YouTube’s Chad Hurley steps down, new CEO is hungry for ad money

YouTube, the internet’s direct portal to human stupidity, has a new CEO. Old co-founder Chad Hurley has stepped down from the position, and is turning things over to Google ad henchman Salar Kamangar.

The AP argues that Kamangar’s promotion is an indication that Google is still pushing for a profit from YouTube’s broad community of ranting pop culture junkies, hot women doing mundane things, and humble video game reviewers.

Kamangar has been at YouTube since 2008, and he has increased ad sales during that time, but seemingly not to the extent Google would like. Let’s hope that doesn’t mean more pre-rolling ads.

I can finally retire: YouTube haters can be sued

The age of anonymously insulting people on YouTube is over, and I’m ready to collect. Carla Franklin has successfully sued Google for the “IRL” info belonging to three YouTubers who called her things like “whore.”

The case stems from real-world harassment issues the former model has faced. She wants to include the online behaviour of her obsessive follower in the case against that person. She has discussed pursuing “legal remedies,” although of what variety is unclear. Suing “JoeBoomo8,” “jimmyJeanoo8,” and “greyspector09″ for defamation is possible.

Considering the years of hate I’ve collected on YouTube, my own payout should be astronomical.

MissHannahMinx successfully performs push-ups

Esteemed Interneter MissHannahMinx is on the rise.

On September 5, she posted a video entitled “JWOW – Let’s Exercise! (^o^)b.” The 1-minute-23-second masterpiece featured our favourite Japanophile demonstrating the greatest push-ups ever recorded on camera.

So far, the video has “racked” up nearly 2 million views, and I believe hit most viewed video of the day at one point. Congratulations Miss Hannah Minx! Just when I think you’ve hit the limit, you find a way to exploit your giant tits even more blatantly.

Of course, no MissHannahMinx post would be complete without a few YouTube commenter highlights. Let’s see how Minxy’s viewers took her “undousuru” (that’s Japanese for exercise, you plebes).

“Jumping Jacks next.” – teamhavoc

“Penis undousuru.” – lolkthnxbai

Interneter of the Week: MissHannahMinx

This week’s Interneter is MissHannahMinx, a YouTube celebrity on the rise. She’s only been producing videos for about a year, but already has over 80 000 subscribers. Her biggest video has over a million views.

In her Cats n’ Racks video, Minxy famously and profoundly stated “Cats, neko… very powerful on the internet. Racks… also very powerful.” Her frank recognition of what works on the internet is clearly represented in Minxy’s output. Her videos consistently include the wearing of cat-ear headbands and her own gargantuan breasts, along with other internet tent-poles like giant eyes, slightly, I don’t know, “alt” makeup, fetishization of Japanese culture, and the speaking of Japanese in a ridiculously cutesy fashion.

Much of the amusement I get from MHM’s videos comes from the comments she receives. The unbridled passion which YouTube commenters speak with is concentrated sexual obsession when it comes to Minxy’s viewers. A quick read through the comments on one of her latest videos includes such illuminating insights as:

“BEEG AMERIKKKAN TEETEES!!” – TenchiHawkwing

“For fucks sake…Your tits are so massive that they will eventually collapse into themselves like Neutron Stars.” – billyboyjennings

“wow wee she is got some babylons!!!!!!” – miscreantV0n

“titss very goud” – lkykrc

“lets take turns jerking off on her face” – dx7im

“I would be glad to give you a fuck !” – billonis

Stay classy, internet.

MissHannahMinx, Shufflingdead salutes you for exploiting the general stupidity of the internet’s population.
