Reaching Young Voters

Here is an interesting video recently posted to YouTube and other websites by TruthThroughAction.org.

Definitely a humorous video whose goal is to reach voters from approximately the 18-25 age demographic. The video is appropriately titled Blue Balled. I know I enjoyed it and just had to share it.

Chocolate Rain

Over the past few months I've become more and more of a YouTube junkie. I'm finding it a good source for video to use in teaching since so many commercials and clips from various TV programs end up on here. And I'm always looking for something to watch for a good laugh.

I've heard about this one video for months, but I never took the time to watch it. Now I hear that it has been viewed more than 13 million times. So I figured it was time to check it out.

It's the original song "Chocolate Rain" performed by Tay Zonday.

I don't understand it. What's the appeal? How come so many people viewed it? Or are they all like me, watching it and wondering why people like it? And did it really need the sequel, "Cherry Chocolate Rain"?

Hilarious Viral Video

I was reading tonight and came across a list of hilarious viral videos. One in particular caught my eye and I had to go straight to YouTube to find it. I nearly fell over laughing while I was watching it. Enjoy!

YouTube's Mesmerizing Tina

I know. Two posts in one day. I can't remember the last time I did that.

Anyway, today I was sent a link to the video below on YouTube. The person that sent it to me found it on PerezHilton.com.

I find this girl's video a little odd, yet it was mesmerizing. I couldn't help but watch it all the way through. I guess I should look up Tina's YouTube channel and see what else she has posted. I find the fact that this young girl, who seems to have some sort of a disability (my guess is possibly some hearing loss based on how she speaks), has the courage to post her videos pretty enlightening. But by putting herself out there like this she has started to get some very negative comments to her posts. And Perez Hilton himself is ridiculing her.

But it leaves me wondering if this really is what YouTube was intended for. Or is this just an unfortunate result of the technology and the web site being available to anyone.
