James Lileks on the YouTube debates:
I heard some of the YouTube presidential debate. It’s a brave new medium that empowers the citizens, you know. The first video-question was some guy singing a song, chosen no doubt for its keen piercing insight. I expect CNN will next use the June Taylor dancers to spell out complex foreign-policy questions that can only be seen from an overhead perspective.
Damn straight! It’s time we caught up with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Uranium Enrichment Dancers.
Wow. Using google as spellcheck I found that Ahmadinejad not only has Uranium Enrichment Dancers, he also has a
weblog. With comments from readers around the world!

Cool… are these all real comments from real people? Or planted? Anyway, your blogs are somewhat formal sounding. Why not loosen up the language a little for the American readers? And could you tell us a little about your home life and your family and what your daily routine is like. Also what kind of music do you like? What is your favorite color and what is your favorite sport?
That’s pretty creepy, like being invited to join the Hitler Youth on Facebook or logging on to Myspace and seeing “You are in Joseph Stalin’s extended network” “lol hai Joe wussup?”
