YouTube Matters: Weird: The All Yankovic Story



There are few pop artists that are as legendary as Weird Al. For nearly 30 years he has been churning out hits that have inspired a generation of nerds by confirming what they've always known about themselves; they can make what's cool even cooler by just adding physics jokes. Finally, his epic life story makes it to the big screen. Enjoy the trailer.

YouTube Matters: Be Loyal to the one You Love



Above is a rare glimpse into the entertainment of my childhood.

Let's examine the flaws of this video.

First off, is that a boner joke at 0:14?

Second there is a problem with this lyric, "Their kisses may be sweet, but it's not right to cheat," How would a committed lover know the sweetness of the kisses of any other then their betrothed?

Third, "When the honey drips, from candy-coated lips" is far too sexually charged for a kids' show. Wait, so is the topic of adultery.

Fourth, can someone please explain to me how bees are an example for monogamous relationships?

Fifth, there is something extremely creepy about the voice over at 1:49

What other flaws am I missing? Discuss.

YouTube Matters: DJ Ruth Flowers



Proving once again that age is just a number, DJ Ruth Flowers rocks the Paris nightclub scene with fierce credibility. You may think this is a gimmick but here are the keys to street cred: a keen sense of cool and authenticity. Case in point, the over-eyeglasses sunglasses...indoors. It's like she says, "It's a little bit glammy. It's a little bit over the top. But it fits the bill, I think." She's lagit. - Meet Ruth Flowers. She's an *@!*ing great DJ.
