THE B(R)E(A)ST OF BOOBTUBE IN 2(o)(o)9

okay so I guess us Gordheads are doing our oblogatory (i get extra points for that one) year-end best-of lists, because if we don't, then we'll be immediately ejected out of the blogosphere, and sent into the greater internet void that lies beyond (the farmville-osphere). So I now submit for the approval of the Permanent Midnight Society:

The 2009 Gordies for The Top Best Internet Youtubes of the Year of 2009, in IMAX 3D

(note: it's irrelevant whether the youtubes were produced or released in 2009 – it's that they were thrown up on GG this year. We outlive time, yo.)

"The prospective groom is the son of Sandra Luciano of Gaylord, Mich."

Also yeah, that robocop shit is way funnier than the winner. I dunno, last minute anglocism got the best of me I guess.

which is why it totally shoulda been called the b(o)(o)bies.
