Come on, YouTube Community

I work hard at stand-up. I put videos on YouTube. Some are stand-up, others are sketches, Crucial Element, and McCain attack ads. My stuff doesn't have a lot of views, but for a comic without TV credits, it's respectable. Not enough, but still respectable.

Now, I realize that I will never have a video that gets more views than a video of a farting baby, a kid falling off of a bike, or a guy getting hit in the balls by anything, but yesterday things got ridiculous. I got an email from my girlfriend that said something along the lines of, "Check this out. I'm a star. 30,000 views." I didn't even know she had a video on YouTube. Why would she?

I clicked on the link. She and I saw Obama speak in Philadelphia last weekend. He started talking about the Phillies. She recorded him talking about them, I guess to show her friends who are Phillies fans. She put it on YouTube, so she could send it to them. Now it's on Yahoo Sports, and every Phillies related thing in the world. Double you tee eff? It's now well over 30,000 views. And the comments are CRAZY. People are trying to bring him down for it, when he was clearly joking around. So, my girlfriend has destroyed my self-esteem and appears to be trying to bring down Obama in one fell swoop. We're going to have to have a talk.

My only consolation is that I can be heard clapping in the video when he says, "I'm a White Sox fan," because I'm a White Sox fan too. So, that video that I'm in has over 30,000 views. But the Crucial Element teaser... under 2,000.

Come on, YouTube community. Get with the program. Also, don't forget to holla at your boy (I've never said that. Wanted to give it a shot. Overrated.).
