Face It!
Well, it seemed to take forever but I was finally able to put this baby together. Started with a little idea and turned into a wonderful video. The only purpose to this video is to put a smile on your face, and I think, perhaps, I may have just accomplished that.
Thanks to everyone that participated and sent in clips. You're what its all about.

Blunty3000 DMCA Update!
To get you up to date on the ins & outs of this saga, basically it goes a little like this. Well known Australian vlogger/gamer, Nate, who goes by the name Blunty3000 gets into a relationship with an American youtuber known as Katz20two. With some financial aid from the Youtube community Katz is flown to Australia to be with Nate. Things happen, cheating occurs and the two get into a fight which resulted in Katz being tossed into a wall. Months, and many details I'm not privy to later, Katz vlogs about what happened. Blunty then posts a video as well in an attempt to defend himself.
I, having a show about gossip on Youtube, bring up what happened between the two and try to turn it into a positive dialog within the community about Internet privacy and domestic abuse, especially now that there are videos posted everywhere about the subject and ten's of thousands of people are now involved. I did use a short audio clip from both of their videos.
Lo and behold several days after posting my video, it was removed due to a copyright violation by Blunty. I, with the encouragement of the community, file a counter DMCA claim. Time goes on and suddenly last week, without a notification from Youtube, my video was reinstated. I believe its due to the fact that Nate likely didn't respond to the counter DMCA however, I'd like to believe that Fair Use won out. What do you think?

Talkin Tube 9 - The Power of the Internet
Youtubers Unite to say NO to animal abuse!
I was outraged this morning when I saw a video posted by Zipster08 that had a clip of a video posted by glennspam1. The video posted by glennspam1 show blatant torture to an innocent animal, presumably this boy's pet cat. The cat was thrown against a wall and cried out for help. Zipster08 made a desperate plea to the Youtube community to ban together and flag this channel and flag this bastards videos.
I watched, stunned as within an hour or two the comments came flying in. Not only that, but a group that will remain anonymous, also got a hold of the information. Soon it was posted around the internet. Shortly thereafter, the video was removed as well as the boy's channel suspended. It is also rumored he has been taken into custody which we can only hope is true, for we all know typically what kind of person this type of adolescent behavior spawns.
Unfortunately Terry's deeds were seen as a TOS violation, likely due to the fact that he used a clip of the cat being abused so as to get the attention of those watching. He's now on Youtube probation and has a mark against his channel for the next six months. Thank you to Terry and the Youtube community, you really pulled through...
