Dear You-Tube,
I just wanted to take a moment of your time to tell you how much I love thee. Let me count the ways...
Because of you. I no longer have to wade through an entire episode of Saturday Night Live. I know that all the good parts will show up at your place.
Because of you. I now know how to de-seed a pomegranate. How to peel an egg. Without actually peeling it. And I could watch videos on how to knit. Or skateboard. Or steal wi-fi.
Because of you. I have video proof of evolution at work. And I can see the prime candidates for the Darwin awards. Like the kids who decided to stick his face into a fire ant nest. On purpose. Or the other kids who really made a cool video. Creating a slide from the roof of thier house into a toddlers wading pool.
Because of you. I am enabled. I can continue my procrastination of all the things that I should be doing. Because when I come to your place to look at something. I always spot something else to look at. And then something else. And the next thing I know eight hours a few hours have gone by. But. You also give me the excuse. Because I can just send my family to your place. And they can become distracted. And not notice all that I have neglected.
But mostly. Because of you. I am able to see commercials. With the advent of the DVR, I never watch commercials anymore. And now. I can find the new classics. The hysterical. The ones that cannot be categorized. And I'd like to share my absolute favorites with you:
A Coke Light commercial. That ends with a great blessing.
An ad for Carlton beer. That uses music from the opera "Carmen Burina" for epic effect.
Another one for Carlton beer. "Flashbeer"
And finally one for the "March of the Penguins" movie. In France. You might need to get your depends on.
You-tube. You complete me.
Love,
Kat
