Random Disposable Heroes of YouTube

This is a journey into the sucking vortex of randomness and nostalgia that YouTube can allow you to get lost:
Back in the early 90's my friend Matt showed me a song called Television, Drug of a Nation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgOWTM5R2DA) by The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Somehow, it popped into my head and I looked it up. I remember the lyrics really hitting home. I just listened to it again and shook my head because I think that it still rings true, only more so perhaps.
Then through a click or two I found this old gem from MC 900 Ft Jesus: Truth Is Out Of Style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYtlpG0hb38&feature=related ). I lingered in around his tracks for a while. There's a strange familiarity with these songs -- not sure how to describe it, but it is sort of a simplicity and rawness (not in a vulgar way) that reminds me a bit of Beck (Killer Inside Me).
Then, I somehow found my way to a series of really bad or really funny (not sure which) sexy Bollywood video clips.
This quickly degraded to boob pressing videos from Britney to Hilton. Actually, they were pretty boring (does that mean I watched them?)

OK, off to see something different. I hit the channel button.

The first button I chose, which was fairly random in that I didn't read what it was until after I picked it. OMG! It was called the ForceMeBig Channel. What is that you ask? I have no idea what the point of this video was, but it had some skinny dude in boxers showing you his profile before he shake bongs (think beer bong with a protein shake) over 4 thousand calories of a weight gain mixture shake in two tries. You watch him do this, he shows his profile before and after, cleans up his mess (and they mention he does this before his boyfriend comes home) and then he takes a nap for proper absorption. The whole thing is narrated as if it is a training or a science video with quiet music in the background. Huh?
The next one was boggling also. This guy was documenting his getting fatter by posting videos of his belly over time. Each entry had a higher weight to it. I didn't watch those -- I could see them on the side strip that shows related vids. But I did read the comments under the one I saw and was equally surprised: They all seemed positive. They ranged from, "oooh, so cute," to "I can't wait until 250." I was a bit confused, since I am trying hard to go in the opposite direction as that.
Trying to get out of that mess, I clicked on something from DadLabs titled,
What Makes a Great Babysitter? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLRZWimmfE) This time I at least looked before I clicked. This caught my eye because at Friday night dinner over a friend's house we were talking about how hard it is to go on vacation (without our kids) because there is nobody who can watch them overnight. We came up with the idea that we could start up our own business of having a kiddie hotel -- just like a pet hotel! Parents could drop off their kids and go on a guilt free vacation on a weekend. Our wives immediately dismissed the idea as complete idiocy. I bet they were thinking about Daddy Daycare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgFkJCbB2ks

Not sure I want to describe the next descent into strangeness, but you wouldn't believe me if I did, so I will. This is a bizarre entry: all you see is a woman playing/caressing her high heeled shoes with her amputee arm. Not much warning there.

Next up on American Idol: Danny Noriega. Poor Danny. Every time I hear his name, I think of Manuel Noriega, former Panamanian Dictator. I wonder whatever happened to him. <---- back to Manuel in a minute. Where was I? Oh yes, Danny. I watched his audition where he sang Proud Mary. They loved it. Me, on the other hand, loved Ike and Tina's version, here recorded in 1974: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdg4xeK9F9Q&feature=related

But now it is over, and I can't stop thinking about where the hell is Manuel. Did he die? Did he get out of prison? Quick-- ask Wiki!
"The Federal Bureau of Prisons website as of February 2008, does not give a projected release date for inmate Noriega (ID # 38699-079).[6] However, he may be handed over to another country for trial or imprisonment instead of being released into the public realm."

From there I began a similar journey I shall call Wiki-creep: The random wanderings through Wiki links.
I clicked on the Bureau of Prisons link ----->lethal injection ------> decapitation. Here I came across one of the funniest lines in Wikipedia that I can remember:
"Decapitation is invariably fatal, ..."

With that, and an almost 2 1/2 hour journey of time I could have gone to bed, I will sign off.

Post script: You guessed it. I didn't sign off. I continued hitting Wiki links. Ugh. There's just so much interesting info. My, how time flies.
