Everyone stop working: Youtube is back

Just when I was starting to get a little bit too much work done, life got back to the way it should be.

Sometime yesterday, Youtube came back on. Very shortly after that, I became less concerned with filing a story on pricing segmentation, and much more on finding what videos turned up with the keyword "owned". Turns out its a lot.

For example:

Here is a Canadian Reporter being owned by a sled

In this owned compilation, several people are owned by stairs, motor vehicles and lions.

It does appear that fat people get owned more than their skinny counterparts. And, there are also a wide variety of things that own fat people...

Here a fat kid is owned by a river

Here a fat kid is owned by the floor

Fat kids can also be owned by amusement park rides and diving boards. While around paintballs and when they are doing stunts fat kids are similarly endanger of being owned.

In the midst of all these "ownage" videos, there was one from the Onion that taught fat kids how not to get owned.


Even with the return of Youtube, though, some people have been more productive because G-Chat has been significantly spottier the past two weeks. Fortunately, this can be gotten around by adding an "s" after the "http" to create a secure connection with gmail.

As in, the same way that Dook got owned at the game last weekend?

With regards to the owned compilation: in the end, who is really owned? The would be pole dancer rendered a post-horse show Superman; the whip-lash'd rednecks whose Ford Escort misadventures allow them to ghostride the whip nevermore; or the collective Youtube gazing eye, that, powerless to tear itself away, is subjected to four minutes of entirely gratuitous Aqua?

Or does juhuacha--whose entire sense of reality (as represented above) finds itself but a less imaginative Ashley Dupre MySpace page--instead represent the archetypal, eternal Owned?
