There is Zoloft medication for your irrational personalizing your anxiety and lashing out at someone who is rational. I am just expressing a preference for something funny enough to make me fall on the floor laughing, e.g. Homer Simpson, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield, Jim Carey, SNL, Beavis and Butthead, or my best friend snorting out peanut butter through his nose, etc. Old geezer confirmed.

I'm going to kick in a tip this weekend. And might I suggest another video "Shit bitcoin haters say". I thought this video was funny, but the crazy troll stuff writes it's own jokes.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

EXCELLENT!!!!!!
EDIT: How much did it cost to produce the videos? And what was your motive for doing them?
Haha! Glad you like them!! I think his ultimate motivation is to get Richard Branson to offer him a trip into space! LOL. No really, he just loves making comedy videos for fun, he loves Bitcoin, and he was soooo tired of saying the same things over & over again to everyone he met ("No, Bitcoin is NOT a Ponzi scheme!") that he finally realized that there had to be some real comedy gold here. He's always believed that the funniest things are "real life situations", so he just put together a bunch of things that he found himself saying over & over & over again… and threw in some bonus crazy stuff as well. He hoped that if he has been saying these things constantly, then others would hopefully be able to relate to it as well. (He also likes to poke fun at himself with self-deprecating humor… you can see that he doesn't really take himself too seriously, because he's basically making fun of himself.) Sorry for the long-winded answer… I will ask him his motivation and get you a more concise answer later! It cost him about $4,000 to create the videos (professional videographer, professional editing, food on set, location costs, all those Bitcoin t-shirts in every scene!!!!, the Bitcoin sign, etc.). So if anybody is feeling generous, please donate bitcoins to him! Although he will probably kill me for posting his expenses publicly on the forum. If you would have posted an address, I would have accused you of pulling a Wales (think Wikipedia and intentional accident, if not up to speed). BTW, what's your bitcoin address in case I get generous while reading the rest of this nice thread? Also, if possible, what state are you located in, albeit I'm pretty sure I could dig it up? I'm in Illinois, and would love to meet up with this dude.

Sorry to say I was expecting the videos to be much funnier. I didn't bust a gut. There's a little 1-second bite in the first video that says that Bitcoin is bringing democracy to the world. This is BAD. Democracy means majority rule. If you are in the minority, you might not like majority rule. Bitcoin is not democratic. It is not majority rule. It is everyone for himself. It is learning how to be responsible for your own actions and freedom, or you might lose to a Bitcoin thief. Bitcoin is the laws of nature being enacted in mathematical form to grant freedom, not democracy, to everyone in the world! Democracy is run by the minority, not the majority. The majority are their slaves Gentlemen you are expressing the philosophy of the Dark Enlightenment. See also this. I, too, didn't bust a gut, but the production quality was damn good, as well as the acting.

Probably because it isn't about trolls posting here and there.. +1 There is Zoloft medication for your irrational personalizing your anxiety and lashing out at someone who is rational. I am just expressing a preference for something funny enough to make me fall on the floor laughing, e.g. Homer Simpson, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield, Jim Carey, SNL, Beavis and Butthead, or my best friend snorting out peanut butter through his nose, etc. Even the old Wendy's commercials were funnier than that bland snot in the OP videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CaMUfxVJVQOr some Dancing Baby or dancing dog is more entertaining than seeing his yuppie twat face: http://bluefishway.com/2012/08/26/the-dancing-dog-video/Even guilty dog with cute little girl is more entertaining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u5I33rEhCQI am reasonably obsessed with fixing Bitcoin, but you guys are beyond pale obsessed if you think those OP videos were above a 2 on the 1 to 10 comedy metric. Sorry no offense intended to the lady who posted them, nor her bf. They could have exaggerated the ideas much more to a much greater effect. Great comedy is about exaggeration. Come to think of it, you are right. Shame on them for posting two videos that garnered ONLY ~50K views, bringing further attention to what you're obsessed with--Bitcoin. Shame on them! You and I could have done better with a lesser budget and probably have gotten 60K views with only one video.

Scott's an actor: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0741662/I remembered him when I saw him in "High voltage" again. He's very good, I'm suprised he had to self fund, the bitcoin production is a pro production, it doesn't look self funded. I'm a little confused when watching him win $37k in the gameshow "majority rules": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYIqoQDHrcIat 6:59 when asked by the host about his occupation he says "i'm originally from chicago, and now i own a computing and consultancy firm in los angeles" chicago checks out on his bio, but "computing and consultancy firm"? the show only ran between 1996-1997, in 1996 he appeared in "Prom Pudendum" in 1997 he appeared in "High Voltage" I would have thought he would have mentioned that to the show host, "I'm an actor and have recently been involved with..." or was he in character as an actor during the show? Or was he really also the owner of a computing and consultancy firm and appearing in feature films at the same time? I suppose it's cheaper for shows to produce content using actors rather than general public, prize money can then be more impressive than actors fee, more viewership less outlay. Well either way I'm sure this bitcoin video will get many views.
