AOL Uncut: Technical Glitch or Faking Views?
AOL Uncut (AOL’s site for amateur videos) appears to be guilty of technical problems or fraudielent video-view counts. Content creators are recalling that months ago their videos were getting anywhere from 5-15,000 views regularly. Then some weeks ago the view counts were all “reset.” Now most of my videos are getting just dozens of views…
Can You Marvel at Ethnic Pride and Still Mock It?
As an emerging minority (white, middle-aged American), I’m often envious of the deep cultural bond of minorities (hence my confessed, sincere desire to be African American). But I’m also quick to poke fun at Racial stereotypes because they’re so wonderfully taboo and controversial. Here’s me with SMPFilms’ “Mr. Safety” in NYC quoting the “five dollar…

That had a Klingeresque Mash-like feel to it with an Office Space vibe. Nice job.
That guy who allowed his tie to go in the shredder was a brave soul. He could have died!
Thanks- someone did suggest I wear a Klinger dress, but I thought that might come back to haunt me.
I tested the tie shredder bit before doing it, and assured him that there’s no “pull” effect. At any point, you can pull the tie out. He had to fake like it was bringing him into the shredder, in fact. The minute he sat up it’s released. It was his idea to walk by with the mini tie in a later segment.
