Media Stereotypes Online-Video Clichés

ByNalts

There’s no question that traditional media tends to characterize online video — and YouTube in particular — as a cute fad. Certainly the bulk of the stories are about the “one hit wonders,” Internet clichés, and sensational hits like Chris Crocker, Sneezing Pandas, laughing babies and Star Wars Kid. When I saw some recent Comedy…

ByNalts

This is a teaser for a NYC YouTube event. I’ve been exchanging e-mails with Paul Houston from Podcasting101, and we were planning an event this summer. Yesterday morning while going to NYC it occured to me that July 7, 2007 would be perfect. It’s the weekend after 4th of July and it has a memorable…

It’s hard for stars to hide from cheesy pre-fame television commercials when there’s YouTube, right? Let’s enjoy a few of their early advertisements, which I’ve spent most of New Year’s Eve compiling for you (winner that I am) Jack Black doing Pitfall! (best ever) Lindsay Lohan in a Jello commercial in around 1996 Keanu Reeves…

I usually passively review Break.com clips people pass me, but today I went on my own little hunt. I’ve since found this clip documented on Waxy.org (it’s Gary Kasparov, the chess grand master). I was pleasantly surprised to…

  3. Ew, why is all the text in bold now?

    That’s amazingly accurate lip syncing if he’s not for real.

  5. He’s a good imitator and also a good singer.

    To fix the bold:

    Note: I’m putting HTML tags in (parentheses) instead of proper angle brackets so that your code doesn’t get screwed up even more.

    1. Cause: Somehow you have an extra (strong) tag after “Marc’s Band” with no closing (/strong) tag anywhere.

    2a. Solution A: Edit, regular (non-HTML) view, highlight:

    Marc’s Band

    Unbold it. If you wish, re-highlight and re-bold.

    2b. Solution B: Edit, HTML view, delete the extra (strong) tag by changing:

    (p)(strong)Marc’s Band(/strong)(strong)(br /)

    to:

    (p)(strong)Marc’s Band(/strong)(br /)

    3. Rejoice! Grab whichever child is closest and give them a hug.*

    *Not if it isn’t one of your children, especially if you’re doing this on a mobile device while walking alone down a crowded Manhattan street during Outlaw Biker Gang Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.
