I’m telling you — in ten years there will be academic papers on YouTube, gender, and the US military.

LOL, loved the Little Mermaid vid!

That’s a fantastic selection of videos. I particularly enjoyed the Academy kids combining PT with dance and acting to make something silly. All the military personnel dancing around makes me want to rewatch Red Vs Blue.
And “I Read Some Marx” is quite possibly the best parody of “I Kissed A Girl” yet. It certainly sends a more positive message than the original.

Hey,
I’ve never posted before but I’ve been checking the site for a while now & I hope I’m doing this right. ( I couldn’t find an e-mail to send this into). But Ashley Eckstein, who voices Ahsoka on Star Wars: The Clone Wars has started a new clothing line. It’s called Her Universe. It’s goal is to create sci-fi merchandise for girls. There’s not much on the site now (it’s all Star Wars right now). But there should hopefully be more soon. The address is http://heruniverse.com if your interested in checking it out.

I am particularly enamored with the Little Mermaid and I Read Some Marx (And I Liked It).

The military videos brought back some memories (9 yrs. in the Army). Watching the AFA vid made me think, “Man I wish my PT [physical training] had been like that!” At the risk of sounding like a warmonger, that “Bullet With A Name” vid was awesome. Some of us womyn get all squee when things blow up, is all
And of course, the reminder that humor helps warriors get through tough times — nothing new (“Good Morning Vietnam” anyone?). Music and dance build camaraderie, kinda like a chemical binding agent.
The “I Read Some Marx” vid was excellent: cleverly written and well-performed, worthy of a Weird Al Nod.
We may not have to wait ten years for those academic papers, either. Thank you so much for posting these!

Haha yeah, my dad (retired Marine) was just profoundly confused by the whole thing, but DID enjoy the “Bullet” video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
