If life were like YouTube
Merlin Mann | Sep 21 2007
Ok, it’s Friday, and the team and me are pooped from several weeks of site-making. No profound tips today. I’ll just leave you to your weekend with a wonderfully timely video. I’ll confess that the escalating assiness of internet comments was a huge factor in deciding to move to a membership-based site (yeah, I know it’s no panacea, but it sure doesn’t hurt). Said assiness is illustrated beautifully in this video, portraying a world where life is like a YouTube comment thread. Awesome (if very NSFW). Have a great weekend. Pwnd! POSTED IN:

No seriously though, what does that mean? ;)
Love the new site Merlin. All of a sudden I had 20-odd posts in my 43f feed. Cool. You’re back!
“pwn‘d!”
“pwn‘d!”
Message Boards...
Was that a Slashdot or Digg corporate meeting?
I love it. But “getting it” sure does pown me as major dork. At least I’m not a newb.
Holy Cow
That was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while…no, I don’t get out much.
Who doesn’t know what pwn’d means, come on really? ;)
needed a
lol
Wow
Gotta say, its been a long time since I have laughed that hard on youtube. Really great vid… haha and did anyone else go down and read the comments expecting to see the usual?! LOL.
Great Vid!
Rings so true!
there's a sequel!
This video was made by the good folks at CollegeHumor.com - these videos are some of their best.
Original (better quality than the YouTube version): http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1771556
and the Sequel (even better!): http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1776175
Enjoy!
Sequel
LOLCats make everything at least 36% funnier. I hadn’t actually seen the “I fought the LOL” thing anywhere else. Clever.
Re: If life were like YouTube
Damn that is funny!
ROLFMAO ZE DONG
That’s some überpwnage right there.
hahaha
very funny, although I feel like a major geek for getting it. Me and a work friend had a conversation the other day about what it would be like to have quick keys in real life, she decided she would use Apple F most and I went for Apple Z, that would be so useful! Imagine saying something stupid then being able to just Apple Z it!
Yikes!
I get all of this. I need a life SOOO badly.

Gee, I learned something today. http://www.netlingo.com/lookup.cfm?term=pwn
