I saw this (non religious) video on Facebook and it made me angry

[Drich]

It's definitely staged and heavily edited but I think your satire detection is turned down too low Drich.

I'm not the only one who doesn't seem to understand this is not meant to be taken as 'satire'.

Looks to me the self righteous response I originally responded to on Facebook is being mirrored here on this faud-cast news show.

What is your understanding of satire? Getting caught misrepresenting something and then having the option of saying 'just kidding?' These guys who have 4million plus hits on YouTube have a responsibility of labeling their work if it is meant to be taken as fiction or a prank. They have no other issue labeling other videos they do as pranks when that applies.

If for no other reason to stop others from picking this stuff up and taking it as an accurate representation of the condition of a given situation. Just like the faud-casters did.

First of all, "drippy", it may help if you think about their avatar instead of their actual name. Only ShaMan and a handful of others change their avatars on a regular basis, so where's what I think of yours:


Also, you don't have the right to direct any sort of conversation. You may be the ORIGINAL poster, but that doesn't give you any sort of judicial rights to determine if a post is adequately "on topic". That's what the mod team is for. Being "off topic" allows for DISCUSSION to actually happen; instead of just some blase responses to a single post, we have various parties replying to various posts, which are in turn replies to various posts, et cetera until we get back to you, the one with a special status known as the OP. All you did was START the conversation, now deal with where it leads.

Look sport, I have every right to direct any conversation I want that is addressed directly to me. As cato's comments were directed at me and as I have an agenda to speak about the video I posted I deemed his work invalid. Just as I have done with some of your own.

Hmm it's so weird how we come up with names for people in our heads that stick. It's like Metazoa Zeke in my mind I always call him Paleo because when I first met him elsewhere his name was PaleolithicFreeThinker now he will always be Paleo to me. But I don't get either carrot reference. Pocaracas is Poca in my mind and rexbeccarox is Rebecca rocks. Always. Drich is always D-rich

I get the re the the Xing out of the re leaving becca rox now.. It was just then I could not make heads or tails of it, and I split it wrong into rexbec, carox pronounced carrots with a southern accent.

I knew paleo. (I always thought 'free thinker' was a very... Generous titled he awarded himself) but to each his own. Zeek is a good Handle for him now.

My name is just the first letter of my first name and the first four of my last. D-rich is how I and the other Drich's say it but I will answer to just about anything.

I've been told drich is a restaurant, and a rap music producer.

I may have 99 problems but being a successful restaurant own and music producer ain't one. (We are not relations)
