Referencing, of course, the movie about the cheerleader whose paranoid parents hold a gay intervention and send her to heterosexual reprogramming camp to overcome her gayness, when it was discovered she didn’t like her boyfriend. I’ve been spending much of the day solidifying my selections as a judge for The Vloggies — no easy process. It’s taken me a long time, but today I settled on who I think is the best in each category, phew. I am hoping for an intervention and subsequent reprogramming with many drinks at the event November 4. I’ll post who I voted for after the winners are announced.
I really enjoyed watching so many awesome indy vlogger videos! I wanted to share a couple highlights — and you may have already seen these — and I’m not saying I voted for these people or not. But this made me shriek (click “DON’T WATCH THIS FUCKING VIDEO! GO AWAY!”). It was answered with this (ending is so-so but all is hilare). And I couldn’t watch FCC’d Up* and not make you watch it; I loved the oral sex segment, hee!
* As a side note, I am loathing giving a link to Veoh right now, but the video is must-see. Veoh used to be the great place where over-18 content and all kinds of other videos mingled, but back in June Veoh decided to “clean up” its image and scour the site of grownup videos. Besides the fact that I don’t agree with this “keep users in nursery school” approach to running a content delivery site, last week I attempted to contact Veoh for a high-profile piece about video sharing sites and mature content policy enforcement (it publishes soon, I’ll announce here). Veoh ignored my requests for comments, a statement, or queries about their decision and position on mature content. They are teh lame.
Five-second update: Also, unrelated — I am moist with excitement that I updated my Firefox to the new version; it’s spell-checking my text as I write in Movable Type. Yeah!!!!!
