1. What happens if a non-intellectual DUer watches it?

Do they turn into a pumpkin?!

[Berserker]

2. Im intellectualer than you are!

[Taxloss]

3. Rubbish! I'm a far bigger intellectualist!

PS the film itself is very interesting.

[jeff30997]

9. Yes it's really good.Glad that at least ONE person in this thread saw it.

[jeff30997]

6. Did you watch the video ?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. *grunt* *grunt* *Ar*ar*ar* Mfffflprg.

Ouch.

[jeff30997]

7. Hehehe.Good reply!

:rofl:

[jeff30997]

5. LOL.It's only a tease Taxloss.

Peoples rarely click on links that leads to a video.I tried to lure peoples to watch this by saying "For intellectual DUers only" but obviously it didn't work.Peoples(Including me)are too lazy to watch a video on the net.Don't ask why,I don't know,but it's true.BTW did you clicked on the link ? I doubt it.

[Taxloss]

10. I did click, as I said to beserker.

It's very interesting.

I personally like watching/listening to stuff on the web.

PS you know I was joshing with the pumpkin remark. If I wasn't joshing I would have shrieked and yelled.

[jeff30997]

13. Oh boy.I'm French-Canadian so...

Can you tell me what joshing means ?

[Taxloss]

15. It means gently joking, ribbing, fondly poking fun.

I was joking with you.

It's slang from southern England. I live in London, UK.

[jeff30997]

18. I understand. Well I think I like the way you think mate...

I wish I could visit England one day...So much History.Of course for you it's normal and maybe boring just like here in Canada except for the tourists of course :)

[Taxloss]

20. Et vous, mon ami.

It's not boring for us. And Canada isn't short on history. I've always wanted to do your coast-to-coast railway.

[jeff30997]

22. Wow! Vous parlez Francais!

Well It's not really boring for us too but what I mean is when you're born in a country it's less exotic to you than it is for foreigners.
BTW,Canada's History is really short compared to England's.

[Taxloss]

23. Un peut. Un petit peut.

Depuis longtemps. I'm rubbish at it.

We learned a bit about Canadian history at school - General Wolfe, the Quebec raid, all that.

25. The Krell machine fries their mind, Dr. Morbius.

:silly:

8. I am an intellectual, unfortunately I suffer from ADD.

So I must say that I completely enjoyed the first minute and 22 seconds of that show.

[Taxloss]

11. That's odd, I also suffer from ...

LET'S RIDE BIKES!

[jeff30997]

12. ROTFL!!!

:rofl: You're so cool dhinojosa !

[Berserker]

14. The first couple

of minutes with the dueling banjos is great. I think that should be the chimps theme song.

[sarahlee]

16. On-line video

is just painful for us dial-up users.

[Taxloss]

17. It's a big file, this one.

Worth it, though.

"You can't get fired by the internet."

"You don't get paid by the internet, either."

[jeff30997]

19. Well my friend,I give you the official rank of :

Intellectual DUers of her Majesty !

[jeff30997]

21. Oh damn gambit ! I'm so sorry.I forgot that...

Not everybody have high-speed internet.This afternoon I was at my mother's house and I tried her computer to check my mail and she's on
dial-up...my God ! I forgot how slow it is with ordinary modems !I remember when I first went on the net...28kbs! It took an eternity to download a web page.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

24. Thanks. I'm watching it now.

I love GNN and haven't checked in for awhile.
I loved S11-redux (the beginning) and the clip with Nadar "and this is what happened in your town tonight?" That is one of my favorite GNN videos.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

26. Andrew Croyne making some great points.

Re: Blogs as a filter for our own opinion and canceling out the other opinion (echo-chamber effect).
It will be interesting to see how and if (or when) this type of op-ed journalism becomes homogenized. I would like to see some demographics on blog users and contributors. Will these people become the MSM of tomorrow?

[jeff30997]

27. Sounds interesting.

I'll watch it.

[lateo]

28. "So...let's start the countdown..."

That Nader film is the one I ask all these Nader-haters to watch. I then ask them if they agree with what he is saying and then if they hear ANY of their Democratic leaders talking this way.
