Tip Tuesday — The Joy of YouTube

March 20, 2007 by Kathryn

YouTube scares me, quite frankly. You never know what kind of junk you’ll find when you go there. The internet has gone completely content crazy. Got a video of your dog taking a nap? You’d better post it quick before he wakes up.

The ever wonderful PhilTube parody site keeps Dan and I laughing and asking each other, “Is it up yet? Well get it up!” (The site appears to be down. I’ll put a link up if it resurfaces.)

A while back Jeana posted links to some of her favorite commercials and it got me thinking, “I need more fun video in my life.”

So, here’s my latest greatest find, a reminder that you should really keep an eye on the garbage your kids are exposed to.

I’m also an undying fan of the Outpost.com commercials.

Give me a link to something that makes you laugh online – in a DYM appropriate sort of way.

    Thanks for the Tuesday morning chuckle! Funny how editing and a little change of soundtrack can really twist a story. Something to remember. And those Outpost ads… so mean… but so funny…why!? Have a great day!

    Scary Mary…love it!

    Ironically, that movie always freaked me out a bit. I never liked her because she lied about the chalk drawing incident.

    Thanks for the giggles!

    As a former member of the marching band I am greatly offended by this. I will now sally forth to Youtube to search for video of a floating head being shot by a cannon loaded with mice.
