…but I can get into some YouTube. Hat tips to Rusty, Sara, and Catherine for alerting me to my own success.

I have to say, considering how badly she flopped right out of the gate on her time in the YouTube YouChoose Spotlight — referring viewers to her website to vote for a pre-selected set of songs rather than soliciting user-generated video feedback, as is the purpose — Hillary Clinton and her campaign managed to recover in a very amusing and YouTuber-satisfying way, by incorporating (in wee-tiny little snippets) many of our responses (including my sweet, sweet purty face) in her follow-up video with an even better sense of humor than she tried to have in her first.

Haw haw haw, how charming and fun! Except — wait a second. Did she just make fun of a number of those of us who bothered to respond to her rather weak first video? Why, yes she did! Particularly those enthusiastic (if kinda scary) young ladies singing an original composition about Hillary, complete with interpretive dance! It’s one thing to reject my AWESOME SexyBack suggestion, because, yeah, I was kind of poking fun at her video, but I believe us peons have more liberty to make fun of royalty than vice-versa, particularly when you’re asking us to vote your ass into office. Minus twenty-five points!

I also have to say it’s kind of weak that her internet staff wasn’t able to import and edit the contributed video, in 4:3 format, together with her own recorded video, in 16:9 format, in such a way that the imported video gets shown full-screen. C’mon, Clinton Campaign, you have like nine bajillion trillion jesusdollars, you can’t make a better video than the one I made for mah boy Joe Biden? P’shaw. Color me underwhelmed.

Meh, who cares. Half a million people are going to see my purty face over the next few days. What did you do today? (Though why’d she have to include that scary dude who eats his microphone? God, YouTube makes the blogosphere look refined.)

And if you were wondering about the title of this li’l post, it just so happens that my research continues to be cursed, and I am never going to graduate, because here at the Georgia Institute of TECHNOLOGY, I can’t find a furnace in which to heat treat my emergency last-chance specimens. Please kill me in the face with an angry badger, and then set fire to the whole school. Amen.
