One video that’s too shocking for YouTube and seven that should be

YouTube has disabled one of our videos, saying it had violated their Community Guidelines. Take a look at others think are okay.

Last week we ran a video we called “Can you spot the person who needs to be deported?”. You an watch it above.

The clip is now hosted on DailyMotion.com after YouTube disabled it, saying it had violated their Community Guidelines. Here’s what the violation notification said:

Sometimes people do get hurt and it’s inevitable that these events may be documented on YouTube. However, YouTube is not a shock site. It’s not okay to post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies or similar things intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful. If a video is particularly graphic or disturbing, it should be balanced with additional educational or documentary context and information

Apparently our video was too “shocking, sensational or disrespectful” for the delicate souls at YouTube. Watch it for yourself and we think you’ll agree that it’s neither shocking nor sensational, so they must have deemed it to be disrespectful. Call us crazy, but we thought the guy in the video who…uh…fertilized the plant was the disrespectful one. But we may be behind the times on what’s right and what’s wrong these days.

We apologize to the YouTube, their owner Google, and the eagle-eyed member of the multicultural citizen patrol who alerted YouTube to our insensitivity.

So as a public service, and to instruct everyone in the type of videos that don’t violate YouTube’s “shocking, sensational or disrespectful” guidelines, we would like to present the following selection of YouTube-approved videos. We’d issue some content warnings, but they have YouTube’s official seal of approval.

So what the hell. Continue to view (possibly NSFW)…

The commercial Islamic radicals don’t want you to see. New and improved.

Some time back, a great commercial showed up on the internet. It was supposedly created by a South African ad agency to promote Honda’s hybrid.

We say supposedly because the commercial was so simple and so powerful and so controversial that it just seems doubtful that any major advertiser would have the guts to run it. Honda denies any involvement. So does the ad agency that is credited with having created it.

The commercial became an internet sensation. It got millions of views. Then an Islamic activist group got its panties in a wad and demanded that the commercial be pulled off the internet. YouTube caved in and pulled the commercial. It’s now very difficult to find online.

We love the commercial. So we got our hands on a copy, did a little editing, removed any reference to Honda, and put a new ending on it.

We think new version is more powerful than the original. And more timely, too.

If you enjoy it, please tell everyone you know to see it at IHateTheMedia.com.

Cavuto goes crazy, screams at Democrat congressman during interview over excessive pay

Yesterday Fox Business Channel’s Neil Cavuto treated a Unites States Congressman with all the respect he deserved. None.

First the Fox host lost his composure. Then he lost his voice. Cavuto went crazy when pathetic Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) couldn’t or wouldn’t and certainly didn’t answer a simple, straightforward question about the congressman’s bill to restrict wages for Amerian workers.

“The Constitution never gave you the damn authority of telling anyone what they should make…,” Cavuto raged. “The Constitution never gave you the authority to blithely come in here and arrogantly set pay for people you don’t even know. And, you don’t have the guts to come back at me and tell me what you think adequate pay range is.”

As the Orlando Sentinel reported on the bill, “The U.S. House is expected to vote today on a measure aimed at halting the payout of “unreasonable and excessive” bonuses to employees of financial companies that received federal bailout money.”

“The bill — a brainchild of U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando — would let the Treasury Department and financial regulators set standards to avoid a repeat of the outrage over AIG, the insurance giant that paid $165 million in bonuses to executives after it got more than $180 billion in bailout funds.”

Other questions Grayson probably can’t or won’t answer:

Have you stopped beating your wife? What is the distance from the sun to the moon? What is pi? And finally, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?

Obama’s “random” questioners at internet Town Hall weren’t quite random after all

Joe Biden's speechwriter pauses to write Romeo & Juliet. Believe it or not!
Joe Biden's speechwriter pauses to write Romeo & Juliet. Believe it or not!
How’s that open, transparent administration thing going for you, President Obama?

More than 92,000 people submitted questions for the President’s highly-hyped internet Town Hall. And in one of history’s most remarkable coincidences, all five of the fully-identified questioners have something in common.

Here’s how the Washington Post explains it:

But while the online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on randomly by the president in the East Room were anything but a diverse lot. They included: a member of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama’s campaign in 2008.

Quick. Somebody call Ripley’s Believe it Or Not.

This is about as likely as the guy who found his wedding ring inside a flounder ten years after he lost it on a fishing trip. Or the monkey who typed Shakespeare. Or Joe Biden going an entire day without putting his foot in his mouth.

Milton Friedman spanks Phil Donahue, sends him to his room without supper

Thanks to John Romano over at BigHollywood.com for digging out this old YouTube video of Milton Friedman teaching dumbfounded liberal Phil Donahue a few things about how capitalism and the real world work.

You can help but love the crestfallen look on Donahue’s face.

The truth about Scientology revealed in cartoon show, not by the news media

What does it say about the media when we get more truth from cartoons than from the news?

The sickness that is called moral relativism keeps the politically correct media from coming out and saying what’s pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain: Scientology is a crock.

It’s a wacky religion concocted by a science fiction writer with too much time on his hands. It’s one of the biggest scams in history. Right up there with the “stimulus” package.

Here’s a great mash-up of L. Ron Hubbard and a South Park episode. It combines the denials of a Scientology spokesman with South Park’s animated version of L. Ron Hubbard’s actual spoken words.

We don’t know which is funnier – Hubbard’s words, South Park’s animation or John Travolta’s pilot uniform. But that’s another story.

We have to go now. We have a call from Xenu on line two.

Hey, Charlie Rangel, pay your g*d d*mn*d taxes?

The party that brought you Reverend G*d d*mn America is back with another installment of righteously profane indignation. This time it’s in the service of the most ethical and transparent congress in history.

This is a story we’d like to see on the TV news, but we’re not holding our breath. In the meantime, we’re thankful for HotAir.

Tax cheat Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has been comfortably ensconced in the House since 1971 and currently chairs the Ways and Means Committee that writes our convoluted tax laws. He was asked by HotAir TV about his taxpayer-sponsored Cadillac and a few other ethical and financial lapses.

Thinking he was dealing with a friendly tourist, Rangel turns on the charm with a big, toothy smile and a warm “Welcome to the nation’s capitol!”

Watch how his excrement-masticating grin freezes after he’s confronted about his shady rental property deals, publicly-subsidized Cadillac, and unpaid taxes. Then he says:

“Why don’t you mind your G*d d*mn*d business?”

It’s official. Government of the people is now government vs. the people.

13-year old author speaks at CPAC, makes millions ashamed of their lives

Jonathan Krone, 13-year old author of “Define Conservatism” delivered an address at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC this weekend.

To repeat, the kid’s thirteen years old. He’s already written a book. And he’s a hell of a good speaker, too.

We did an informal survey of the editorial staff here at IHateTheMedia.com, asking the question “What were you doing when you were thirteen?” The results are as follows:

33% were collecting baseball cards and comic books.

33% were worried about pimples.

33% were inappropriately touching themselves.

Damn you, Jonathan Krone, damn you. If we didn’t admire you so much, we’d hate you.

Reporter fired for his inappropriately exposing his bright blue scrotum

<b>This is definitely not Attorney General Eric Holder.</b>
This is definitely not Attorney General Eric Holder.

A Baltimore television reporter has been fired for creating the infamous John Gibson “bright blue scrotum” video.

In the doctored video, comments Gibson made on Fox News about an escaped monkey were cut together with completely unrelated comments he made about U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

WBAL-TV, an NBC affiliate, admitted that one of its former employee had posted the video on YouTube without its knowledge. Other media outlets revealed that the WBAL reporter responsible for the doctored video had been fired.

This seems unfair to us. What color is the attorney general’s scrotum? Do we know for sure it’s not bright blue? This is the man who has sworn to uphold the law of the land. Before the reporter is fired, shouldn’t Holder be required to produce the evidence?

Rantin’ Rick Santelli viewed 2,500,000 times

If you think the rant by CNBC’s Rick Santelli hasn’t tapped into a reservoir of resentment across this nation, get this:

Since it went online last Thursday, the clip has been viewed more than 1,800,000 times on CNBC.com. It’s also been viewed more than 700,000 times on YouTube.com. (These numbers are growing so rapidly that they’ll be out of date by the time you read this.)

Rantin’ Rick Santelli, one media guy we don’t hate.

John Gibson: Huffington Post better lawyer up!

John Gibson has come out firing against everyone involved in creating, posting and circulating the now infamous, doctored audio clip that leads listeners to believe Gibson had attributed the “bright blue scrotum” of an escaped monkey to Attorney General Eric Holder.

“Nobody, nobody involved in this should rest easy right now,” Gibson said. “Hearst Argyle, the multi-billion dollar television ownership group, whose employee John Sanders actually created the fake tape, Arrianna Huffington whose Huffington Post passed the fake quote on to the rest of the world, TVNewswer, the TV industry gossip blog, which also acted as a conduit–they all should think about lawyering up. I am not done with this.”

Update: We just found this interview from last Friday’s Breibart.TV’s “B-Cast ‘Anatomy of a Smear’: How the ‘Doctored’ John Gibson Audio Was Revealed.” In this video, the hosts are joined by Johnny Dollar (of Johnny Dollar’s Place) and Steve Krakaeur (of TV Newser). Plus they featured their extended interview with the TV reporter who ‘doctored’ the audio on his John Gibson YouTube post.

Judging panel tries to abort little girl’s abortion speech

Here’s another reason we hate the media.

This YouTube video has been viewed by nearly 265,000 people since February 3, 2009. Yet according to a Google News Search, the story’s been covered by just one newspaper.

Lia, a 12-year-old Toronto girl, has become an internet sensation since her mom posted this video. It shows Lia delivering a five-minute pro-life speech in a school competition.

Before the competition began, she was told she wouldn’t be allowed to compete unless she changed the topic of her speech. Despite hostility from the judges, her speech was so outstanding that she won the competition. Sadly, she was later disqualified because the subject of her speech was too “controversial.”

If you hate the media, you’ll love the speech. No matter what your position on abortion may be.
