Did you say something?

Except for in extremely special circumstances, I am against youtube posts on blogs. Although youtube videos can be highly entertaining, posts with the following formula are not impressive to me.

1) embed video
2) make humorous comment about video
3) publish

You might as well post comments on a deadspin post and then make an entire post saying "they said that and then i said this! wheee, hooray for me, i'm clever!"

Well, reader, special circumstances have forced the embedded video above. If you are at work, and that place of business is against freedom, here is a transcript.

S. should help the U. S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so that we will be able to build up our future.

Guy in tux: Thank you very much, South Carolina.
