Latest YouTube Brawl Video Only Scores a "6"
I would say that the Denny's Brawl Video just beginning to make the rounds is rather a 6 on the scale of the genre, where the 63 Wall Street Fight is a 4 and the Pedicab-Taxi Street Fight is a 5.5, the Muni Fight is an 8, and the Tranny Taco Brawl is a 9. (The Gay Hipster Fight is a 9.8.) Who's inured to violence thanks to the Internet? Who is?
America's High Schools Still Top Producers of Violent YouTube Content
Oh, it's been a while since we last checked in on America's Zero Tolerance For Violence and Bullying Public Schools. I would say they are pretty much still hotbeds of people beating each other up and other people filming them on their phones. READ MORE
Up Next: Mumblecore YouTube Fight Videos
Look, the fact is that you're going to see this video somewhere in the next day or so, so it may as well be here. I'm not sure what gay hipster fight, "filmed outside of a club called rhondas at el cid in los angeles (silverlake) around 4am," says about the ever-expanding nature of the YouTube fight video genre, but I would like to point out that the comment, "I used to have this fight on vinyl," represents YouTube fight video criticism at its most elegant and succinct. Please enjoy. Or recoil, that's also an option.
How summmer138 Kicked Oxy and Xanax and Broke Up With Her Boyfriend, Killa T
On May 29, 2008, summmer138 joined YouTube. Now she has 593 YouTube subscribers. Her real name is Monica, she lives in Denver, and she grew up in Dillingham, Alaska, which she refers to as "DillingHOLE," population roughly 2,500. She is 22 years old, a high-school graduate with a bit of college education, and a fan of "True Blood," in both book and television form. Her only love is filming and editing videos, which she does through her production company, depRAVEd wONderland productions. I have no reason to believe that her production company involves anything more than-until recently-a video camera, laptop computer, and pink-themed YouTube account with a black-and-white background that resembles the hide of a cow.

YouTube and Children: A Deadly, Awful, Horrifying Combination
"In a child's hands, YouTube is like a long hallway, with doors leading to ever stranger and more inexplicable places. You click on a Wiggles video, you find a link to a homemade video of an animated dinosaur lighting his own farts, which leads you to a link to a crude drawing of a volcanic ass, which leads you to news footage of Mount St. Helen's blowing up, which leads you to a clip of Helen Keller in 'The Miracle Worker' dubbed in Korean. It's like Six Degrees Of Fuckedupness."
Video Remix Will Bring Down British Government, Maybe
Will YouTube ruin British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's chances of remaining in office for another term? Well, it'll either be YouTube or the fact that there's a worldwide economic crisis going on and the incompetent Brown has shown no ability to connect with an electorate that is growing increasingly tired of the Labour party's 11+ years in power. One or the other. READ MORE
