You Suck! Don't Broadcast Yourself

With the expanding world of technology and media, there comes new ways to make yourself known on the web. One of the most popular ways is through a well known video site called YouTube. This site brings out the filmmaker in all of us and allows us to share what we have made with the world. Using video blogs and short films, people all over the world are broadcasting themselves. But does everyone deserve this great privilege? There seems to be many people who abuse the power of YouTube. I am speaking of the people who upload cellphone videos of a ping pong match, where nothing amusing even happens. Or people who don't even know how to hold a camera, and managed to record capture and upload an upside-down shot of their friend shooting hoops. YouTube is a great location for people who have a lot of talent, or even a little bit of talent, but nobody in the YouTube Community wants to watch people with NO TALENT. Perhaps the terms of use should include: Do not upload videos that suck!

The Green Man Is a National Hero

During the Homecoming game, there were many unfortunate mishaps. The Marching Band showing up late, The Number 1 Fan (Viewmont Mascot) dropping the ball, and a premature attempt of the Viewmont "Rowing." But none, so tragic, nor intentional, as the de-masking of the school wide hero - The Green Man. The Green Man is seen as a National Hero to Viewmont students. He can fight crime better than Superman himself. The de-masking of this hero was simply uncalled for. What kind of joker would want to reveal the identity of Viewmont's very own Batman? I simply think it's ludicrous.
