PLEASE NOTE: VIDEO MOVED: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWPBb6AAbrE

I've updated the video with some minor additional content and fixed a problem with the banned domain list (littlegreenfootballs lost a letter). And I uploaded the new version to a channel dedicated to my blog Underground Research Initiative. The video here fine enough to watch. But its on my personal channel. If you want to link or embed, please do me a favor and use the new video hosted at that link. 

---- STORY UPDATE ----

UPDATE: ON MONDAY NOVEMBER 4TH, REDDIT POLITICS MODS ANNOUNCED A LIFTING OF THE BAN FOR MOTHER JONES MAGAZINE. ALL OTHER BANS REMAIN IN PLACE.
