Incorrect. You fail to recognize how malleable English is. Of isn't necessary and nazi need not be capitalized because I'm not using it formally as a reference to the third reich, but as a common noun.

Journalistic formality is not the end-all of grammar rules.

Ex: Many a man have tried to correct my grammar, only to realize that there is no singular bible of usage or syntax.

You can argue about the "of," admittedly. But you cannot argue about the capitalization of "Nazi" or "Third Reich." "Nazi" only exists as a proper noun.

oats 04-10-2014 07:52 PM

Also incorrect, though you're right that I should've capsed Third Reich. Nazi does exist as a word to describe someone who is authoritarian or imposes their views on others, similar to how the Bible should be capsed but bible can also be loosely used to describe an authoritative manual on something.

Let's just agree that English is a fluid, creative language that is at its best when it's flexible. But in order to break the rules effectively you have to know them first.

They actually do. Videos have improved a lot even as MTV has died. Arcade Fire's "Reflektor" experiential video was awesome. Some other excellent ones:

We had the same thought on OK Go. I don't even like OK Go, but that video is so fucking good.

The worst part of that video is the song. OK Go's lead singer might be the worst.

e11even 04-11-2014 03:33 AM

i concur. the mustache guy looks ridiculously funny though.

another one that was annoying at first but kinda grew on me was the one in ltime-lapse photography. they eventually turned visionary into try-hard. kinda tragic.

Certain 04-11-2014 03:44 AM

Your time-lapse comment reminded me of another cool video with a song that doesn't rise to the occasion in my opinion:
