I totally agree with the last post about YouTube. Anyone can become famous today basically for stupidity. It has almost become ridiculous how much time people spend watching YouTube videos. People talk about certain videos like they are common movies. Some people, even young children, spend hours in front of their computers watching these videos. I think it is amazing the access young children have to all the crazy videos. I know that certain YouTube videos can almost become addicting. Certain videos that are very funny can be watched numerous times and never get old. Another set of videos that people get addicted to are the ones that the creator has made multiples of. Last year there was a series of videos that everyone in my dorm was addicted to. It was a 12 year old girl who would lip sync to songs and dance ridiculously. These videos were absolutely hysterical and we watched them when we wanted a good laugh. As funny as it was, I think it is a bit pathetic how famous young children can become from such a pointless thing. I also don't think that kids of that age should be aloud access to putting things such as these online. I know it would be hard to monitor but I think some restrictions should be put in place. There are too many bad things on there that kids could get to. As much as I think this is ridiculous, I did have to include some of this girl's videos. I don't think that she should be able to post videos at her age, but I still think it is just hilarious!
*** It appears that the URLs are not working for the videos, but if you want to see them just search "doglover" in YouTube. Some videos will pop up by that user and they are definitely worth watching. The two that I recommend are "Disturbia" and "Nobody's Perfect". Sorry for the inconvenience. ***
