My newest video: Why is Sex a Sin?!?

[imrational]

I just finished my newest youtube video.  Once again, constructive criticism is welcome.  It basically describes some of the basic tactics that religions/cults use to retain their followers.  I don't think it is as good as my "Why do Atheists care about Religion"... but hopefully this one doesn't suck royally.

Also, I've earned "Director" status on youtube!!
This means that I can now upload videos over 10minutes and 100MB.  This will allow me to upload a video I'm making about homeless in Las Vegas as well as some other projects (computing program allowable).

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Small grammatical error:

this is some strong brain washing tactics here

would properly be "these are some strong brain washing tactics" or "this is a strong brain washing tactic"

The Family guy "digity digity" is actually "gigidy gigidy" or something like that...it starts with a g.

Those are the only things I saw, great vid....i especially like the end frame with the stripper nun (not sure what theists will think about that though...)

[imrational]

Hey thanks for the feedback!  Damn, I can't believe I screwed up gigity gigity (or whatever the hell it is!).  Thanks also for pointing out the grammatical error... I'm usually better than that  

I'm a little pissed at youtube.  This is the second video I've posted that had the end chopped off.  After the clip is done playing, you can manually scroll to the end of the video (all that skipped is the song credit and a statement next to the nun, saying "It's actually damned good")

Hey, you'rerational, I'm curious if you even remember me. And oddly enough, you sound just like I thought you would.....and I'm drunk.....isn't that funny?!? HAHAHAHAHHAHAA

But soberly, you bring up points we already thought of, but it's good to get it out in the open. Christians ramble the same thing over and over, at least our ideas are a little more.......rational....imrational? Agent Triple 6 of Her Majesty's 69?

Don't be pissed at youtube, thanks to them I am reliving my childhood by watching all the Batman cartoons I can get a hold of. He used to make me think of being moral before I learned to be a high Mach.

[imrational]

Big Mac, yeah dude, I remember you from the AN when you were Frito.  How're they hanging?

What are some of the links to the batman cartoons?

[Squid]

What program did you use to create your videos, out of curiosity?

[imrational]

I primarily use "Photo to Movie"

I also use iMovie (standard video-editing program on Macs).  PoM allows you to export directly in iMovie, so I can use both programs fairly effortlessly.

[Squid]

Ah, cool.  I was just wondering.  I've thought about making little videos much like those before but just didn't have sufficient motivation to find out how to do it.

[imrational]

PoM makes it ridiculously easy.  I can't recommend it enough.

[Big Mac]

you'rerational, do a search for batsybeyond for all his videos of Batman Beyond (so far the fist 30 episodes). Or just put in Batman TAS in the search and you'll get almost every Batman series you could think of. Looking back, it was pretty adult for a kids show. They used guns, talked about death, violence, hinted at sex often, etc. I'm surprised they got away with it when Spider-Man couldn't have actual guns or even mention the word "blood". Ain't it ironic?

[imrational]

I was/am a big fan of all those WB shows (Batman TAS, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, JLU, etc).  

I remember hearing a story about how the writers wanted Commissioner Gordon to get beat up for an episode.  The censor board went ballistic!  So, the writers re-submitted the story, but changed the victim to Robin instead and the censors allowed it!!!!

[Big Mac]

The one that shocked me (in that it was allowed) was "Over the Edge" where Batgirl dies, ableit in a dream, but dies and Bruce and Gordon basically get killed in the end by Bane. I suppose because it was revealed it was a dream they allowed it. Batman cartoons are always the better of WB line-ups. There are quite a few X-men and JLU floating around Youtube.

[imrational]

Yeah, I bought the first two seasons of JLU after seeing a few episodes on the web.  Greatest superhero cartoon ever!

Hey there. Did you really do "why do atheists care about religion"? I saw that on another forum, posted it elsewhere and it's being... *ahem* discussed on yet another forum. I don't think your vid sucked at all.

I'm new here and I know that some moderators are a little twitchy about linking to other web forums, but if you REALLY want to look in on the discussion your vid has provoked, pm me and I'll send you the URL.

I'm at work at the moment *grumbles...* so I'll have to check out your newest vid later.

[Whitney]

I don't mind links to other forums...I post them too.  So you (and everyone else) have admin approval to post that link or any others you come across.
