Democracy TV

I'm addicted! As if I didn't spend enough time online, Democracy TV has sucked me up! I customized my channels because I'm a huge entertainment whore -- so I love watching the online cartoons, archived footage, funny news blogs.

Now I'm finding it somewhat fun surfing through the millions of online videos to find one that we feel is "Food For Thought." I find them more sardonic than innovating better for midnight drunken laughs than movements in free-speech. At the same time, I definitely see the purpose behind these new media forms, especially in creating uncensored programs. I'll admit: I WANT TO BE THE NEXT ROCKETBOOM GIRL! Hahaha

I'm having a little trouble adding channels to my Democracy TV with websites like EBaumsWorld.com and College Humor that have RSS Feeds... but with a refresher course, I'll figure it out.

SO WHAT VIDEO DID I CHOOSE? There are so so so so many hilarious ones out there, if I had my way, we'd spend the whole class watching dozens of them. I'm saving my favorites to my Blip TV Account. I ultimately decided on:


MYSPACE: THE MOVIE

This video, by amateur digital film artist David Lehre, is reportedly the most-watched video on YouTube.com -- with good reason. It's hilarious and epitomizes the Millennial culture's obsession with MySpace.com. I'm guilty as charged. But this is just classic. The Intro is the funniest part, and then the next 4 Chapters get progressively worse. But it's still funny because it's an accurate satire of THE AMERICAN YOUNG ADULT!

This little movie "launched" a career for David Lehre, apparently:
CNN Article and Kansas City Examiner Article. Plus of course there's a Wikipedia post on the subject.

But my thirst for funny online videos is never-ending, so I'm sharing
