Happy Birthday To YouTube

The lovelies over at Gingers is the Watchword pointed out that today is YouTube's official birthday. Although the domain name was activated in February 2005 and the first (boring) video was uploaded that April, public beta testing began in May before the site's official launch in November.

So, to commemorate the birth of one of the greatest time sucks to ever live, here is a collection of videos that have brought me joy over the years. I shrunk them down some so this wouldn't take up my whole front page.

I fogot about the Asian Backstreet boys!! And OMG Lazy sunday and the dentist are my two favorites. Nice pics.. and I can't believe it's only been 5 years!
That Mary Poppins trailer scared the shit out of me. No lie.

And as much as I am not a fan of cats, Kittens Inspired By Kittens is awesome. "I'm her mom." "No she's not!"

Wow, Asian backstreet boys. That is a memory that I thought therapy had helped wipe. Thanks a lot!

I was kinda hoping for a "Charley bit me!" moment, but a mighty fun collection of shrunken vids nonetheless!!

THANK GOD for YouTube. I've seen political shootouts in Iran taken by cell phone, of course "David After Dentist" ranks high, and all the concerts I don't get to see with my own eyes.
