Whilst I have been reduced to some sort of mechanical existence over the past week, I traversed the internet searching tirelessly for h-eight/h8 material, to remind myself that I am still human and capable of feeling emotion.
Over this time I became indebted to the fact that people are obsessed with the fleeting conception of celebrity, and continually use the internet as a medium to pursue their fifteen minutes of fame.
I became indebted to the fact that most attempts of achieving this fifteen minutes are poorly informed, thought out and executed.
I became indebted to youtube.
One would think that personal, unofficial music videos were crime enough. However, attention should also be paid to the thoughtful user comments which accompany them.
For example, take the following.
As if the inconsistent use of interpretive dance, bad editing and lack of talent weren't enough, this video actually generated positive response.

Someone should probably tell remzieboy these girls aren't of legal age. Then again, he's probably found and mastubated over them on myspace and knows this already. In fact he's probably set up an account for his 17 year old alter ego and befriended them already. He's probably 49 and balding.
videoseeker08. The critique is all in the name. videoseeker. Seeks videos. And somehow this video still manages to be the funiest shit he has seen allday. Then again, I did take the liberty of looking at his account and checking out his favourite videos. Good to see that he considers a 30 second clip of himself walking a "great video mannnnnnn".
I guess kwak1989 is right though. It must have taken forever. The 15 minutes spent buying and setting up a video camera, the hour spent conquering a basic knowledge of video editing software, the 12 minutes spent establishing a dance routine, the 3.02 minutes spent performing the video, and the five minutes spent uploading the video do amount to 'forever' when you have the brain capacity of a goldfish.
