~ Mosque-Erade ~
John Oliver says Muslims are allowed to put a mosque near Ground Zero, just like Catholics can build a church next to a playground.
“What Newt Gingrinch is trying to say is that Islam, like every religion, has to be responsible for its biggest assholes.”

If you click the “Copy Embed Code” on Comedy Central, this is what you get
(click to embiggen):
The blueish highlighted portion? Yeah, that’s the actual embed code. The rest of it? Unnecessary.
2,239 characters given, 307 characters needed. If you use the highlighted portion, this is the video you get:
Sorry dashboard viewers, you’ll have to hit the top-right corner of this post to see the two embedded videos below.
If you use Comedy Central’s version, you get this:
| The Daily Show With Jon Stewart | Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c | |||
| Mosque-Erade | ||||
| ||||
But there’s a bigger issue. Literally. If you view it on their website you get a much bigger version of the video than what they give you to share (640px vs 360px).
Then there are the ads.
The “Share This!” version starts with a 3 second “promo” for Comedy Central, and then there’s an extremely ugly scrawling text ad that goes across the top of Jon Stewart’s forehead. The original version does not.
Comedy Central wants you to share their stuff on your site, so they give you a much smaller and crappier version of the video, plus several text “ads” that tell you when The Daily Show is on, and several “related topic” links to their site.
Or you could do what I did, which was open up “View Source” on the page that has the video you want to share, and then locate the HTML code they use, and paste that into Tumblr instead.
(For those who don’t “read” HTML but want to trim down the excess: when you copy the code from a site, look for the <embed> and </embed> tags, or the <object> and </object> tags. That’s the part you actually want. Everything outside of them is probably unnecessary.)
Anyway, if you’re still interested, the video link at the very top of this post is Jon Stewart and John Oliver talking about the Mosque nonsense. It’s quite funny.
