Misheard Lyrics, Boobs, and the Bad Pitch

I spent the last hour hunched over my keyboard trying, desperately trying, to somehow free associate a connection between the topics of boobs, misheard lyrics, and script selling. I failed. Blame the boobs. So, instead of a cohesive post that pleases with its narrative symmetry, I offer instead this snackable, jello mold-like assortment of videos I discovered today.

Misheard Lyrics Misheardlyrics guy has only posted one video on YouTube — an inspired version of Pearl Jam’s Yellow Ledbetter — but it has already racked up close to 50,000 views. If you watch one video today, watch that. Other misheard lyrics vids of note: Zoing, the seeds of love, Rock the cash bar, and a version of RHCP’s “By the way.”

Boobie Philanthropy An old site that helps women find men who want to sponsor their breast augmentation surgery is in the news again. An NBC affiliate in south Florida (I was expecting San Fernando, but whatevs) recently covered MyFreeImplants.com, a site founded in 2005 which applies social networking principles to the hunt for bigger boobs. The crass advertisement for the site has been a hit on Google Video and YouTube. But the only overt MyFreeImplant user I found on YouTube, ryleighalyssia, hasn’t found an, ahem, big audience. Meanwhile, over on the site itself, a male patron of the boobie arts explains how to attract men by citing the wisdom of Bill Gates: “Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one. And you’d better learn how to operate a computer.” Or a webcam.

CBS’ Clark and Michael CBS recently launched an original online series called Clark and Michael. It’s a mockumentary following two wouldbe script writers as they pitch their ideas to every studio exec that will listen. The first episode is about ten minutes, but definitely worth the time commitment. Despite the fact that the show is a mockumentary, it could just as easily be a real doc. Does anybody doubt the members of the YouTube generation are following each other around with cameras, preserving their struggle for fame for posterity? Could it be any other way?
