Why not mix those onions with some nice Doritos Consomme?

Message to Chow: Please don't censor our comments. If comments get removed, people take that as a sign that Chow supports the type of draconian censorship that bills like the SOPA try to put into effect. Chow, please take a stand against unneeded censorship and allow people to express themselves. I enjoy your videos, as do others, but we all hate censorship (especially the SOPA).

@CyberStriker While it'd be great if comments were actually relevant to the video at hand, we understand and appreciate the occasional joke, as long as it's not malicious. However, posting things like "consomme that shit" over and over again on every video does not add to the conversation. There's a big difference between expressing yourself and just creating spam.
