Towleroad Guide to the Tube #263
YouTube handed out its 2007 YouTube Awards in several categories last night. Here are two of the winners.
BATTLE AT KRUGER: I posted about this back in May of last year. Absolutely my favorite of the bunch, and one of the best amateur wildlife videos ever. Winner for " Eyewitness".
HUMAN TETRIS: Winner for "Creative".
Check out the other winners here.
*** The following are not award winners:
PENIS STRAWS: Mother offended that Walmart is selling drinking straws to her kids. She "can't think of any other thing." (source: slog)
CHRIS CROCKER: The Chris Crocker video of a blink which has received more than a million views.
Check out our previous guides to the Tube here.
Crocker: brilliant internet experiment or a pathetic idiot who's outlived his one-joke status?
Either way, I DON'T CARE. Never want to see him featured here or anywhere else again... please?

Please tell the "penis straw" mother that a vote for Clinton or Obama is a wasted vote. Her vote belongs to John McCain, and his Halloween Holiday in Isreal.
Chris is at peace. "She's" an Obama Girl now.

Hey, your daughter is going to have to learn how to suck one of those sooner or later, just so you know.

So happy Michael Buckley won for his What The Buck? show. Everyone should watch his show, he's the funniest and hardest working youtuber.

I can see the penis in the straw. I can see penises everywhere, though: in clouds, in abstract. But my favorite is seeing a penis in a butt.

Thank God that little girl didn't drink out of that dirty, sinful straw. The nerve of Wal-Mart!
Hopefully this mom will convince them to close their drinking-straw section entirely in all of their stores to make room for a larger gun section! Praise Jesus!

I just had a vision of little Ashlynne at 16 years old in frosted lipstick working at the Dairy Queen.
I think that line's from Baby Boom. One of my favorites.

I'm just so disappointed in Wal-Mart for taking those straws off the shelves!
I want those straws for my next party, dammit!!!
Guess I'll have to settle for the real thing.

OMG! Give me a freakin' break! It takes a bit of an imagination and a dirty mind to come up with the shape of a penis. What a way to teach your daughter that body parts and sex are dirty! I'm so sick of these narrow minded idiots. Shame on Wal-Mart for giving in to this crap. My suggestion to the mother: if you find a straw-shape that offends you in the package then THROW IT AWAY! I feel sorry for that little girl.

Love the wildlife video. Told all my friends about it.

Please Andy no more of the Chris Crocker posts, he is so annoying, even when he's not crying. A million hits, this country is so fucked up.

After watching the wildlife video, I don't need the rest of my morning coffee, wow.
I avoid Wal-Mart like the plague, but those penis straws are collectors' items--they're making a bad business decision pulling those babies from the shelves.
As for the CC blink, I know I'm in the minority here, but I find him kinda brilliant.

Reminds me of the scene in the movie Death to Smoochy with the cookies shaped like a rocket ship -- or is it a cock and balls?
Really, truly, penises are everywhere. This was in the news here in Oregon a while back: http://www.katu.com/news/8345912.html
