Howard Dean Endorses Videogum Dot Com For President

BASICALLY!

Wait, whuuuuuuuut? I don't even know what he is talking about, but AY-AY-AY! Take back Nah Right!

Man, this is better than when we got our first Cease and Desist letter. OK, own horn thoroughly tooted. Back to the trampoline fart trenches to continue the good fight. (Thanks for the tip, Matt Tobey.)

If Videogum enters popular culture then it will be some sort of paradox, like a box that contains our own universe!

I imagine that there are so many cuts because each time after he said one of the site names he had to turn to the producer and ask "That's how the kids say it right?"

I can't believe the words "street boners and tv carnage" just came out of Howard Dean's mouth.

do you know what living in canada is like?

its like when you are at your cool big brothers 13th birthday party, and hes just gotten a really great gift. everyone crowds around the gift, and you are left trying to worm your way in to have a look at what it is, but you can never quite see it. you jump up and down, and try to dig your way in but you will never see that gift. ever.

SO, can someone tell me what is going on in this video? why is howard dean talking about videogum?

HA you think you're so FANCY what with your SOCIALIZED MEDICINE and what! But HAHA I HAVE YOU NOW LUKE! You keep your fuckin more affordable medicine, and we shall continue to CONTROL THE INTERNETS (by that I mean CONTROL SEVERAL WEBSITES WITH VIDEOS WHICH VIDEOGUM FREQUENTLY EMBEDS IN THE WEBSITE WHICH IN TURN ALWAYS CAUSE SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER DAMNED COUNTRY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT).


Hell, just another reason why I am PROUD to be an AMERICAN.

Yes, unhampered viewing of embedded videos is foremost among those national qualities which keep our colors from running.

italics are for emphasis. and if you are emphasizing every word of entire sentences, that is called yelling. try it out loud.

I used to read Mad Magazine growing up, and I remember being so confused by the way certain words would be bolded in their movie parodies. It took me the longest time to figure out that the bolded word were for emphasis, as they are in regular conversation. But the way I was reading them before I figured that out had nothing to do with hearing the emphasis in my head -- I read it as being random and confusing.
This is the way I read your comments. I think the main problem is the caps, which make my brain want to stop working. May I suggest HTML tags instead? Unless that's un-American, of course.

Thanks but I AM NOT a fan. also sometimes I USE the caps TO YELL WHEN I'M EFRUSTRATED AT ETHINGS. So I just like to EEFFICIENT, like a well-oiled, capitalist machine.

American Patriot, I'd just like to say, you have totally transitioned. You crossed over. Into our group. It's really hard to do. Some kids try for all of high school and never make it.

Yes please, I'm an American Ex-patriot living in Czech Republic. Videogum keeps me connected to the Homeland. But I can't watch shit on Hulu! I'm coming home soon though so it's sort of a moot point.

ATTENTION CANADIAN NERDS, HERE IS YOUR PRO-TIP:

IF you are using firefox install:
http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/967
then:
1) tools->modify headers
2) From the drop down on the left select add
3) Then enter: "X-Forwarded-For" in the first input box
4) Enter: "12.13.14.15" in the second input box
5) Leave the last input box empty, and save the filter, and enable it

Dean obviously has no idea what he's talking about, and I think that legitimizes the site even more.
