Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Just tallis? Why no tefillin? Must be chol hamoed. Either that or he has explosive diarrhea. One or the other.

I was so sad, thought one of the kids said hot meals, till I realized he said Hot Wheels  :P

What a surreal and emotional experience it must have been (I got emotional just watching it). I imagine when they brought out the TV, everyone else was thinking why didn't I think of that. But in the bloopers, people asked for things like a car and a diamond ring, so I guess they had to be selective, keep those people talking till they found another gift that worked with the concept.

The diamond ring was actually done, complete with a proposal by Santa...

I saw that but I assume it was a fake ring (or it would have been the feature of their video)

I saw that, but 1) I think she meant actually getting married, and 2) not all diamond rings are created equal. I highly doubt they bought a $5k ring. The TV probably only cost $1k, you can buy a diamond ring for much less (or much more of course).

1) She clearly said she only wants the ring 2) All the same it's the thought that counts :)

Right, because they showed all of the footage. If after that they got her to say she wants a new purse, that's not likely something that would be worthy of inclusion. And like I said, the thought is marriage, not the ring, despite the joke Santa makes in the bloopers.

Not only that, but the best kind of positive, emotional PR you could ask for.
