems like a Bill Murray fan, yet no Caddyshack?
Definitely needed a clip with Chevy Chase making Six Million Dollar Man sounds while putting.

Hands-Up Kitten
This cat is destined for greatness.
If by greatness you mean the top 15, then yes, this kitty has a destiny -- like every kitten before him -- to reach the number one spot.
Natural Morality
see, your logic fails to explain contradictions.
but when i say jesus made them that way, it's perfectly logical and acceptable.
therefore, god wins.
Therefore God Wins is going to be the name of my Christian rock band, if I ever start one.

Frankie Boyle Top 5 Jokes
It took me a joke or two for my brain to harmonize with his accent.
That's not all that I harmonized with. I've never wanted to fuck a kitten more than I do now.
Kirk Cameron is on a Crusade to Debunk Evolution
I'm still wondering if it would be ok to add an introduction to the bible.
Seems like the most logical response.
Family Guy "Palestinian Alarm Clock"
One day I hope the entire top 15 is made of 10 second snippets of Family Guy, and I hope all of them are these "reminds me of the time..." sequences. Actually I am lobbying Dag to get siftbot to detect "Family Guy" in the title, and measure the video clip to see if its under 60 seconds, and then apply double votes for each actual vote.
At least it's not a 15 minute waste of political space. I came to videosift to laugh, not cry.
Cat demonstrates how to deal with telemarketers
My kitty plays the motherfucking drums, sucka. Also my guitars a few times. She's kind of punk rock lol.

> Such a cold cloud of gas can actually work as a quantum computer.
Just dont do what I did, I went to Best Buy and bought the Nvidia Quantum Computing card, which comes with a can of Rubidium, but then we all huffed the Rubidium because you get to meet Jesus for about 10 minutes.
Jimmy Carr: Audience doesn't "get it" on The Late Late Show
David Mitchell's Bread & Milk rant from QI
From comedy.org.uk:
There are at least two known "Truths" which have appeared on The Unbelievable Truth which are in fact false. One is that you if remove the fleas from a hedgehog, then the hedgehog dies. The other is the cricket did not exist during Shakespeare's time. Both of these were corrected when David Mitchell appeared on an episode of QI.
Source: QI, Series F, Episode 11 - Film
Even more relevant (to me) is the fact that I did not know of either of these facts until they were proven false.
Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
I have no problem with a restaurant adding an extra fee if you are a big group, but I have a problem when they try to call it a tip or gratuity. That's the whole issue, it's not gratuity, it's a bill. I pay tips in restaurants when I've gotten good service, or we had difficult orders or whatever - but I CHOOSE to pay it, I'm not forced to it.
Your opinion is skewed because 1) You don't live in America, and 2) You didn't work in the terrible food industry of America.
Before you start downvoting me and before you stop reading what I have to say, let me explain: I'm not against you not being American, (because that's a simple-minded way to go about judging people) but the food industry here is bullshit and the system (for lack of an actual person to blame) forces workers into this reality. When a tip is not paid by a customer, it's akin to docking a worker's pay. I know it doesn't make that much sense, but it's how things turned out over here. And it's as simple as that from a restaurant worker's perspective.
My next point is also important to your understanding: The total tips that a waiter/server makes at the end of the day is split up amongst the food runners, bussers, and barback, so not tipping has a trickle down effect to people who may have done their share of work yet who rely on the waiter to make their fair share.
It really is a shitty shitland of shit for the workers who live by these rules. I fault your ignorance of our food culture, not your ability to reason. I'd love to adopt the system you envision, but that means nothing in the short term and isn't too realistic.
FLAIRS - TRUCKERS DELIGHT
