Rihanna covers the Numa Numa song

And maybe some people woke up and pushed it away. =P

Oh jammer, I can always count on you to fear adverse opinion. You keep betting that little red button in to the ground... but wait what is this jammer thinks this is news worthy? Okay, so if you saw this on the evening night you wouldn't stop and go 'what'?

I didn't hit the red button on many things.

But I did hit it on that one and not on the Clinton one and Mrs Obama one.

It matters on how much it bothers me or the saturation of the topic. Most pot ones I hit the red button because going on and on about it as if you are only right about it is disturbing. Also the Bush bashing ones and the ones that promote Obama and the Fox bashing and the love fest for other things.

There's a running theme around here and it seems there's a lot of repeaters going on--there are other things, other fun things like this one that need to be seen. There's only so much of the other one can take before it's tedious and boring and trite.

and would I stop? I like things that are light in fare because it removes the burden of this horrible world for a moment. I would have and laughed. It's good to laugh.

Sometimes people who are part of the reason you come here have good suggestions that are pushed up because of just that and not because of what they do....but apparently when something moves on up that people don't like they like to blame something instead of seeing it for what it just is.

Not everyone has the same thoughts as you nor the same cares at that moment...just because you love the DNC doesn't mean others do.

As you see I'm sick of the gay topics and political ones and the hate Bush and fox ones..it's never anything new it's the same old same old---but it doesn't matter because it matters what the whole thinks, not just me.

You didn't answer my question. Is this news worthy? Are you going to go home and tell your friends about it?

Yes I did. I answered if I would watch it.

You asking me if it's newsworthy is a different question all together. I tell my brothers about things like this because they would know about because they know about the famous Youtube people. My friends...not so much. I know who finds what news interesting and who I can tell what to.

I find it entertaining and lighthearted. Trying to bog everyone down with depression and the lie of how important an election is is tiresome.

Let's say that the news was on at 6pm and they were doing those "later on the show" type things and they brought her up and showed the clip of what she would be singing....I would wait to see it. It's worthy to me.

I have two pot friends (ha..never called them that) and I would share some articles from here with them, but they've been really busy and I haven't gotten to talk to them in a really long time and now that I think about it its' been far too long. University and one is in the UK--time difference.

Hey ivxx,

Looks like you've got a couple issues with this story winning and I just wanted to remind you of a couple things.

Factors that effect the outcome of stories making it on to the newspod are voting and commenting; this story just happened to receive more votes/comments than the other one. Maybe more people felt the way J_Jammer does and wanted something else to win that wasn't the DNC. I'm not sure. If you really don't want a story to win it's usually best to just vote down and step away - IE not comment.

There's a good deal of information about how this stuff works here :

and here

Also, it looks like the Kucinich story is in 1st place with 8 minutes left on the clock - my guess is it will make the news pod.

If you have any more questions/concerns about this or anything else feel free to shoot me an email.

Thanks,

-Ben

Well, while I almost NEVER agree with anything Jammer has to say, and I adamantly disagree with his use of the red button...I have to agree with him here on one thing;

It's good to laugh.

Total waste of time......but I watched it all and laughed.

kind of scares me that I know who all these people are and have seen their clips....

guess I've been to all the right places on the net....

As you should be embarrassed...lol (kiddin')

HEY HO HEY HO
