Youtube

Ok, so I will be the first one to admit that I am truly horrible at typing. I probably average about eight words a minute, and about nine of those are spelled wrong, but I've found that what I publish tends to be somewhat coherent.

You tube is a fun place, and I spend lots of time enjoying the assorted videos on the site. However, I have noticed a number of types of annoying people who also seem to frequent the site.

Knucklehead Type 1: The Video Ninja

Oh the video ninja. On more than one occasion I have been trawling the depths of You tube, and found what seems to be a legit video of Family Guy clips, or a good explosion only to try to watch it and find that it is actually an add for the French Foreign Legion.
Freaking France.

Knucklehead Type 2: The I-am-Better-Than-all-of-you Bonehead

For a great conversation, I would love to suggest the The I-am-Better-Than-all-of-you Bonehead. The I-am-Better-Than-all-of-you Bonehead is very sure that every single word he utters, types, or thinks is as precious as the light in Trenton's eyes after a good burn.
If you couldn't take from context the fact that the I-am-Better-Than-all-of-you Bonehead is usually wrong, I am going to have to ask you to step outside.
And stay there.

Knucklehead Type 3: The I-Have-The-Writing-Skills-Of-A-Keyboard-Falling-Down-A-Flight-Of-Stairs Twerp

I can understand typos, they happen just like car crashes and France, but now for something less redundant.
These guys type comments and messages as if they are writing in sharpie on the wall, and they haven't quite figured out how to scratch something out.
Now don't confuse these examples of literary beauty with Type Number 5.

Knucklehead Type 4: The I-Think-This-Statement-Makes-Sense-But-Really-I-Sound-Like-A-Prick Moron

Don't you just love when someone gets really fired up about something, and they don't realize in their fervor that they are not spitting out any coherent thoughts?

Knucklehead Type 5: The I-Send-Messages-On-The-Internet-Like-I-Do-On-World-Of-Warcraft Bonehead

So you play World of Warcraft, and have no life other than that sweet avatar you made last week. That's cool. Whatever.
But when people who don't speak "bonehead" are around, could you please speak something us humans can understand?
pwned! or however the heck you say that...
Seriously.. What the heck..?


Now that we have out knuckleheads sorted out, lets have some fun.

I found a rather interesting video about the US Army.
(Pause for hippies to leave)

Its a pretty good video, to the song "Won't Back Down" by Johnny Cash

I enjoy the random commentary going down from the video. Everybody is weighing in, from your ultra-militants to your anti-war liberals. Its actually fun reading.

My first rant is to the token Canadian in the commentary, who is basically like "Yay USA, eh! You kill terrorists"
Made me laugh.

Enter the types:
Type 4 is going on about how it indeed wasn't Spain that gave us tea, but the British. I'll assume they gave us tea in Boston Harbor? Must be a scholar.

A short while later, in response to something about "true Americans" we have another Type 4, with a nice touch of 2 saying that "the only true Americans are native Americans, so I guess that counts you out bozo"
...I may be mistaken, but I am fairly sure that they started in Asia...
Do I need to elaborate?

About here is where it turns into a mess...

And I quote...
"no need to wonder that coz if it wasnt for these time wasters we wouldnt have 1 enemy."
This was a completely random statement.
What the heck is he talking about?

Another fun thing to do: Read what the militants have to say...
"Opressors????? The only compliment I got for you is my boot 8 inches up your ass... I'll show you oppressed."
Not quite eloquent, but funny...

And finally I'll comment about someone who, I speculate, is an English teacher I've had in the past...
Evidently, the song "I Won't Back Down" isn't about stalwartness and enduring hardship, but is an anthem of the oppressed!

After learning about that, I am fairly sure the maker of the video felt really silly for assuming that "I won't back down" could ever be construed as... uh... not backing down?
