I watched a sampling of the YouTube videos that were made earlier this month featuring a who’s who of popular YouTubers.

I am offended by them.

Individually, people like Dax Flame, thehill88 and Lisa Nova are tolerable. Whoever financed the project that brought a bevy of YouTube celebrities together in LA to play house in front of the cameras should be fired. The spectacle itself was loathsome and it ruins the mystique that existed around people who have generally stayed in character for their own videos.

Why didn’t they tie this to some cause? Why didn’t they have some premise that would allow for the suspension of disbelief?

Were these people paid to participate in this crap, or were they merely offered free travel and lodging? Google needs a new motto. How about DON’T BE LAME ?

Why is Perez Hilton in a video with these other people? He is a real person, sort of.
