Youtube.

I love youtube. I love it for its wealth of information, misinformation, explosions, music videos, reviews, jackass stunts, talent, and just about anything else you could possible think of. For many people, youtube is a way to express themselves to the world. In doing so, some people have even become famous.

I spend more time than I should on youtube.com, often watching videos about stuff that interests me, as well as other stupid shit my brother emails me.  My favorite videos include; the Zelda theme on an 11-string bass, vader sessions, evil state of the union addresses, and possibly my favorite, a miniature working Ferrari 312 PB.

I find it amazing how so many people with so many different interests use youtube on a daily basis.  It has such a diverse group of videos, something for everybody.  Whether you are straight, gay, tall, short, fat, thin, republican, democrat, old, young, smart, dumb, hungry, not hungry, loud, quiet, or giraffe, it makes no difference.  I suppose the only people that wouldn't like youtube are people who: 1) don't like the internet 2) don't like videos 3) don't know what youtube is.

There are a couple things about youtube that I would change.  One would be that there are now ads when you watch videos.  I find ads extremely annoying, especially when they get in the way of me watching something.  It is like somebody I don't like standing in front of the TV whenever I try to watch it.  The other thing is corporate censorship.  Television networks often prevent people from posting their videos.  That is why you will never see a video from SNL or The Office on there.  Same goes for Robot Chicken, although some clips have slipped past.

Overall, I have spent way too much time on youtube since discovering it a couple years ago, but I am no worse for the wear.  If anything, I am better for it.  I learned how to tie a bow tie, blow things up with mentos and diet Coke, that cats don't work well in zero gravity, and how waves move across a water sphere in space.
