Gladsome times here at YouTube Hunter HQ ! And how could we be wearing anything but a frown turned upside down after the recentYouTube / Google mergerworth $ 1.65 billion in stock ? Think about it : before this column started about three calendar month ago , YouTube was an abandoned cyberspace backwater , barely more influential thanthis guy ’s little web log . And now ( significant thanks to us ) the caller ’s founders could , if demesne were still worth the same as it was during the Louisiana Purchase , bribe the macrocosm 893 meter over . ( Someone with more time on her hands should see if my math is right . ) Anyway , stage is : Chad Hurley , Steven Chen , other people who made ungodly sums on this deal … we require our due . I think our readers will testify to our deservingness . Right , readers?Right ?

This contortionist , however , is a protagonist to no one . In fact , watching her wax her consistence elastic acts curiously like a laxative . But the random Santa Claus cameo at the remnant makes it worthwhile ( hat tip to Reader NC ):

We ca n’t say enough about this video . Unlike the three above ( and the one to trace ) , it unfeignedly is amazing . I wo n’t advertize it anymore , just check it out :

finger better about the human raceway again ? Man ’s capacity for genius even in the most difficult lot ? This should fix it :

PS : I realize the Orson Welles video is n’t outside and does n’t come even remotely close to our week ’s theme , but , c’m on , it ’s screaming . And if there ’s anything I ’ve watch from my percentage of the $ 1.65 billion , it ’s that masses love to see a sottish moving picture star at the end of his Mexican valium .
