Exactly! What was the thought behind that line? I can’t figure it out.

The Moment of Zen was the best. If you only saw this clip you’re doing yourself a disservice.

In this economy we should all be so lucky as to get a paying gig from Samsung. He’s probably pretty happy about that right now.

if I’m reading this right, and I think I am, “Freddy adjusted his swimsuit” is the best.

Wow, that felt a bit obtuse, but we got there!

Note: It somehow killed the illusion for me when I was taken to a wordpress profile page. I thought Videogum ran on Unicorn Farts and Butterfliy Juice. NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH.

Totally sorry I came off as confrontational.

This is the coolest, funniest and best site on the internet. I love Gabe and all you commenters though I am not often one.

Just feel way out of place when anything religious comes up and was hoping that all the numbers were wrong and this was a joke and that this didn’t exist and that all the insane and inane right-wing corporate & money loving politics in these United States hadn’t actually been appropriated by the evangelical church, or vice-versa and that middle America didn’t have such a bad rap and that mainstream Christianity wasn’t such a terrible joke.

alas.

I agree with you guys about how crazy this whole mess is.
And I work for a southern megachurch.

So, mixed feelings.

your link says perhaps 20-40 million americans (where did they get those numbers?), and according to the national population clock on census.gov, we’ve got 308,704,356 – so, we’re looking at maybe 6%-12% of americans. I’d still say that’s a lot – but especially when considering how polls are conducted and how ambiguous a lot of spiritual belief is, i’d say the numbers are much lower who would atually believe in this (and even lower if you take in to consideration that many might also believe in virtuous pet’s souls and… I don’t know, other things.)

disclaimer: I’m not defending the rapture, but I am a christian.

man, my neck smells like … stale saliva and… toothpaste?

The thing about Videogum is that it’s the first place that actually challenged me to stop feeling that things were guilty pleasures – that i had to be ashamed of the things I liked eg: the hardcore miley cyrus (I love that song) – that’s something Videogum has that no-one else has. I can listen to and enjoy, you know, Gang Gang Dance and Xiu Xiu and fit in, but what if I still put on Lady Gaga? So what? I <3 videogum.

This started as a reply to the overall sentiment of no-one’s a dickhead here… ended as unrelated.

Let’s just say that I’ve stopped F5-ing the engadget feed and am now F5-ing this one.

If you’re looking for some sort of sane and generous perspective on Haiti, check out Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. Then check out PIH (Partners in Health.) Haiti doesn’t need any more crap shoveled on it than it already has- Pat keep your terrible mouth shut.

Considering the kind of people who might find this music appealing, I think they’re preaching to the choir. ie: Themselves.

upvoted for the avatar mainly, but also the comment

is there such a thing as another Little Rock Arkansas monster? Because it’s really hard finding anyone cool to hang out with around here, and, you know, it might be cool to meet. Maybe? But only if such a thing even exists.

Funny Story: It was Easter Sunday and I went to see this with my wife and a good friend directly after church. LOL.

What makes me happy is that those very same young computer nerds are probably now young-to-middle-aged internet nerds browsing the webs pointing themselves out in these videos to their children.

If it’s truestoryconfessiontime here, I had just finished my Anthropology final, which, believe it or not, kicked my butt, and I went back to my dorm and turned Sehnsucht up to eleven and was screaming and spazzing and flailing and kicking and singing and doing jumping jacks and I looked around and all three of my roommates had gotten in in the three minutes it took me to do that and were standing in the doorway. Staring. And Staring.

Hey, you don’t know me guys, I’m a new official member, but now you know me just a bit better, no? I feel like I’m a part of the family, in the same way that someone who has sat in a tree staring at someone else’s home through binoculars for the past five months might consider himself a part of that family, and might invite himself in for thanksgiving dinner.

Back in the day – in the mid-nineties, when everyone was making brilliant and lasting decisions about what to wear and how to dance and what kind of music was awesome – Portishead and Massive Attack were the New Jonas Brothers On The Block. And then like a month later all the PORTISheads were like, oh, LOL, this sounds like lame porn music. But what nobody realized – and this is the important part – is that porn music, in this postmdern, everythingisterrible world we call 2009, would be, like, ironically, Really Good Music, guys.

maaan, who here among us hasn’t done something equally embarrassing when we were alone, listening to shitty music? I mean, minus the camera, the subsequent youtube upload and wanting to share our shame with others, this is you, me and everyone we know.

Is there a special format for animated userpics? ‘Cause the awesome animated gif I made of a frog and a hat didn’t seem to work. So I had to de-animate it. But all I wanted for christmas was to finally join Videogum with a stupid name and an awesome userpic. And I’ve failed.
