Peoples of online video: we are entering the 5th or 6th year of the online-video, but we’ve seen precious few online-video peeps move to television. Sure there was LisaNova and Fred’s movie. And there have been a few shows that failed, and a few more in the works (Annoying Orange) But this we know. Most…
It’s topping YouTube’s trending videos… Finally proof that, just like cows standing when we’re not watching, cats bark… in this rare and exclusive footage, a cat is caught barking… but then cleverly reverts to meowing as if nobody caught it.
