Stupid YouTube Awards
Oh I’m not going to read this, but feel free to summarize it in the comments. It’s a CNN report about the viral video winners, and I’m not among them. Not that I’m jealous or anything.

The Coke contest is down to 8 submissions now that judge ZeFrank booted the one I had submitted. But there are still about 20 days for you to try. In an e-mail titled “your entry needs a little work,” ZeFrank wrote, “Unfortunately, we cannot include it on the site because your submission contains third-party content…
Courtesy of ZackScott, here’s a nice piece from CrunchGear about how to ensure your video is optimized for YouTube. Make your file a .mov or .mp4. Set it to the YouTube-native size of 320×240 (aka QVGA). Expect letterboxing if your HD camera shoots at a different aspect ration than the 4:3 that is 320×240. No way out…
The good folks at Mentos were kind enough to sponsor my “Smuggling Mentos Into Movie Theater” video (see it on Revver here). Mentos provided modest funds to offset my time and production costs, and more importantly provided me with a big ol’ shipment of Mentos. I’m eating them at 9:35 a.m. as I type. They…
In moving over my Google Video clips to YouTube I ran into this retro commercial spoof. Like “Woodblock Doll,” it’s another commercial parody. That was pretty much the first 10 years of my video shorts: either commercial parodies or mock horror videos (ala “Attack of the Killer Slinky“). While cleaning up my dad’s office this…
I've always maintained that web video can't be longer than 30 seconds to 2 minutes, but this 6-minute clip (Bus Uncle) provide otherwise- it will entertain you silly and you'll soon be quoting it. Some poor 23-year-old in a Hong Kong bus tapped the shoulder of a real estate agent who was talking loudly on…

all I have to say is THANK GOD that Chris Crocker lost to Michael Buckley.
I would have won the best catchphrase category, if there was one…
Reubnick: I agree. I was afraid Chris Crocker would win. What the Buck is a good show and Chris Crocker is just a ham.
What did Charlie say when he couldn’t get the computer to work awhile back? “Suped peter!” That’s what I’ve got to say about the YT awards.
Chawklit Rain!!!! <—- I actually like that! The commercial wasn’t bad either with the squirrel cameo.
Here’s a summary of the youtube winners: It was a summary of who won. Anyone want to summarize this?
There was a contest?
Your problem is that they don’t have a “best youtube drama” category. You would win that hands down.
I nalts the other day I caught up with Yahoo video awards.http://www.urbanread.com/news/winners-yahoo-video-awards
The awards are human voted I suppose.
Define ‘human.’
the whole setup sounded like mob rule to me.
I like MB and he’s a nice guy so I voted for him, but the ep they picked wasn’t really his best, and what is the criteria to be nominated anyway? who picked the candidates in the first place and based on what? I didn’t watch any of the others, well, except crocker
I suppose it’s a nice feeling for the winners, and that’s ok, and the votes certainly get you a little attention and probably more viewers, but what are the guidelines to get nominated in the first place?
the whole process just seemed so grammar schooloolish to me.
The thing I dislike about You Tube most is they treat and think the users and the viewing public are stupid.
wait a minute… I voted. nevermind
The nominations are very revealing about the personality of the Youtube employee who chose them.
I wondered about that, surly there has to be more to it than Seth and Trisha’s favorite videos on the Employee’s wall at the Blockbusters
No need to be surly about it, surely. And quit calling me Shirley.
