No really, how did no one catch that the first time they heard it? That wasn't doctored, that was badly hashed together with all the subtlety of a bright blue scrotum in a strip club.

Because most fox viewers dont care about racism. If they caught it, they probably didnt care.

Fox viewers weren't who saw it. People who use youtube and are a part of internet culture saw it. How many avid fox viewers are into internet culture?

Aw, hell, RickRoll'd again.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Wow.. I dont really give a damn about some monkey runnin loose since I just watched it till I heard Bright blue scrotums and broke in laughter.

That made my day.

Aw, hell, RickRoll'd again.

And then you ruined it by announcing it.

Hey, don't get pissed when somebody does the decent thing and announces that something they followed was a Rick-Roll.

Decent is a matter of perspective.

What constitutes those things that are absolute and those things that are matters of perspective is itself a matter of perspective.

Yes. And your perspective is clearly askew.

I've used that URL so many times I can recognize it off the top of my head.


And I'm fairly certain it doesn't count as a Rickroll if you know it's a Rickroll

Doesn't matter and...wait, you've done so many Rick Rolls that you recognize the URL? You're an evil bastard.

Yes. And your perspective is clearly askew.
Only relative to yours. I know plenty of people who think-
I know some pe-
I know a few people who-
I know at least one person who thinks-
I can pretend that I know a person who thinks that my perspective is accurate, balanced and appropriate.

So...how is Bright Blue Scrotum a racist remark?

You mean the part where the film was spliced so it would be an "anatomical description" of Attorney General Eric Holder?

You know, a Macaca Moment?

The offensive video clip was doctored so that the viewer heard Gibson using the words "bright blue scrotum" in reference to Attorney General Eric Holder, rather than to a defining characteristic of a monkey on the loose in Seattle.

I'm disappointed. When I saw the thread title I thought was about someone with a very unusual medical condition. :(

Slow down. As far as I understand, Gibson didn't actually say that.

Damn, the title made me think the thread was going to be about a smurf porn film. Reality is less interesting :(

It's the first thing that comes up on Youtube when you search for Rickroll. So I use that one a lot.

RhynoD. Five bloody years I've had this SN and no one can spell it the damn right way.

Because most fox viewers dont care about racism. If they caught it, they probably didnt care.

Fox viewers caught it. They blog on the Internet, and it was caught shortly after some idiot posted it on YouTube.

Why?

Because we look at liberal sites like HuffingtonPost, who initially posted a link to the video and HuffPo claimed it was real.

It was classic comedy gold - HuffPo had to post a retraction after being caught with their pants down.

The ass who doctored the video got fired from his regular job:

Gibson may sue.

Oh, and for the details:

Yes, that would be the article that this thread is about and which was posted in the OP.

This thread reminds me of an infamous party incident in college. :p

Apparently, KoL missed that - it's as though KoL thought this was all Fox's doing and all Fox's embarassment.

Eh, some people.
It'd have been funny even if it wasn't doctored. It would have been considered an allowable joke here no matter who the next person referred to would be. Holder was a "victim" of opportunity. People that have nothing better to do with their time than finding racism where there is none should be kicked in their bright blue scrotum.
