Funny. I just googled the population of Reno. 4 times as many people saw this on youtube than live in the city he does the news. ---

Free exposure! In all honesty, I have affected the world more by posting that reddit link than anything else I’ve ever done. ---

So, does anyone have actual numbers for how much Amazon makes from the sex-toy trade? ---

I will just say this: I’ve spent the last five years working more than full-time to collect data for a scientific paper and thesis that I’m preparing to write and defend. If I’m exceedingly lucky, the number of people who will someday be aware of this work at any level might get up into three digits. That probably won’t happen. ---

You’re too pessimistic. When you finish your thesis, you’re going to post a thread to tell us and celebrate, and more than a hundred Dopers will read it and hence be aware of your work at some level. ---

It’s a blooper because he meant to say “Amazon sells a ton of dildos”. ---

Just saw it on _At Midnight_ on Comedy Central. This is fucking crazy. I guess I know comedy when I see it. All you Dopers got it first! I think I’ll have a beer. ---

That clip on comedy central was credited to smeghead, so you got that. Where are _our_ money-checks? ---

Orson Scott Card’s _Ender’s Game_ is often cited as predicting modern Internet culture, with the subplot of Peter & Valentine writing about their political views on blogs under false identities. Their essays have a dramatic effect on politics and social norms, and ultimately dictate the path of post-war policy. Naturally, the book would’ve been far more prescient had they instead spent their time posting cute kitten videos and Minecraft Let’s Plays. ---

They can’t fire that guy, he’s got to be responsible for a ratings spike. If I lived in that viewing area I’d start watching just to see what crazy thing he might say next. ---

I guess he’s kinda known for saying some crazy shit now and then. That was the first time I’ve ever watched that channel at that time of the morning. ---

Y’know, selling"tons" of sex toys may not be so impressive depending on what they’re made of… > [@Gatopescado](#): > > I guess he’s kinda known for saying some crazy shit now and then.

Holy Crap! The wife just showed me clips from Kimmel (one of the few that pronounces Nevada correctly), some English guy I’ve never heard of the Comedy Central thing all featuring this clip. She says she has hundreds of subscribers to her YouTube thing (with a total of exactly ONE video) who are going to be very disappointed with anything else that might get posted in the future. It will either be weiner dogs fighting or running to funny music, a kid or fat guy skiing. Maybe some sheep or chickens. Not likely to get a million hits. The internet is whack.
