In what will probably go down in the anals (spelling?) of history as the teabagging heard round the world. Eminem was thrust (word choice?) into the rather untenuous position of being either the willing party to public pubicity or was scrotially assaulted and did little else but flee his winged attacker in a pouting rage. Neither scenario looks likely to play out well in the rapper’s world where beat and smack are not part of a gay lover’s symphony but rather the jargon of uncompromising machismo.

The press agents and PR firms did what they could but Sasha Cohen managed an authentic masterpiece and it will take G-Pimp Shady some tight doing to get out of this with his career intact.

But that’s not really the point of this article. What this moment seems to realize on a grander scale is the idiotboxification of Youtube. That is, once the realm of cute, innovative, shocking and politically transformative viral videos, we are now becoming accustomed to a streaming fare of the more puerile variety, and just in time for summer.

Perhaps we should check in on the Real News Network, (Hosted at Youtube) sometime soon to confirm whether this is indeed the case, but I must admit a certain confidence when putting forth my conviction that the aforementioned incident may have garnered a multiple of views over all of that privately funded and defiantly independent network’s documentary efforts combined.

And so we have arrived, at last, at the land promised us by Aldous Huxley, a quivering Manga of tentacular entertainment stretching across both land and culture to enrich our most primal of lizard of cortexes with a galaxy-dimensioned plethora of potty humor.

…and it is Google, brainchild of Stanford alumni who have made this all possible for us. Today we bask not in ignorance, nor in spite of things, knowledge and intelligent commentary best left burned in a bonfire set by the current crop of fascists, but snug in our knowledge that the truth is out there, and we have chosen to ignore it.
