Don't Tell Me, Let Me Guess

The Los Angeles Times runs a lot of stupid stories on digital media, but today's item "Bradley Whitford states his case on YouTube" distinguishes itself by its profound lack of insight about the hugely popular video-sharing site. Actually the "No More Dirty Tricks" had a relatively modest 10,000 hits today, particularly when "Snake vs. Slug" has over 250,000 hits. The article is also full of moronic assertions that celebrities+politics would be a sure-fire recipe for YouTube popularity, contrary to the user-generated ethos that rules the site.
