Why I Love YouTube - Damned Idiotic Users
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 18:11 | baratunde | tagged Empowerment, Internet, Stupid People, YouTube in Comedy, Pop Culture
Months ago, someone posted on one of my standup videos that I was a "dumbass libral crackhead welfare sucker." I loved that so much, I added it to my press kit.
Now the ante has been raised. I just got this via YouTube email
There are a lot of stupid people, and the Internet gives all of them the tools to express themselves. Also, dude misspelled my name.

You look hideous in your profile picture (very low and thin forehead (resulting in a very small cranial space which in turn results in a much smaller then average brain size and from the looks of it possible mental retardation) ape-face and a simian shelf jaw) perhaps this could explain all the hollering and dancing around like a retard- you dont even look human, sorry to tell you but someone was bound to say this. This is what you look like barantunde.
Also, I should add, you have NO NECK. Couldnt amount to being more then a comic? SHIT

I am speechless. Go YouTube users!!!!!!!!
yeah i gotta say of all the online forums out there, the youtube user base seems extremely horrible. you just see the conversation deviate into insanity and spam and ugliness. the full range of humanity is on display there :)
Is Jacob looking at the same pic I am looking at? Above-average forehead (some may even say a fivehead) - check. Nice jawline - check. Neck? Hell ya, man has a neck. So Jacob, what are you smoking?
Anyway, Baratunde, I think you're plenty hot.
I'd bang ya.
tim, that is so reassuring. thank you. now i can rest easy
yes, i've observed this type of behavior before that jacob1975w is demonstrating. he clearly has a huge crush on you and is fighting the feeling--it is something that he will just have to work through.
I think you're cute, and I know about these things.
PS: but that is really mean and I feel horrible when people even hint at such things to me. I hope you are ok.
On Jacob's planet, all the comics are cone-heads. Believe it or not, not even Coulter, hands long and wide, cannot grip said frontal lobes. It's actually the topic of her 723rd book, "Cone-headed Liberals and Their Massive Liberal Heads".
