Article about Youtube Poop on SquidCan.com
Writer Alex Joseph has published a very intersting article on his site Squid Can. The article is based upon an interview conducted with youtubepoop.com’s directory curator Conrad Slater conducted in December.
Skewing regard for copyright laws to the point of nonexistence, YouTube Poop “cuts up” original material and rearranges it into new life. “We, as consumers are meant to just watch something - pay to see it on at the cinema, pay to rent the video and then pay again to buy the DVD. How dare we rearrange it, mix it up, and create new meaning from it!” says Conrad. Unfortunately, not all Poopers are as educated as Conrad when it comes to the social and philosophical meanings of Poop. “A core audience of poop makers and viewers are pretty young and have no concept or nihilism, irony, postmodernism, bricolage, situationalism, or even surrealism!” says Conrad, “A lot of people are running blind - there is a lot of chaos!”

Hi RabbitSnore,
Your commentary has been added. I always review comments before posting them just to ensure there’s nothing incredibly inane (or spammy).
