Unfortunately, It Wasn't A Joke
First, the setup;
For some reason, the topic of YouTube has been big over the past week on a few of the blogs that I read and these discussions have covered a variety of subjects. Among them was a suggestion that television news make their clips more YouTube-friendly. This suggestion prompted a variety of comments, as you might imagine, but among them was someone saying that they didn't think people would turn to YouTube for news to which, pretty much everyone agreed.
And now, the punchline;
Last night, I was messing around in Technorati, when I saw a link that I didn't notice was headed toward MySpace before I clicked.
In the linked post, a 24 year-old dude wrote that he had heard his sister say they had executed Saddam and because he "wanted to know more about this so I go to youtube so I would not have to watch the news via one sided bullshit on CNN and all I find is a bunch of videos making fun of the event...".
Please join me in a moment of silence for the future of our world.
