Oh sure. It’s vogue to slam poor little Fred. But you know damned well this little Christmas Cash music video will have you singing the refrain just like iJustine’s dad. Try to resist it, and it will tempt you all the more.
For your convenience, I’m linking to the refrain to save you the 1:00 minute it takes to warm up. Fred Cash Music Video.
A new entrant to the online video space… The Daily Reel bills itself as a “news magazine that covers online video, selects the best content, and offers critical analysis from the industry’s top journalists.” This one looks for real. Here’s the “about.” Contributors include Matthew Ross (Variety), Anthony Kaufman, (indieWire, Wall Street Journal Online), Marjorie…
TubeMogul is giving online-video reators a profile page to showcase their work (see my Nalts profile). TubeMogul is now helping connect advertisers with popular and talented creators for ad sponsorships or custom-content development that would give brands broader access, street credibility, and a higher-impact exposure. I see this as far more profitable for video creators…
Revenue-sharing video site, Metacafe, has launched the first of a series called “Metacafe Unfiltered.” In this show, which I co-host with Angela Calman (MediaMogirl), we’ll meet some of the creators that have gained a following and earned money through Metacafe’s Producer Rewards program. The first episode was shot in LA and features SpacePainter — a…
I’ve got two or three plastic bins in my basement, packed with hundreds VHS tapes. Among a lot of junk (Simpsons episodes, SNL reruns) lies some of the first video shorts I’ve made… um… two decades ago. So I spent hours this morning researching ways to convert them, and it comes down to a few…
Time to test out your “is it real or fake” instincts. Watch this video where a random Verizon caller is surprised when that Verizon Wireless “Can You Hear Me Now” guy shows up with an army of Verizon people personifying the Verizon network. Is it truly candid, or is our “victim” an actor? Shaky camera…
The poor television networks and cable. In one of the seminal points of the evolution of online-video-to-television and mobile, the networks are putting legitimate near-term business desires and needs above consumer demand and innovation. You could view recent moves — like blocking GoogleTV and Hulu’s paid app with ads — as strength and discipline. Avoiding…

Ewww. The tune is not catchy enough to get stuck in my head. In fact, I just watched it and I can’t even remember how it goes. My brain seems to be fairly discriminating about what it remembers lately. I think I need an external brain to store extra stuff on.
I usually dislike getting cash for Christmas (or birthdays). I already have more money than I need. I’d rather people get me something I wouldn’t buy (or wouldn’t even think to buy) for myself. Of course that requires more thought and effort for those doing the giving.
What would you like for Christmas, Kevin, other than cash?
Why am I getting blocked?
I was actually embarrassed when I watched that video, and I literally couldn’t sit through it. I am not happy for Fred or his success. I truly hate that guy.
@2 I’m not fond of his style either, but I don’t see any reason to hate him.
This video makes the baby Jesus cry.
I don’t hate anyone on YouTube. I can’t stand this song or video, but man. The fact that Fred has penetrated pop culture like he has is an achievement.
How he did it on the material he makes, I don’t know. I don’t like his material at all, but more power to him.
Peter Coffin, don’t be naive. It’s not an accomplishment that Fred has “penetrated pop culture like he has” it’s a national embarrassment!
What does it say about our society when our children enjoy watching garbage like this? Yay America! Yay money, more money, all i want is money! Forget family/values/thankfulness I want money!
No wonder America is seen in such a negative light in other countries.
