The Youtube PierreElliottTrudeau

Its often said the power of the internet as new media is continually increasing in influence over the actual world, more so and more significantly than any other quantum step change that preceded. Or in simple terms, this time right now is the first time ever where the freedom to share and express ideas to large masses is not only actually remotely possible but realistically effective in its depth and breadth of penetration without the prerequisite of excessive power or money. Now the previous sentences may sound a little ambitious and declaratory, a total switch from my normal light-hearted pop culture drivel but its fact (also I cant believe I started a post with something as trite as the "Its often said" opening.. which is almost as uncomfortable, unoriginal and overused as the " In the Webster dictionary, the definition of the word [insert topic word here] is" opening ). This blog is a good example. It directly replaces and vastly improves upon the means of communication we used to use, like for example the multple addressed broadcast emails of the last 10 years, and the ability to converse over the telephone that preceded that, and furthermore the handwritten letters / telegrams of old school communication that came before that. Also we all know the internet completely runs amock in the territory previously held by TV, Radio, and Book / Newspaper / Magazine written publications, and is now trampling into the territory of social networking with the likes of MySpace, Bebo, Friendster and the Book of Face. Not only do we have access to all this information, but we also get all these tools to contribute as well, which is now wonderfully effective in shrinking the world, almost to the same proportions as aircrafts (although in a totally different dimension entirely, duh).

I bring this up now because like the hundreds of miliions of other chicos and chicas out there, Im a big fan of youtube. It has everything. Its a orgy of information. Also though, when you have everything ( or orgys), you also have alot of slop and mess (ie. search Michelle Malkin, the sorrest excuse for a filipina in the history of ever). Mixed in with the sports highlights, and the bloopers, and the chinese dudes singing backstreet songs, theres also hatred, theres stupidity, and theres slanderous and smearing commentary. Following upon the Fox News mold (spelling mistake? no I dont think so), theres plenty amount of punditry there to be seen, if you are for some reason too happy and feel the need to get pissed off.

THANKFULLY though, Ive comeon upon the whole "respond to videos" community with Youtube. And within it, I have found one guy that is intelligent, well spoken, well read, and even Canadian. Its the Youtube PierreElliottTrudeau, he is a video poster that has his own youtube channel, and what he does, for fun apparently, is video respond to the some of the misinformational commentary on Youtube. Loads of people go on Youtube and post stupid diatribes on social views, political views, economic views, or what they think of Ron Paul. He then goes in, and flat out sets them straight and absolutely makes shit of them, with pure fact, common sense and logic. You should check him out, He just flat out Pwns people. For example here is a video and his video response. (by the way I use to be in love with Elisabeth. Now.. uh.. I dream of pissing in her kool aid). Another example is this video and his video response.

So this is just something to do when youre unbelievably bored and youve already gone through all the latest Perez Hilton stuff.
