Holy freaking wow. I am keeping this guy up so I can show the video to my wife. I think she'll understand alot more of why I think what I think just by watching this. Heck, I almost think this is better than The end of suburbia.

It is, but a lot of people don't look at the Open Discussion forum. Also it doesn't show up in the "Last 24 Hours" list. I'll move it to Current Events for greater visibility.
