Ahoy! Yes, it's yet another video blog. Except it isn't. Because the videos given most priority here are not the ones that already have millions of views, which you will find all over the internet anyway. While some of those videos will feature, emphasis is placed on lesser known gems that deserve more exposure.
The blog is an "up yours" to "Charlie Bit My Finger", by far the most viewed non-music video on YouTube despite being not all that good. For more information, see the About page. Enjoy!
