AND HERE'S OUR REPLY:

Dear Marci:

Thanks for contacting us at YouGottaSeeThisVideo about the Sarah Palin clip. My name is Bob Reno and I publish the site along with several others you may have heard of including BadJocks.com and DumbassDaily.com.

Interesting thing about that clip: we were linking to it from YouTube.com, so your complaint is really with them at this point, although it's kind of a moot point as they have already pulled it. So our post does not contain the video clip anymore, just our description of it, which I think we can keep in place, but I will check with my Internet lawyer if you'd like.

Just a side note: how exactly is this violating your copyright? Yeah, I know technically you own the rights to it, but really, it's not like you're going to keep showing it every night during the campaign like a "Seinfeld" rerun or use it on a regular basis if Mrs. Palin gets elected. It'll just sit in your archives gathering dust. Your station is more famous for that clip now than you can possibly know and you want bloggers to pull it? You can't buy PR like that, but I guess as Senior Vice President, that one is your call.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message so I know that you know that we have complied with your request.

EARLIER POST: Governor Sarah Palin has an interesting background, including a stint as a sports reporter on Channel 2 in Alaska in the late 1980's. Here's a clip of her with her big 'ole 80's hair talking about basketball, baseball, and doncha know, dog sledding. Yeah, she's totally qualified for the White House.

VIDEO CLIP PULLED ON REQUEST OF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER, SCHURZ COMMUNICATIONS, THE PARENT COMPANY OF KTUU.

Although . . . you never know: you might be able to find another copy of it at YouTube if you look hard.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Saves TV Crew By Shooting Tiger With Tranquilizer

Mr.Putin has been very busy lately with all that stuff about invading Georgia but he wasn't too busy to save a TV crew from an attacking tiger. He was reportedly visiting the Ussuriisky Nature Reserve in the far east of Russia to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild. Just as Putin arrived to the reserve with a group of wildlife specialists he saw the tiger run towards a nearby camera crew. Putin quickly shot the tiger and sedated it with a tranquilizer gun. Geez, out politicians just shoot their friends while hunting.

60 Cars Valdalized in Florida with Anti-Obama Sayings By Alleged Hillary Clinton Supporters

Can't the Clintonites ever let things die? Some angry people who left their business cards claiming to be Hillary Clinton supporters vandalized some 60 cars were spray painted with sayings like Obama does crack and several racist remarks. Pretty stupid and childish if you ask us, and we know stupid and childish.

Sue Simmons of WNBC in New York Drops F Bomb on Live Promo

Oh dear Sue. Someone is in trouble. When talking on one of those cheesy promos, this NBC 4 anchor manages to use the dreaded f word during a live promo. It wasn't one of those oops, I accidentally said it moments, she actually says, "What the F**k are you doing?" Who was she cursing at? Her co-anchor? The camera man? The audience?

Real of Fake? Bird Poops in Reporter's Mouth

We can't quite tell if this video of a smug channel 7 reporter is real or not. It appears that the report on a bird infestation went from gross to gag in a matter of seconds. At first the bird took a dump on his shoulder and then BAMN right in the kisser. So super gross that we had to watch it a couple of times. You tell us, real or fake?

CNN Anchor Jeff Cafferty Refuses to Report on Lindsay Lohan Arrest

So in our world, it's news when Lindsay Lohan falls off the wagon and gets arrested for a DUI mere days after completing rehab. I guess CNN has higher 'standards' and Jack Cafferty of the Cafferty File refused to read the teleprompter about her arrest during his live taping. Here's a clip of his noble protest.

Reporter Pelted With Beads at Mardi Gras

Reprters just love to go down to Louisiana for Mardi Grad. With all the booze, beads, and ...er..girls...it's a paradise for craziness. This reporter from Fox News 4 in Kansas City, attempted to file a report from the parade route but some revelers with a bunch of beads had other ideas. Word to the wise, those beads can really hurt.

Optician Goes Crazy on Reporter

We've all seen those news reports when someone is accused of doing something wrong, a reporter goes up and tries to get a response. Usually it's followed by a blurred face and bunch of 'no comments.' Not this guy though, according to the clip, he's an optometrist accused of selling counterfeit frames. He goes on a wild, expletive filled rant and attacks the reporter with a door, throws snowballs at the camera guy, then locks himself in the office. Too bad he doesn't even calm down for the police . . . they called out the SWAT team on him. You gotta see the video for all of the crazy guy goodness.
