Hello fellow guild members.

For those of you who are annoyed by text talk, this is the video for you. It is by a Scottish comedian with the screen name of MarkDayComedy. His videos are editing using a series of jump cuts, so do not be surprised if you see him breaking continuity by going from spot to spot during his rant. As an editing rule of thumb, jump cuts are bad unless they are done intentionally, which this is a good example of.

The video, known as "The Smiley Intervention," can be found here:

Enjoy the movie!

Haha, kill the smileys. Its anoying because of all the dang smileys people use. Really, like I'v seen someone who used about 10 smileys in one sentence.

Now, you have to wonder...

Who owns the most cats in this guild?

I love it, I love it, I just e-mailed this to some friends who will adore it as well. I especially like how the cat just hangs out in a pot at the end. Thank-you very much for sharing this - I actually laughed out loud.

Vadatajs: I have a cat, it must be from the odd Korean emote I'll let slip when playing online games.

Black Cat Fighter: There is a mistake in grammar in your signature. It should be "You're" or "You are" going to donate to me. Not "your" going to donate to me.

*Kneels in prayer before his Bast altar*

Beloved Bast, mistress of happiness and bounty, twin of the Sun God, slay the evil that afflicts our minds (and the people who associate us, your worshippers, with the vile Emoticon users) as you slew the serpent Apep. With your graceful stealth anticipate the moves of all who perpetrate cruelties and stay their hands against the children of light (and delete all their videos from You Tube). Grant us the joy of song and dance, and ever watch over us in the lonely places in which we must walk (like the Internet, where there's no sympathy for cat worshippers).

-applaudes-

I'm glad I donn't send smilies, LOLs and endless exclamation marks; we already have two cats, I doubt we need more.

I use smilies sometimes. =P

Actually, I've seen that before, it wasn't all that amusing to me; not bad though.
