10 Types of Videos That YouTube Should Simply Ban

Youtube videos can be very entertaining. Beautiful music, funny humor, amazing video captures of unexpected situations. But there are a few types of videos that really should be banned from the Youtube site for the sake of the rest of us.

1. Infomercials – Really? Does anyone really want to watch super long commercials on the internet? By choice? Save the space on the internet and confine them to the television set.
2. Boring rants – One person sitting in front of a video camera talking about nothing. What is the purpose of this? If it was funny or interesting, engaging in some way, that would be fine; but usually it isn’t. It’s just somebody who is bored that is willing to sharing his boring life with the rest of us.
3. Miss-matched music – If you’re going to add background music to your video, at least pick something that fits the video. And if you’re adding still pictures behind music… make sure the pictures don’t continue on for 3 more minutes after the song is finished. These types of things should remain in the original practice folder on your computer, not be uploaded for the world’s displeasure.
4. Videos of TV – Puhh-leeease! We’re very happy to know that you love that TV show, but uploading this to Youtube is not the way to share your joy. Start a blog and WRITE about it. Don’t waste video on it.
5. Song Parodies – Of the thousands of these out there, there may be a handful that are worth watching; the rest are just ‘more of the same’. Song parodies are not unique. And parodies of parodies? Now that is just uncalled for.
6. Animal Sex – Turtles seem to fascinate people, for some reason, there are way too many of those. But to make it simple, just ban the entire category, OK? Go visit a zoo or a barnyard, if that’s your thing.
7. Teenagers making out – So you’re impressed that you can get a girl to mesh her lips with yours on camera. I know it does seem like a big deal at the time, but you teeny boppers all look alike. Post the video on your facebook wall if you like, but spare the public of Youtube.
8. Dogs driving cars – Small dogs driving cars, large dogs driving cars, you can find them all on Youtube. And we all believe that the dogs are driving cars down the street. I’m afraid not.
9. Videos of computer screens – This is similar to the video of the television screen, though maybe one step further into the idiot zone. If we are on the internet, we can find and view whatever it is you have found and are viewing. Join Stumbleupon and share the site. It’s much simpler.
10. Graduation speeches – Yes, we know that you are SO PROUD of your valedictorian son/daughter; and that speech was pure genius. Save it for your next summer party and show it to your guests. They’ll be thrilled!

You probably have your own list of unnecessary wastes of Youtube’s cyberspace. Or…maybe, this is your list of favorites. To each their own, I guess.
