Online Video Goes Local: More Like Radio Than TV

ByNalts

We continue December’s guest blogs by online-video gurus and friends (see Punchy‘s post yesterday).

  2. I woke up with some nasty ass diarrhea this morning which I was actually glad about because first I thought it was my period & I have only had one period since november & that has to continue for at least one year for me to officially be thru menopause which will be FUCKING AWSOME so I guess what I am saying is you’re welcome for the TMI.

    the question is, have they been a good citizen?

    Like everyone the could have done more and they could have just done it for the lulz, but we all know they did for the money.

  4. Yeah that was an annoying video. Nothing on Community or Vlogers. I think I only saw Shane Dawson Briefly. it was 99% Viral Videos.

    The lies and deceptions are so thick and in your face I often wonder if I’m in a bad dream or if someone slipped soma in the water table.
