Watching YouTube videos and wondering why?!

First of all, why was I watching YouTube videos? I was watching videos with the boys as we waited to get out to go see the Auto Show. We had an hour to wait and the boys actually refused an offer to go to Baskin Robbins and instead chose to watch some YouTube videos of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh parodies. The Pokémon was something "crack" and the Yu-Gi-Oh was something "crap". Within the first couple of minutes, I was appalled. I wondered why the boys would choose to waste their time watching such rubbish. However, we had an hour to kill and I was willing to spend that time trying to understand this madness.

Another couple of minutes later, I realized that the video we were watching was actually very cleverly put together. Couple of videos later, I had some respect for the dude who made them. I am sure there were 2 or more dudes as we watched 2 different series. The editing was great, but I was still not sure of the content. It was literally aimed at boys who enjoy jokes about bottoms and farts. Not to be sexist, I am sure some girls like those jokes too! The boys were definitely having fun.

There was a bit of profanity and also, references to girls and boobs. Hans was a little oblivious and ASid got a little uncomfortable. I actually enjoyed the teen's discomfort. Eventually though, I felt like watching one or more episodes is fine; however, continuously watching this crack/crap stuff could lead to mind numbing consequences. I hope when there is no supervision, the boys are able to restrain themselves and not OD!

This YouTube stuff is no less than cheap drugs!
