This is likely (nay, certainly) only going to work for today (April 1st, 2008), but YouTube pranksters have set up the front page of YT so that all “Featured” videos instead redirect users to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
Mass Rickrolling at the source. I love it.
Fun With Digital Effects
When in doubt, plumb the YouTube well – that’s what I always say.
First up is a video eminently worth watching, “Ryan vs. Dorkman 2”, the story of two geeks with light sabers and serious vengeance complexes:

From That Mitchell and Webb Look. Ahhh, the Brits, always ready with the humo[u]r-making.
Ahhh, The Wonders Of YouTube!
Where else can you find music videos comprised of 4 men on 8 treadmills, instructional videos on the effects of LSD on British paratroopers and Japanese prank show clips involving stunt drivers emulating a scene from Crazy Taxi all in one place?
For free?
Nowhere, I tells ya!
Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That!
So how was the top of Mt. Everest?
Faaabulousssss!
Bwahahaha.
Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon
Not much going on today, so why not amuse yourselves with a video of Rube Goldberg-esque machines from Japan. Nifty.
