Cache, Flow Troubles at YouTube



Mainly, this is just an excuse to showcase Bunny, my new favorite filly from Philly. "My Box in a Box" (above) was item #1 on MSNBC's Countdown last night. But here's the thing: if you go to YouTube, whence Keith Olbermann plucked this video, you'd never find it by browsing through the pre-rolled sections there. It shows up on neither the "Top Rated" nor "Top Favorites" lists — which is odd, because all of the videos on those lists have fewer than the four stars of "My Box in a Box". Even worse, do a search for "My Box in a Box" on YouTube (go ahead, I'll wait), or just go to one of the Top lists. Notice how the ratings and stats in the list view are preserved once you click through to the video? Neither do I.

YouTube became popular by focusing on a core set of functions, and one of those was supposed to be video selection. But the more time I spend on it, the more I notice how hard it is to find the good stuff. Even though I know many worthwhile productions live on the site (caught God, Inc. yet?), it doesn't matter if I can't find them. If YouTube really wants to be more of a destination and not just a video server for other pages (and a lawsuit magnet), it had better start showing us its stuff right quick.

Preposterous, derivative, and anatomically impossible.

Preposterous: The video expounds upon a box in a box, but all it presents is cleavage. Not that cleavage is bad, but come on. Why not tit in a box?

Derivative: Blatantly derivative of "Dick in a Box," which is much better, based upon my low-brow humor esthetic.

Anatomically impossible: I can put my dick in a box, easily.

She can not put her box in a box, without removing her box from her body and putting it in a box and very few men would be interested in it at that point.

Tit in a Box (copyright 2007 by Booger) would have worked. Box in a box, through an apron no less, is preposterous.

A flick of my picking finger at Doctor Idiotic.

Thanks,

booger

P.S.

Keith Olbermann is an idiot. I have already provided verifiable evidence of this. Does anyone disagree?

I don't think Booger likes you.

There you go again.

In my experience, if you disagree with a conservative then you have a disagreement.

If you disagree with a liberal then the liberal thinks that you don't like him/her.

Reasonable people can disagree and still be friends.

I would not have thought that you, of all people, would be a polarizing force on issues such as these.

Disagreement is not dislike.

Thanks,

booger

It was less the disagreement than you calling him "Dr. Idiotic." Or is that what passes for reasonable discourse amongst conservatives?

Ubermilf:

That's the hard part with written as opposed to verbal comments.

Tongue-in-cheek comments don't always come off to the reader as tongue-in-cheek.

It was meant to be a witty, in a low-brow way (of course), jibe at his/her nom de plume.

Although, arguably, you do help to make my point that liberals are overly sensitive.

If the good Doctor took offense, none was meant.

Sorry,

booger

Booger, I enjoy poking the conservative windbags.

I need someone who can withstand a lot of abuse.

a gigantic YAWN to all above aside, I have to agree with Snotty here. Why in the hell would anyone need a box in a box? The logistics just angers up my blood - so, a wang or tongue or fist has to go through the box to get to the snatch? And at that, the pubis part of the delta region and not the snatch proper? How about Poon on a Platter? Not to mention that in the case of giving someone a glory-holed package of cock, isn't it the the recipient who is the butt of the joke? Whereas this concept -- ? Yeah yeah, you have cans, now maybe workshop this idea a little longer.

Also, agreed on YouTube searches. I have trouble with it all the time. Seems that I find (hit-or-miss of course) stuff more often by checking what other movies spool through on sides or at the end of the clip. Needs help.

Also, don't call the Doctor an idiot because the link is retarded. That's not conducive to discussion. It's just rude.

Agreed.

Hole in a hole would have been much more appropos.

And, Booger - your sense of humor is just more advanced than ours. Or not funny.

How can I be sure? I'm a liberal. So I'm too stupid to figure it out.

Snotty McBooger: now there's a moniker that could really stick. But does it have the legs of Poon on a Platter?

It sounds too much like Molly McButter.

I wonder if that stuff goes bad. I've had a jar of it in my fridge for a thousand years.
