promethia_tenkWhy is it all fanvids are adoring? I mean, let's face it, there are basically three varieties of fanvid: shmoop, awesomeness, and emo. [/generalization]
Where's the critique? Where's the snark? Where are the vids that take the hero down a peg or two, or at least slap him about the head a bit? Where's the mockery? Where, in other words, is the vid about the Tenth Doctor set to this song:
Little Jackie, "The World Should Revolve Around Me" (Sorry, embedding disabled)
I mean, look at some of this:
Ain't nothin' gonna get between me and my flow,
Ain't nothin' gonna come between me and my afro . . .
I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved 'cause I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me
I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until I start to trip
Yes sir-ee, the whole world should revolve around me.
There's only one me in the galaxy:
I am an endangered species
This kind of flower don't grow on Earth
Just lettin' ya know, for what it's worth
This kind of knowledge can cause a depression,
So I bide my time with philosophical questions:
Not for nothin', but what came first?
The chicken nugget or the Egg McMuffin?
Tee hee. And it goes on, in deliciously bouncy, trenchant fashion.
VIVE LA SATIRE!
Or am I just an evil person?

By the way I may send you another random email because I noticed something in one of my old fics that I need to ~*share*~ and you win the sharing for this one :D

I win sharing?!?!?!? \o/
