Advertise Free at Largest Ever Online-Video Meetup

ByNalts

NYC on “7.7.7”  is shaping up to be the largest ever online-video meetup. I’m basing that on roughly 300 registrations on the horrendously ugly but informative www.youtubemeetup.com.  And the YouTube gathering in San Fran attracted several hundred people with just 2 week’s notice. YouTubers will converge upon Washington Square Park from 11-8 p.m. on July 7,…

Raw-Pork Worms Only Like Real Coke

ByNalts

You’ve seen the videos showing how soda poured on raw pork evicts lots of tiny worms. Well in this double-blind, placebo-controlled “Raw Pork and Coke” experiment, we learn why it works for some but not others.

After record views with EepyBird’s Mentos Geysers, the candy is reaching new beights. A Guiness record apparently. “Mentos Madness” was produced by Dustin Dow, Glenn Hartong, Michael E. Keating and Andy Knight. Says the description on the video: It wasn’t “500 bottles of pop on the mall, 500 bottles of pop …” It was 504…

Consumer Divorces Advertising

ByNalts

In this very clever video we meet a woman personifying a consumer breaking up with her obnoxious husband, advertising.

Great Trivia on American Presidents

ByNalts

A classic video from ZackScott that gives us information about the American Presidents that you wouldn’t have learned in history class. Zack is one of my favorite online comedians.
