Jamie stumbled upon a very choice video this morning called I Will Derive. To the tune of some song you've never heard before, singing about subjects you know nothing about... oh and a a TI-84 cameo. It features the dopiest dancing you'll see on YouTube today. I promise.

So far, we're still unable to automatically filter the Idle section out of our front pages.

Don't get angry, get even (Score:5, Funny)
First I thought "Oh fuck,
this is travesty".
The Slashlords fin'ly lost their touch,
this really cannot be.
But the idle section stayed,
and while I cried out "This is wrong",
the trolls grew strong.
And even Taco plays along!
Yes, they are back
from all the chans.
They took the training for the flaming
and are here to grab their chance.
Oh, do you think you have seen bad,
well then you're in for a surprise.
Cause on the one hand there is fluff
but now get ready for demise!
Go Taco go, give junk the floor.
Ignore your readers.
Nerds don't matter anymore.
This idle style is hot, we are taking over Fark.
Yet still I wonder...
Did Slashdot really jump the shark?
Don't link YouTube,
just post a dupe!
About cold fusion with hot grits
greased by Piquepaille's lube.
Even Katz stories are fine
Even goatse seems divine
when idle's stage
is the frontpage.
While this may sound like I'm new,
my ID confides
that while I could not pay
for lower ones I've seen the tides.
It seems the terrorists have won.
Breakouts of common sense are gone.
I used to mod.
Now I'm just one more old sod.
And I say now,
get off my lawn!
I hope that in Korea's shelters
I can still respawn.
And you can stick your idle site,
its sorry style like soylent green.
I'd rather pony up for pink
and I bet so does your Kathleen...
Go Taco go, give junk the floor.
(alternate part for "Yes, they are back...":
Slashdot cries out,
The movie blares.
Oh yes, on weekends they'll submit
it till the firehose declares
that the frontpage is their scene,
the idle section is their heir,
and if you don't vote for those films
we've still got Jamie over there...

This is not that different from news. I could read all the news sites that are feature on slashdot, but I don't have time to so I quite like someone else picking stuff thats vaguely geek related and putting it in one place.
I always see some stuff on slashdot I am not interested in. My solution is simple: I don't click on the read more link and skip to the next article. Its not like there are so many stories on slashdot that you cant see all the previews easily yet and there is no need to read every single thing thats gets posted to the front page even if the summary indicates you won't like it.
In this case what were you all expecting when you clicked on a summary which told you that it linked to a utube video featuring maths and crap dancing?

In St. Louis, it took a 100% increase in gas prices to motivate people actually start carpooling, up ~30% recently. Every dime increase instigated vocal outrage, but little to no action. But when it starts eating into our beer budgets, then we call Ride-Finders.
Slashdot has jumped the shark about 30 times now, and we still read it, we still participate. Heck, this is the first post I've been motivated to comment on in quite some time.
All you youtube player haters best just chill. If you hate it so bad, it's a relatively free internet for the time being (legislation pending). Go start your own slashcode site with zero youtubes. We'll be right behind you in the other car. No seriously. We're not going to ditch you, honest.

Then I read the comments and realized that the video wasn't funny or appropriate, and was in fact a harbinger of the Apocalypse. I shouldn't be smiling and happy - I should be ranting and outraged. I should be writing my elected officials and forming citizens action committees.
How dare slashdot trick people into a watching a silly youtube video buy disguising it as a story about a silly youtube video. Don't the slashdot editors realize that there is only a limited amount of webspace space on the internet, and they shouldn't be wasting it on stuff like this?
I am so glad I have seen the error of my ways. Now I just need to know where I can get one of these giant sticks to ram up my pigu, so I too can be a diligent defender of Slashdot integrity.

This is rightly in the Idle section, and if you were just looking for something to pass a few minutes and maybe a giggle or two... "choose" to go to the Idle section... just like you would choose to wander around YouTube by itself without having Slashdot.
Weekend or not, I think most people expect Slashdot to provide informative "nerdy" things with a certain amount of dignity.

If it has funny stuff like this, I'm there.
I think that, once in a blue moon, putting something on the front page from other sections that don't normally make it there is a good thing.

Or at the very least, as has already been mentioned a few times, they should make it possible to filter idle, like everything else.
The reaction does seem a bit strong, but I think it is a cumulative thing - and this post just produced a watershed of responses.

I love slashdot, been here for years, and defend it often against the 'slashdot sucks' trolls, but this is ricackulous. Please oh please slashdot powers-that-be, reconsider your decision to put idle stories on the frontpage.
