Lately, I have had a unique opportunity to view a lot of online material (don't ask why, it's too hard to explain). Primarily, I have been watching video clips on YouTube. I have come to the conclusion that YouTube has to now be America's pastime.
Sure, this post may seem a little behind the times, but I am not trying to point out that YouTube exists. I have merely become amazed about how we, as a people, spend our free time. I do believe in the Internet. Obviously, since you are reading this. I think it is an amazing place full of wonder and intrigue. It is also full of stupid shit and retards. This is where YouTube comes in.
I think it is just terrific that there is an online outlet for people to express themselves with complete freedom and autonomy. It lets people, regardless of there simplicities, feel special...important to their friends and family. Unfortunately, YouTube has become a cesspool for people to show other people what they do in private with their, sometimes, free time.
Basically, what I have learned is that people will do anything for their 10 minutes of fame (I have reduced it from 15 because YouTube only allows 10 minute clips). I have briefly summarized the things I have seen on YouTube to give you a synopsis of what people apparently believe:
1. People really think other people want to see their kids do a somersault.
2. People really think other people want to see their horses.
3. There are a lot of white women that think they can make their ass move like a black woman.
4. People really like to pretend they are Luke/Anakin Skywalker.
5. Everyone can sing a song better than the original artist.
6. A 87 picture montage of yourself is appropriate.
7. A lame video set to music makes it better.
8. Michael Jackson is an o.k. guy.
9. 8 seconds of video followed by 4 and a half minutes of black is cool.
10. Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants swear uncontrollably.
11. 8 year old white kids are America's Best Dance Crew.
12. Framing the camera appropriately is unnecessary.
