Thing 20 - You Tube

In a "Washington Post" editorial a couple weeks back, the author marked the anniversary of Diana's death by watching Tony Blair tribute on You Tube... but now that a couple of weeks have passed, Britney is so much more newsworthy. Did I really just write that?! I have to confess that I spent about half an hour reading about her train wreck of a performance at the VMA, finally watched the video and checked out various blogs... What is it about a startlet's journey of self-destruction that is so gripping? So I won't post the Britney bashing (and even funnier defenses) that litter YouTube these days - but that leads me to say that it is a very easy site to search.
