    Watch it in high quality in the youtube screening room: http://es.youtube.com/ytscreeningroom?v=jmR0V6s3NKk (and stop linking to this stupid milk&cookies site. give us the direct youtube link)

    Thanks, much better. Downloaded the MP4 too.

    I prefer linking to MandC because Youtube links die faster than butterflies. Me and the other mods and admin can update links on M&C, so that all site linking there are kept up to date in one click. That’s the power of indirection. Otherwise I should search and update all my posts one at a time.

    Also, M&C links back to us in the measure we link to them.

    P.S. And I also hate Youtube.

    hm, but doesnt MandC only link to youtube? so when the youtube link dies, their link doesnt work anymore either, right? And M&C is bloody ugly, too. Such a distracting layout. Its no fun to watch videos on M&C

    > doesnt MandC only link to youtube?

    Nope. For example, “Return to Menu” links to Vimeo, while “Western Spaghetti” is hosted in house. But in those cases I linked to the original because those links should stay there for long. (And also I only hate Youtube, not Vimeo…)

    > when the youtube link dies, their link doesnt work anymore either, right?

    Yes, so I (or some other M&C moderator) only have to update that link. I can also preventively submit a mirror link, so that when this one dies, and somebody flag the link as broken, the new link comes automagically in.
    As I said, otherwise I should update all my posts (on Ticklebooth, on No Fat Clips, on ComputerLove, and wherever I happen to drop a link) one by one .

    > Such a distracting layout. Its no fun to watch videos on M&C

    I’ll send Jaxon (MandC admin) the link to this post. He’s always receptive about criticism.
