Greetings, readers!

I hope you are having a tolerable Thursday.

As I was asking YouTube for content, to try to find something worthwhile for your daily fluff, I had an odd experience.

I was listening to The Riddle from The Scarlet Pimpernel. (More accurately, I was listening to a playlist from The Scarlet Pimpernel, and The Riddle happened to be the one I was listening to at the time.) As the list was progressing, from a fantastic musical interpretation of Game Theory and deception to the overture of a musical dealing with spies and the French Revolution, YouTube decided to play an advertisement for me. It was an advertisement for “the Happies”- seemingly robotic dogs. Regardless, it was one of the most bizarre juxtapositions- Grandiose, melodramatic minor-key deep music, to “bubblegum pop” style “Meet the Happies!!1!”. (The typo was intentional for the purpose of illustrating a point, by the way.)

I think the only weirder advertisement experience I have had through YouTube was a time when an advertisement for a movie where mustaches are space aliens came on. That was weird simply because of the content matter- this one was weird because of the juxtaposition.

But what about you, readers? Have you had any odd YouTube advertisement experiences?

Readers, your world has a problem.

Saying “a problem” does not exclude the possibility of additional problems.

Yes. “One problem” would indicate a numerical number of problems. “A problem” is a general term, and therefore is expandable.

But I digress.

The problem to which I am referring is your world’s obsession with bacon.

When bacon companies are coming up with cellphone apps to spritz the smell of bacon when your alarm clock goes off, I say you have a serious obsession problem.

I do not know if they really do or not, but there is a YouTube advertisement for one, which I will include here:

That is certainly one response.

I personally thought it was bizarre.

Well, readers, I wish you a happy Wednesday.

Greetings, readers! Happy Sunday!

I came across two surprisingly popular YouTube videos recently. I do not understand them. The first I found was the parody of the second I watched. I am therefore going to post the videos in the reverse order of how I found them, with some other YouTube videos thrown in for good measure.

The first: “Charlie Bit my Finger.”

I think Charlie’s laugh at the end is probably the only thing that makes that movie worth watching.

I am definitely disturbed by its virality, though. The people involved were even interviewed on some news program.

That was all back in 2008.

More recently, various Celebrities have paid homage to “Charlie Bit my Finger.” They have created a two minute movie about the later years between Harry and Charlie. This one, after seeing the inanity of the original, is worth watching.

You are completely justified, Harry. Completely justified.

I hope you have a good week that is not ruined even more by stupid YouTube videos.
