Thoughtful Preparations: Media Spin Blog

My recent blog entry Wacky Holiday Fun Movies attracted a lot of eyeballs, so we return with more pop internet video craziness. Everybody loves a good joke. Add audio and video special effects, shot quick and dirty, and you’ve got a crude laugh riot.

Google recently announced at the 2006 CES show in Las Vegas their intentions to sell video produced by major content producers such as CBS. Meanwhile, a look at Google Video reveals something like America’s Funniest Home Videos on a global gross out scale. Google clearly understands how to attract eyeballs, with their clean presentation and access to thousands of dirty little homemade videos and animations uploaded by the salt of the earth.

Poop Today? Clever stop motion video of floating young men singing a gay song.
Fire Fart, a man lights a candle by lighting ass gas on fire. A human torch!
Matrix Ping Pong, Creative example of what ping pong looks like in Matrix time-space.
Hung Up Remix, Maybe not the music video Madonna had in mind. Performers from a distant era can’t keep the dancing spirits down.
Farting Preacher, Strange attention getting methods of a televangelist. Sounds fake.
Girls Judo Wrestling Match, Rachel’s first jiu-jitsu tournament.
Dumbest Dog, a dog who seems to want to bite himself with a laugh track.
Poppin’ Balloons, a peak inside of what appears to be a college dorm room balloon popping party.

Google set out to organize all the information in the world, and now we can see that there is such a thing as too much information.
