Reddit is king of the interwebs

When Gustavo Almodovar delivered his final report as a general assignment reporter for ABC Central Florida affiliate WFTV in October 2008, he tossed it back to the studio the way he always did: in that husky, baritone voice synonymous with local television news.
"Gu-stah-vo Almo-doe-var, Channel 9, Eyewitness News."

Little did Almodovar know his signature sign-off—replete with its furrowed brow and pointed head turn—would become the basis of an unlikely viral video sensation, albeit four years later.

A 38-second video of Almodovar's sign-offs, produced by a local fan, was uploaded to YouTube a few days after he left WFTV. But it wasn't until last week, when a Reddit user discovered it, that it became the stuff of Internet folklore.

"I'm not so sure it's worthy of the attention it has received," Almodovar, 46, now a marketing brand manager at Florida Hospital in Orlando, told Yahoo News on Monday. "Aside from friends and a few co-workers teasing me about the video, life has been quite ordinary. It's like bubble gum. People will chew it for a little while, toss it and move on."

They haven't quite yet. The video has been viewed more than a million times, garnering coverage from The Sun, The Huffington Post and Jezebel, to name just a few.

Only me and grind are really big into it. It mostly exists as something I dump hours and hours into if I'm foolish enough to think I can just go there for 20 minutes.
 
the one thing I will say about reddit is, I logged out one day and I noticed the front page, and the default reddit is pure shit. I never noticed it because reddit is highly customizable and I am not subscribed to almost any of the defaults... it was all memes and just stupid bullshit. But reddit has a lot of really good niche communities, you just have to stay away from the big defaults subreddits

Has anybody else noticed the social networking options at various porn sites. Its very dangerous when you are surfing left handed. LA should have brought that up on referendum instead of that stupid condom rule.

Those options don't work, I've tried them. Now if I want share from my secret spank bank I have to do it manually.

Well that's good to know.

The only thing that would be more embarrassing than having facebook learn that I enjoyed that donkey video would be to have someone find out that I use facebook. :)

We'll just keep it between me and my cia agent (God is dead and Bush replaced him with big brother) .

Yeah. Both my sister and brother are into reddit, and they always come up to me asking if I'd heard about "the new thing on reddit", and I'm like... probably not. They have a more or less default setup.

I'm like, yeah, of course I'd totally like to tell all of my friends that I just fapped to some Japanese Bukkake. Who wouldn't? Everyone just wants to know that, and it's so considerate of them to put those social networking options there.
 
Hey Reddit,
I am new to this forum, but I think I dated your "icon" (or whatever you call the pictures that go with your online name) when I was a around 18!
