Are You Aware That In the Next To Last Picture

Eleven Days??!!

And no one at Salon can manage to throw up, say, a video clip a day during that spacious vacation??

Ok, I've got a proposition for the Gods of Salon. I will spend precisely three minutes a day digging through my YouTube and iFilm favorites lists and come up with at least three new and exciting clips a day for the eleven days.

There's just one condition.

At the end of the eleven days, I get Lauer and Havrilesky's jobs. Deal? You've got my e-mail address, so just drop me a line.

To tide us over

Yeah, because it is the kitty and puppy videos we come to Video Dog to see.

Name of song

Playing during the kitten video?

Thanks.

name of "song"

From the overture to the Rossini opera La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie). This piece of music has been used in commercials and movies for years, perhaps most notably in A Clockwork Orange.

No offense, but you have other jobs than Video Dog, yes?

We'll miss you guys for your week off...but really, how much time off does one require from re-posting other people's online videos? ;-P

Start Day

9:00 am - Coffee in hand, sitting down to work

9:10 am - Three videos posted, taking a break

9:30-11:30 am - Wow, YouTube has a lot of stuff!

11:30-2:00 pm - Lunch

2:00-2:10 pm - Post remainder of videos, take a break

2:30-4:30 pm - Find some videos to post tomorrow

End of Day

That sound you're hearing is an ambient undercurrent of jealous rage directed at your vacation proclamation.

Have fun!

Enough with the adoreable kittens!

Are you getting incredibly good traffic for those pet videos or something? That's the only excuse I can think of for posting them all the time: an army of sad single people with video dog bookmarked for adoreable-kitten-related fun. But really guys, it's not worth it. Think of your Dignity. Please, please stop it.
