My Predictions

Will "Nozzle Rage" be mentioned publically by either McCain or Obama by 9-04-08?

Settled as No

NozzleRage is a video campaign designed, through viral YouTube and Internet distribution, to make clear what is happening to this country and its drivers. Its goal is to channel the fury most Americans feel into effective action.

The first of a series of 30-second NozzleRage videos features an OPEC gas pump ripping off and then attacking an ordinary American consumer. Conceived, directed and produced by the fabled Hollywood team of David and Jerry Zucker, it directs viewers to the www.NozzleRage.com website where they can register to view upcoming videos and find out what they can do to end our suicidal vulnerability to OPEC’s oil cartel.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
Note: Settlement date is last day of both party conventions.

This is my first time trying to embed a video into a question. I flubbed it up and the video does not show.

Will this work:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zSaZ5v1eW5I"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zSaZ5v1eW5I" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

And if so, can I add this code to my question instead of the previous code.

@ chatarra -- for now, only Admins can embed a video, or make an actual link. (The HTML code that can be used is now shown (in small type) within the "question creation window".)

You could send a flag, requesting that an admin (category editor) embed the video clip for you.
(Include the code that you want them to use in the flag, along with info on what to remove ;-)

I will be happy to void and re-post this question if I can get the video to show with the question.

Thanks RyanJ,
I was trying to find a question that I could create, just to showcase the video.
