Post a video, present me a POV!

Since I didn't want to sully the pictures thread with controversial videos...

Let's kick this off right:

The Koch Brothers become The Daily Show's latest sponsor, prompting the show to welcome them with some minor adjustments to their advertisement.

[2016-05-10: changed the title to be less confrontational, because we don't want to foster arguments, only discussions!]

Daaaaaang.

I know, right? Stewart really must hate Arby's.

... and he introduced fruit into their diets!

The devil is responsible for the regular bowels of humanity!

Dees thread was made first (funny how these came one right after another), so I'm gonna *cough* here. On the other hand this one got more responses for some reason, so, I dunno.

Plus, Dee's thread is properly capitalized. I suggest using that one instead.

Monster: Unleash the Beast! And by that we mean Unleash the Antichrist!

Huh, witchcraft is wayyyy easier than I thought! Sweet!

The Horns movie was also released on media sites like Amazon for those that missed it in theaters.

He mispronounces '.gif'! Everything he argues is incorrect!

I was actually sick to my stomach to learn that the guy who *invented* the gif format pronounces it "jif". Deeply bothered me...

Of course there are exceptions, but...

When c or g meets a, o, or u, its sound is hard.

When c or g meets e, i, or y, its sound is soft.

All you hard-g "gif" people are just wrong.

I pronounced it with a hard G from birth until the guy corrected everyone. Still took months for "jif" to sound normal.

So how did it feel to be wrong from birth, Wrongy McWrongerson?

Bad.

All these "jif" people getting their peanut butter in my chocolate. I won't change!

I've been JIF since the early 90s, and I'm not going to change my verbal stripes any time soon.

"Get" and "girl" are pretty common exceptions... I suspect most English words with Germanic roots would use a hard G regardless of the following vowel...

Wait a minute the sentence "I'm going to get on a jet plane" doesn't have a homophone in it?

Jou know it doesn't...

We are quite the jajjle of gokers aren't we?

Oh! I've got the gist of this.

Git out!
