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.)

BOOBTUBE: IT'S RAINING CATS AND RUSSIANS

as a companion to dap's floating dog sighting, i bring you this shit:



unfortunately it does not feature exactly what you want to see, an on-body camera of this deranged (zooted?) man free-falling with his fucking feline, but you do get to see the cat realize his plummeting fate at the last second, and struggle to no avail to avoid the impending terror that lies directly below him.

found on FUCKYOUCAT.COM

ps. i believe this video holds the Best Youtube Title crown right now. it's so good i want to see a major hollywood named the exact thing, letter-for-capital-or-lowercase-letter.
