The Ethics of Youtube
INCORRECT AND UNETHICAL USE OF PUBLIC SPACE ON YOUTUBE:
Seriously this kind of shit infuriates me to no end. The worst part is that I'm sure she actually thinks she's cute. It would be one thing if it were sort of off the cuff, or if she had a bunch of little kids doing it. But you can tell that she poured hours of thought and effort into planning and producing that 1 minute long piece of garbage all by herself.
RIGHT AND CORRECT USE OF PUBLIC SPACE ON YOUTUBE:
I think that's pretty self-explanatory.

Bart the General
I recently came across these Simpsons "parodies" online and was just totally blown away. -Bear with me I'm being serious here- Upon first inspection they seem like some weirdo's juvenile attempt at recreating the Simpsons. The low quality voices and animations can be a turn off. However, if you take the time to watch both of these you'll come to realize, like I did, that these are the work of someone who really knows what they're doing.
The artist was taking cues most obviously from The Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, R. Crumb, etc. But there's a lot more going on here than simple mashup. There's a real post-modern sense of alienation here. As Stonefish tells Homerin Episode 2, "Your life was a long honeymoon mate, but I'm [Toadfish's] brother Stonefish and I'm fucking ruining your life from this day on."
There's also a Lynchian dissociation taking place. What comes off initially as poor animation, takes on a sense of dreamlike space. We begin to question whether we're really watching this or whether it's simply in our head.
So come along and see what happens when some new faces find their way into Springfield. Watch as Marge's affair forces Homer to live in a shack, missing out as Bart grows into an adult.
WARNING: These videos feature one of the best intros I've ever seen.
