The Lyrics
Some people will do anything for their "15 minutes".
Who wants to see me filled with air? (we do!)
Wrasslin' an angry polar bear? (we do!)
Who wants to see me try to french-kiss a snake?
Or step on a rake? My nose, it might break...[uggh!]
Although I'm des-pe-rate for fame (that's true!)
My only talent's getting maimed (he's screwed)
I've stuffed my posing pouch with ice cubes (freeze "jewels")
Now it's viewed...by millions on Youtube!
Who wants to see me take that dare? (we do!)
Putting lit matches in my hair? (we do!)
I've got a BB gun that's loaded and cocked...
My rear end gets shot: it hurts quite a lot...[ow!]
Who wants to see me get some scars (we do!)
From playing chicken with fast cars? (we do!)
When you get bored with surfing for boobs (wheee! boobs!)
Please switch to...my dumb stunts on Youtube!
Who watches me fall down my stairs? (we do!)
It's hardly Shakespeare, but who cares? (we do...er, don't!)
Who wants to see me hot-wax my pubic fur?
The chatrooms confer...the answer's "yes, sir!"
Who's downloading my best stunt yet? (we two!)
Don't watch if you're eas'ly upset (eeek! spew!)
I've bought a mouse and plenty o' lube (squeak? oooh!)
What I'll do...might just shut down Youtube!
Wrasslin' an angry polar bear? (we do!)

Brilliant as always, sir K. But today's philosophical question is: did people start acting like idiots because of YouTube, or did they act that way before YouTube and now have a way to share their, um, accomplishments?
Brilliant! :-D 555
Another funny, funny write..
Another wonderful write, K - looking forward to the video being posted on YouTube :-)
That was awesome and HILARIOUS,5s
Thanks Rex, LLLB, AFW, Phil and Jackie. My thoughts on Rex's question:
I think YouTube kind of encourages and magnifies, rather than creates, stupidity. Doofuses (doofi?) are more likely to escalate their already deathwish-esque behaviour if they can show it off to thousands, rather than a select few.

Good work Kristof. I agree with your observations. Doofi do as doofi see.
Best of the day! :)

Thanks Al, Pip, Mac and Dave!
