By now, many of you have probably seen this video of two otters at the zoo floating around holding hands...or, rather...paws.
Apparently, this video is the most watched video on YouTube in the past few weeks, as well as the most watched animal video ever. Great. They're cute.
But the real kicker: some news anchor on MSNBC is reporting on this story, and says something to the effect of "looks like these people have too much time on their hands."
Wait. What now? She's criticizing those people who watch the video in their free time when she's actually taking time out of the news broadcast to talk about this? That's a good one. She spends almost a minute talking about the otters--the original video is less than 2 minutes long. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
How about this, Ms. Too-Good-for-YouTube Reporter? You go and report on meaningful stories in an in-depth, nuanced way, and then, and only then, can you criticize what I watch. Until then, it's back to YouTube!
(By the way...I've finally figured out how to embed video! Hooray for me! And yes, I know I'm slow.)
