Useless Tube
Searching for something watchable on YouTube is like trying to find a gold dust flake in a rhino’s rectum; you know something good is in there, but you need to slosh through seven foul layers of hell to find it.
A recent search for a simple STAR TREK clip led me through seven cleverly-disguised clips of TREK mash-ups, which combine an actual clip with the audio replaced by a Korn or Tool song. And played loudly, at that.
Beyond mash-ups, YouTube is awash in hundreds of billions of videos featuring very lonely, talentless womb-scum ranting into their shaky, grainy webcam. These seem to be uploaded on a whim rather than reason. Still others have a point, but it is quickly lost amid the freakishness on display; recent YouTube “stars” Tay Zonday and Chris Crocker are recent examples of this dubious trend.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one to notice the continued stupidity thriving on YouTube. The good folks at THE ONION have released one of their better stories on the subject:
