YouTube Community Receives “Foundation Award” from IRTS November 18, 2007
Posted by Nalts in : Future of Online Video, GooTube, Online Video, Video, Video Sites, Viral Video, YouTube , trackbackThe YouTube Community received a “Foundation Award” from the International Radio and Television Society Foundation. This is a prestigious award that has been given to such accomplished broadcasters as David Letterman, Donald Trump and Katie Couric (who attended the Nov. 16 awards breakfast in NYC to present an award to CBS Correspondent Kimberly Dozier).
I’m honored to have received this award on behalf of the YouTube Community. Here’s a video announcing the award, and showing some of the highlights of the event. I’m humbled, and grateful that YouTube passed the award to us. I’ll be sending the glass trophy (once I super glue it back together) to other YouTubers, and hopefully it will circulate the globe in videos.

NICE!!! thats awesome. bet it was fun to schmooze with people there. how many people knew you? better yet how many were curious to learn more about you tube? couldnt have picked a better person to accept! thanks!
Congrats, Kevin! One reason I think they chose you was because they knew you would give an entertaining acceptance speech. Hey, why don’t you send that thing to me…I have some super-glue! LOL!~Toni
hEY NALTS CAN YOU SEND THE TROPHY TO ME I NEED TO MAKE A VIDEO REALLY SOON SO COULD YOU SEND IT TO ME jUST EMAIL ME for more info PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD BLESS
It didn’t seem right, calling your beautiful wife a “significant other” in her presence. Why not thank your family? I guess I too old fashioned.
I wanted to make it work for everyone, but family would have been a good choice of words.
Congrats to you and me both.

NALTS, You should have your own TV show dude.. PRIME TIME.
I just broke down and bought myself a nalts hat, which is kind of a waste, since I don’t wear hats, but I want Katie Couric to talk to me in case I ever run into her. Maybe she’ll hit on me too.
well I fucked that up!
LMAO @ the last 2 comments!
They sure picked a fine person to accept it…did you seriously break it? LMAO
so can I put this award on my resume now?
I’ll need at least a picture of the thing with an authentic certificate I can download.
Forget the shard of plastic. Please send Katie Couric down here to the piney woods. I pine for her…got some wood I wanna show her.
^after she reads that how could she resist?
about time.
It’s raining pine needles this time of year in Marshall, covering the ground with a soft red carpet of welcome for Katie, a red carpet that leads right up to my front door and heart.
There. Is that better? The link is even more girlee in this post. NOW can I have her?
[...] on November 19, 2007. How are you going to celebrate your award? How about thanking your significant other for making it possible? And videotape their reaction. [...]
Marquis- the Cougar line. I’m still laughing.
ROWWWWWRRRRR! Nalts, you lucky dog!
wait, is that Jesus? Have you forgotten Katie is a member of the secular godless MSM. Try again.
Brrrrr! Shrinkage.
“Please send Katie Couric down here to the piney woods. I pine for her…got some wood I wanna show her”…….OMG thats hilarious Marquis,now youve lowered yourself down to my level ;-). NALTS,so did you really break the youtube trophy or not?
“The Foundation Award was established in 1994 to honor outstanding communications professionals for their accomplishments within the given year. Recipients have included David Letterman, Diane Sawyer, David E. Kelley, Howard Stringer, Leo Hindery, Katie Couric, L. Lowry Mays, and Charlie Rose.”……..communications professionals? Exactly which video was this award for? my upskirt video or my “loud & long fart in public”? {:-O
I think it was the upskirt video (see link), Steve, where “You really blew the lid off of nookie” (’Broadcast News’-1987) but Nalts might think the fart thing was more relevant to Youtube’s contribution to communications. Hee hee hee hee. I tickle myself.
Oops. Wrong link. Sorry, Steve.
