It still astounds me how many people record themselves singing on YouTube. Do they think they will get discovered and become famous? Some actually might. Most wont. But at least other YouTubers will recognize them. In fact they will not only recognize, but will edit together their 'best of' shows in recognition. So not only do we have armchair Carrie Underwood's, we have back door Simon Cowell's as well!
The Lego anima-train continues with this little jem. A pretty good historical re-enactment of the Summer Lovin' scene from Grease. I gotta say, even made of plastic, Rizzo is still hot. If I spoke Swedish, I would have hauled my way out to Sweden for the Brickfilms Lego Animation Film Fest, but I am sure it will make it's way to our shores soon considering how many of these lovely little shorts are popping up.
Wow. I am simply amazed. Who would have thought that a simple college drinking game that was mainly a simple motivator to try and get a girl drunk and get laid would lead to such a talent. I hope this guy has something more going for him, but if not, I still commend you good sir, well played.
Unfortunately for some of us. The carnival sideshow is a disappearing phenomenon. Yes there are a few traveling shows, yes you can do the Coney Island's of the world and see a freak here and there, occasionally, some themed nightclub event brings out a sword swallower, but in general, they are a rare find. Enter user generated video. It turns out that there are hundreds of clips of people doing all sorts of bizarre acts to get attention. I would also bet that many of these have exposed their art to more people than most carny acts would get in a lifetime. There is one gentleman who has called for the creation of a YouTube Freakshow. So maybe it will not die out, but instead, will live a digital life for years to come.
Ahh, it has been a while since we have featured a movie trailer mash-up. It is so obvious, I am surprised I missed it. A long long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
