Okay, I laughed out loud, and felt empathy for the modern version.

Two sets of subtitles.

Bonus points if you read the bottom.

It's really mildly annoying that I start working somewhere that blocks YouTube and you all go YouTube happy.

Anybody willing to volunteer to represent any YouTube links as ascii animation?

Ghoulish Delight · 02-14-2007, 03:00 PM

Do the block content, or just the URL? Does this link work?

Visible MOJO, GD! Thanks!

LMAO!!!!!!! This is part of what I do. I am sending this out.

Embedded YouTube videos are blocked as well. I can access your URL but there's nothing in it.

what about non-youtube flv files? can you see the menstruation vid I linked to in the Girl Stuff thread?

Alex · 02-14-2007, 03:56 PM

Maybe, but I'm not going to try.

But yes, I'm sure that if the resource is coming from a non-blocked source it would play fine. But I'm not looking to circumvent the company policy (if I were, getting to LiveJournal would be much more important to me).

It was more a bemused comment on the fact that now that I can't easily see them suddenly it seems like half a dozen YouTube videos are getting posted here every day. (Frequently with just a link and a "wow, this is funny!")

I am in the same boat, Alex.

I can view 'em, but the computer I use 99% of the time at work doesn't have sound, and I don't have headphones here to use with the one that does have sound.
