Hey Young World.
Mic check 1,2,1,2.
What's up internet? So, I've decided to start a Vlog (a video log), which is a word I only slightly despise more than Blog (a bullshit log) that will primarily focus on videos from the internet, and my corresponding thoughts (not necessarily in that order).
In an age where we have YouTube (God bless it) and other services where anyone with a computer can upload whatever they want regardless of copyright or social stature, I believe it's important to embrace and maximize this technology for the glorious tool that it truly is. With access to everyone within walking distance of a computer, this equal platformed new medium is the most important innovation to happen to communication and the free transfer of art and ideas since the original Napster.
Within the one year, YouTube has changed the way we use the internet. Whether it be politics, art, or just communication between ugly people, this innovation represents the best of what our human technology can achieve, as well as gives a glowing foreshadow into the future.
Sadly, as with any new technology, it has become an object of scorn from rich idiots. Assholes who exclusivly cater to the dumb, such as Vince McMahon and Lorne Michaels, have inexplicably gone out of there way to silence this voice that would otherwise act as both free promotion and direct communication from their audience. Look no further than last December's "Lazy Sunday," a playful sketch that got the flatlining "SNL" its most attention since the Ashlee Simpson incident, and its most popular intentional contribution to pop culture since Will Ferrel's departure almost five years ago.
The ratings don't lie. The clip, which became an internet phenominon as well as launch YouTube into the stratusphere, proved the power of this next-level word-of-mouth with a dramatic increase in the audience the following week. At a time where America had all but given up on the dreadfully dismal institution, the ball was once again in the shows court to regain a lost audience, but opted instead to kill whatever buzz was being generated and threaten YouTube, its potential saving grace, with legal action.
With the parallels here to be drawn between YouTube and the early incarnation of Napster, there forbodes a potential for this new technology to be stripped away from the corporations to fear it. Until that time comes, its important for us to take advantage of this new technology and use is for the free transmission of as much as we possibly can.
Please consider this whorehouse on the backroad of the information superhighway my contribution to enrich your life. So if you're a bitch, quit being a bitch, and enjoy my clips. Otherwise, please enjoy my clips and continue not being a bitch.
