Lasse Gjertsen
I went and checked out the video dump (is that right?) web site that was brought up in class. Before I had a chance I thought, if something by Lasse Gjertsen is not on there, something is wrong. I ran across some of his work not so long ago and was blown away. All the lonely anime girl stuff is just not for me. High school ended a long time ago and I dont want to hear about it from some stranger. But Lasse Gjertsen's work makes up for all the crap (im sorry but it is) thats on youtube. Youtube has everything from fights filmed with cell phones to Japanese girls looking for tips on her golf swing. Gjertsen is what I go to look for. I have found a couple other good peoples work to (cant remember them right now). Maybe there should be a separate section for people who actually create art on the youtube site? I know Id be stoked on it. Also did anyone else see the preview for the show "The Lot"? Its a reality tv show about aspiring film makers. Im looking forward to that.

Biesel, you are one funny guy. Do these two comments seriously belong to the same blog entry?
Kidding aside (because that's what I am up to) I agree that YouTube is floated by crap (my own crap included often). But really, what mainstream medium isn't? And it is mainstream- You(Tube) were person of the year according to Time Magazine. It really doesn't get more mainstream.
And thanks for the pointer to Lasse Gjertsen. I think I will be happily laughing for quite a few days now.
