4: Linda Martin sings "Get Lucky" on the Saturday Night Show

As a return for the "YourTube" blog, I've decided to pick a story upon which I have absolutely no opinion... but what did the commenting masses think about Linda Martin's atrocity against humanity...

Bryan Whaley is the first to weigh in with his opinion, and I for one agree with everything he says, except for the part about all of the stuff. We're all pretty sure he's joking though, right? Daawaa, meanwhile, takes a leaf out of Jamie Oliver's cookbook in order to come up with a winning formula required to make your own Linda Martin:

I've got to agree, that's pretty accurate. IrishGary1 does his best to sum up the extent of how bad the performance is...

...while CiaranW's more worried about the rest of the World seeing this and having a good laugh at the Irish...

When you hear the words "Linda Martin covers Daft Punk", you expect the worst, right Gary Murphy?

It was even worse for tosspot86...

Paul Hartnett among other commenters argues that this is not her best work...

...while John Murphy is straight to the point.

It's not all bad review after bad review, and in the interest of neutrality, TheAlistairDick had this to say:

...But the comment of the week has to go to Chris Quiroz who sums it all up beautifully...

Bravo.

3: Mandela Memorial Sign Language Fraud

In late 2013, Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95. His funeral took place on December 15th and was televised across the globe. Included in this broadcast was the man on the right hand side of the above picture, who was hired to do the sign language for each of the speeches. As it transpired, this man was a fraud, and his signing turned out to be complete nonsense. But what did YouTube have to say about this?

Let's kick things off with Themaker4u, or as he seems to be better known... Magnum fucking P.I. He's figured it all out here, and he's performed his civic duty by signing into YouTube and revealing his genius observations. We'd be lost without you, Themaker4u, and I for one thank you for your service. 7mong61, on the other hand, saw through this one straight away:

Meanwhile, R Hill gives his rather misguided critique on our fraudster's performance...

Far be it for me to have an issue with this, but I have to say I do. It would be fair to say he "signs stupid", or indeed that he "looks stupid", but considering that this guy is communicating in a language that does not use any kind of sound whatsoever, it's a bit unfair to say that he sounds stupid. I'll tell you who isn't stupid though. nash man. He has it all sussed out, and he knows a crip when he sees one...

I'll have to take your word for it nash man. On the other hand, StretchDouche just can't control his anger, and is clearly outraged by this whole turn of events...

...much like how the name StretchDouche is an insult to usernames, I imagine. Etevaldo3000 is quick to defend the poor chap, by trying to explain to the rest of YouTube exactly what was going on...

...while Red Green has a warning for us all...

I won't Red, I won't. This next one is included solely on the basis of the username. Apparently our fraudster makes it straight to number 1 on the official "greatest troll of the century" list, compiled by the one and only expert group known as....

TheFukkles.

Hilarious.

In the end, we have round up the blog by standing up and saluting the YouTube user Billy Whizz, for being absolutely fucking hilarious...

Stay classy, Billy.

Stay classy.

2: Russian Meteorite

On Februrary 15th 2013, a small meteorite entered Earth's atmosphere and exploded over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Various different cars with dash cams picked up footage of the meteorite, and these videos were posted to YouTube. But what did the regular Joe have to say on the topic? Here's what I found...

KenniCrazy is the first off the mark with his opinion, stating without any doubt in his mind, that this event in fact marks the return of Chuck Norris. Equicar is not convinced however, countering this by confirming that the meteor heralds the arrival of something more. Obviously equicar is extremely busy, and doesn't have much time to explain, simply stating:

Thanks, equicar. I for one welcome our new space pope. Homer Simpson (and something tells me it's not the real Homer Simpson), has a different outlook on the arrival of the meteorite. 

What shit load of fuck indeed, Homer. What shit load of fuck. Homer doesn't seem to care all that much about Russia. He just wants the world to remember how they treated "tiny" (bigger in size than 75% of the countries in the world) Finland. Those bastards. While Homer Simpson tries to get his views across to the evil Russians, fixitluis is busy expressing his own views about life...

Thanks, fixitluis.

Lots of YouTuber's were busy commenting with their views on the asteroid. Some saying it was a UFO, others saying it was a nuke from North Korea. Sh1tabr1ck, however doesn't seem to notice the meteorite at all...

...while Steve Robinson thinks that Russia looks more like...

Meanwhile, Karlo Kupres expresses his distaste for the state of the Russian government...

...while Bob G simply expresses his distaste for the YouTube collective...

You tell them Bob G. Fuck off and get a husband, you sluts!

On YouTube, we get the real opinions of the masses on this event. We begin in Russia, with Vasiliy Petrovich...

Okay, Vasiliy. And what did Alex Delgadillo think of all of this commotion?

Thanks for the input, Alex. Even though you don't care, the least you could have done was spread the word about all of this. Poor Leon Skerritt was completely left out of the loop...

While RealmNinja puts into words what everyone was thinking...

I want explosions too, RealmNinja. I think it's safe to say, we ALL want explosions.

We finish up with a tip of our hats to jack simmons. He's the kind of guy who has his finger firmly on the pulse of what's going on here. While everyone takes in the once-in-a-lifetime, amazing footage of a meteorite entering our atmosphere, jack is here to point out the really important stuff...

Thanks, jack.

1: China Moon Landing

On December 14th 2013, China landed a rover which they lovingly called "Yutu" on the face of the moon. I took to YouTube to find out what the regular Joe had to say on the topic. Here's what I found...

Trackfresh is the first of our users to have their say, politely requesting that the Chinese once and for all prove if America did indeed land a craft on the moon. I find it strange that he's skeptical about whether or not the American's landed on the moon, but seems to have no qualms at all about the fact that China managed to achieve the same feat. Starteller on the other hand dismisses this moon landing entirely, and offers FACTUAL EVIDENCE (denoted in capital letters) to educate us fools and expose the lies that blind us from the TRUTH...

Apparently "we NEVER went to the moon". I can't argue with you there so far Starteller. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. However, I don't quite agree with the next point about astronauts and camera film being destroyed by constant (and I emphasize CONSTANT for some reason) radiations. At least he offers a solution. We need to invent an "extremely powerful magnetic field" compact enough to, and I quote:

Whatever floats your boat, or in this case, space ship, pal. 

4cc3ss43 is simply terrified by the news. And I can't blame him. Nobody seems to be addressing the real issue here:

If they manage to start cloning moons, what will that mean for humanity? 24 hour werewolves? Endless night time? I'm scared people. VariousCamels only serves to heighten my fears even further, by highlighting another frightening fact...

Jesus. Tittyfucking. Christ.

Jay zaeh seems to have over-reacted a little following the news. He let's one little moon landing obscure his political views...

And while he's busy deciding what to do on election day, Jack Mehoff questions the validity of the footage:

Well excuse me Jack Mehoff, but you don't sound like the most expert of experts on what's real and what's not real to be making such a decision. Finally, now that they're on the moon, what's next for the Chinese? What is the ultimate goal of this mission? What do you think they should do while they're there? Over to you, lu lin...

The Russians have a different view however. They don't want any fucking around while we're there. Straight to work...

Jerry Perry on the other hand, is just here to have a little subtle racist fun....

...while Macdizzle Bizzle isn't even trying to hide it...

Keep watching the skies...
