Where can I download free funny videos...? Is there a website or program where I can download free funny video clips, to a normal video file like AVI or WMV? I would be really grateful if you can give me a website/program that does this! Thanks :)
What is the best software to use to make a montage of video clips? I want to make a montage of some of my favorite funny scenes from various films. What would be the best software that allows me to cut scenes from movies and then combine them into one video clip? This would be only for my personal use and it would be great if the software was free as well! Thanks! Oh sorry, I forgot to add that! I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.
Where I can get free DX generation (WWE) video? Where can i download DX generation video for free and it's not the short length video clip like in youtube.

A safe kid video featuring Mario -free/online? I saw a video clip of Mario and Luigi and it was funny (until the grand theft auto theme came in). My 6 year old was so happy watching it but ended up crying! I should have watched the entire thing first! Is there any cute/funny video of them riding around in their car without finding them getting shot? thanks.
Is there a way to remove tags on movie clips? I really like to watch funny videos online and occasionally if I find one that I really love I save it to my computer and email it around. My question is this, is there a way to remove the tags websites keep putting in the corners of videos? I know they are putting them there to keep people from "stealing" them (considering the videos are free I don't see how it would be considered stealing), however often the tags block out portions of the video. Is there software available that can remove these tags out of the lower corners allowing for just the video to be visible? Thanks for any help!
How do I get this video from my phone to my PC?!? Well, a while ago, my friends and I made this really funny video on my phone and I kept it. Later, my memory was getting full so I started sending the videos/pictures and stuff to my email address through Multimedia Messaging so I could have them on my PC. Then I deleted the stuff I sent from my phone to free up space. However, this video is too large to send via MMS. My phone is a Sony Ericsson Z525 loaded with Cingular. My phone doesn't have a USB hookup, but I neeed to get this video to my computer because I have to wipe my phone's memory and I don't want to lose this clip. So: is there any other way to transfer a video from my cell to my PC even though it's too large for MMS? Btw...I CAN'T EMAIL IT TO MYSELF, like I usually do. That's the whole reason why I'm asking this question...!

Have you seen the Jon Stewart video on gay marriage? Have you seen the Jon Stewart (The Daily Show) video on gay marriage? It is so funny! I laughed so much! Oh Jon Stewart rocks. As a bi girl I can say he is so cute, if he was free I would kiss him. I found it on the Human Rights Campaign web-site about taking action. http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/actioncenter/home.html On the day that the U.S. Senate voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment, Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's The Daily Show interviewed right-wing pundit William J. Bennett. If you didn't see the show watch the clip of Jon Stewart's funny and relentless interview during which he countered every ridiculous and discriminatory argument against marriage between same-sex couples that Bennett tried to make. http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/campaign/ty_jonstewart If you go to Comedy Central's video clips and type in "Jon Stewart" or "gay marriage" then it will come up and you can watch the video. So go watch it and tell me what you think. Did it make you laugh too?

How do you separate audio and video on Window's Movie Maker? I'm trying to make an "Avatar: the Last Airbender" parody to put on YouTube, but I can't figure out how to separate the audio files from video. I've got the audio I want (lol. It's from South Park, and a bunch of other funny things I thought would be okay for it) I JUST want the video clips. And not screenshots. Without downloads too, and for FREE. I know how to use just the audio, but how can I separate it using just the video??? I wanna put some audio I've already got from a few different things along with the video I want....... Please help? . . . Yeah. lol. It probably sounds really picky too huh. Actually I just wanna know about when you download the video (afterwards) if you can separate the video from audio. Can you?

I dont see why their campaign is jealous that Obama had the money to buy 30 minutes on prime time TV. Mc Cain/Palin have been on SNL for the past 2 months for free. Its funny and sad at the same time because its humiliating. Its so true. They are making jokes of themselves. But SNL would have dont it anyway so I guess McCain wanted to be part of the joke. They are jokes just like SNL makes them appear to be. Obama/Biden 2008

programmes like mcafee site advisor etc? show sites as red or yellow if they are of "dubious" nature ie:adult x sites and some video clip sites similar to youtube warning of spyware adware etc. Well i regularly visit video clip sites other than "nice and proper"youtube and i have never had a problem with spyware malware yet .And i have and use most of the best free anti malware anti rootkit programmes that there is. Are these" prevention better than cure" programmes like site advisor a form of self imposed censorship by turning the over cautious user away from visiting Sites that are not seen as being appropriate.Funny how mainstream youtube heavily regulated with the usual 1001 rules of use put in place is always as clean as a whistle and almost reccomended you should visit,afterall lots of people all active in one place is so much easier to monitor and censor

Most Outrageous Moments Clip? I've been to the NBC website and I cannot find this video. I want to share it with some ppl because it is absolutely hilarious. Has anyone been able to find the clip with the guy walking down a street (seems like it's a European setting) and then out of the blue from around the corners of both buildings on separate sides of the street the huge stampede of people in animal costumes begin to chase him? It is soooo funny. P. S. It's NOT on YOUTUBE either. Ten free points to whoever can lead me in the direction of the video.

Any info on FREE 3GP downloads for my mobile (cell) phone? Does anyone out there know of any GOOD sites where I can download free 3GP movie clips for my phone? I'm looking for funny videos and animations mostly, but anything at all would be good. I'm looking for the kind of site that lets you download onto your computer, then transfer to your phone.

help with a summary? Last Rites for Indian Dead by Suzan Shown Harjo What if museums, universities, and government agencies could put your dead relatives on display or keep them in boxes to be cut up and otherwise studied? What if you believed that the spirits of the dead could not rest until their human remains were placed in a sacred area? The ordinary American would say there ought to be a law—and there is, for ordinary Americans. The problem for American Indians is that there are too many laws of the kind that make us the archeological property of the United States and too few of the kind that protect us from such insults. Some of my own Cheyenne relatives’ skulls are in the Smithsonian Institution today, along with those of at least 4,500 other Indian people who were violated in the 1800s by the U.S. Army for an “Indian Crania Study.” It wasn’t enough that these unarmed Cheyenne people were mowed down by the cavalry at the infamous Sand Creek massacre; many were decapitated and their heads shipped to Washington as freight. (The Army Medical Museum’s collection is now in the Smithsonian.) Some had been exhumed° only hours after being buried. Imagine their grieving families’ reaction on finding their loved ones disinterred° and headless. Some targets of the Army’s study were killed in noncombat situations and beheaded immediately. The officer’s account of the decapitation of the Apache chief Mangas Coloradas in 1863 shows the pseudoscientific nature of the exercise. “I weighed the brain and measured the skull,” the good doctor wrote, “and found that while the skull was smaller, the brain was larger than that of Daniel Webster.” These journal accounts exist in excruciating detail, yet missing are any records of overall comparisons, conclusions, or final reports of the Army study. Since it is unlike the Army not to leave a paper trail, one must wonder about the motive for its collection. The total Indian body count in the Smithsonian collection is more than 19,000, and it is not the largest in the country. It is not inconceivable that the 1.5 million of us living today are outnumbered by our dead stored in museums, educational institutions, federal agencies, state historical societies, and private collections. The Indian people are further dehumanized by being exhibited alongside the mastodons and dinosaurs and other extinct creatures. Where we have buried our dead in peace, more often than not the sites have been desecrated. For more than two hundred years, relic-hunting has been a popular pursuit. Lately, the market in Indian artifacts has brought this abhorrent activity to a fever pitch in some areas. And when scavengers come upon Indian burial sites, everything found becomes fair game, including sacred burial offerings, teeth, and skeletal remains.One unusually well-publicized example of Indian grave desecration occurred two years ago in a western Kentucky field known as Slack Farm, the site of an Indian village five centuries ago. Ten men—one with a business card stating “Have Shovel, Will Travel”—paid the landowner $10,000 to lease digging rights between planting seasons. They dug extensively on the forty-acre farm, rummaging through an estimated 650 graves, collecting burial goods, tools, and ceremonial items. Skeletons were strewn about like litter. What motivates people to do something like this? Financial gain is the first answer. Indian relic-collecting has become a multimillion-dollar industry. The price tag on a bead necklace can easily top $1,000; rare pieces fetch tens of thousands. And it is not just collectors of the macabre° who pay for skeletal remains. Scientists say that these deceased Indians are needed for research that someday could benefit the health and welfare of living Indians. But just how many dead Indians must they examine? Nineteen thousand? There is doubt as to whether permanent curation of our dead really benefits Indians. Dr. Emery A. Johnson, former assistant Surgeon General, recently observed, “I am not aware of any current medical diagnostic or treatment procedure that has been derived from research on such skeletal remains. Nor am I aware of any during the thirty-four years that I have been involved in American Indian . . . health care.” Indian remains are still being collected for racial biological studies. While the intentions may be honorable, the ethics of using human remains this way without the full consent of relatives must be questioned. Some relief for Indian people has come on the state level. Almost half of the states, including California, have passed laws protecting Indian burial sites and restricting the sale of Indian bones, burial offerings, and other sacred items. Rep. Charles E. Bennett (D-Fla.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) have introduced bills that are a good start in invoking the federal government’s protection. However, no legislation has attacked the problem headon by imposing stiff penalties at the marketplace, or by changing laws that make dead Indians the nation’s property. Some universities—notably Stanford, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Seattle—have returned, or agreed to return, Indian human remains; it is fitting that institutions of higher education should lead the way.Congress is now deciding what to do with the government’s extensive collection of Indian human remains and associated funerary objects. The secretary of the Smithsonian, Robert McC. Adams, has been valiantly° attempting to apply modern ethics to yesterday’s excesses. This week, he announced that the Smithsonian would conduct an inventory and return all Indian skeletal remains that could be identified with specific tribes or living kin. But there remains a reluctance generally among collectors of Indian remains to take action of a scope that would have a quantitative impact and a healing quality. If they will not act on their own—and it is highly unlikely that they will—then Congress must act. The country must recognize that the bodies of dead American Indian people are not artifacts to be bought and sold as collector’s items. It is not appropriate to store tens of thousands of our ancestors for possible future research. They are our family. They deserve to be returned to their sacred burial grounds and given a chance to rest. The plunder of our people’s graves has gone on too long. Let us rebury our dead and remove this shameful past from America’s future. 0 comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) __________________________________________ Recently Dugg Stories The Covers Project The Covers Project began as a simple idea to help listeners discover new music by showcasing covers of famous songs.

I need a converter >> Yes a video converter? I downloaded a little funny clip from YouTube. The video was in flv format so I converted in to avi format. But then after I burned the video on a DVD and when I inserted the DVD inside the DVD player there was a message saying register this program. See I downloaded the converter for free but after downloading you have to pay for it and I don't have money. So guys I want you guy's to tell me a convert's name which is free and which I can download from the internet
