Put the webcam down.

Every now and again on YouTube you have a kind of twilight zone moment in which one minute you are YouTubing gospel songs and next thing you're watching a fat girl slap her stomach fat together. (If you're me it happens in the opposite direction, fat girls on YouTube FTW)

Here is my journey, one minute you are watching Jamie Oliver put meat into a washing machine to mimic the way Mc Donalds create 'Pink Slime' for their burgers.

Then you're watching an Australian create a home made big mac, then you start watching how chicken nuggets are made (in a horrendous manner). Then you Stumble across a cool Japanese pool. Then you click the link that says 'COKE + PORK = WORMS'. Then you end up watching a video which is just one picture of a character from Spongebob Squarepants.

Then

Then you watch the video that shows you what kissing looks like from inside of the mouth. Funnily enough this where it starts to go wrong.

ONE ROOM, THREE GLOBAL NAMES

For three supercalifragilisticexpialidocious week’s crane.tv are exhibiting a selection of their favourite artists and designers. Being one of the leading digital video-magazines for contemporary culture, Crane.tv pride themselves on providing innovative content for the masses. With the exhibition in its second week IDOL popped down to see what the artist Kate MccGwire had to offer.

With this exhibition crane.tv intend to curate a selection of well-known creatives in order to showcase a new creative discipline with each new week. The three-week exhibition begins with Sir Terence Conran, Kate MccGwire takes the helm during the second week and Matt Pyke will exhibit his work in the final week.

Kate MccGwire chose to display an array of personal artefacts that she has amassed throughout the years. Each object in some way inspired previous works and continues to influence her art. We were provided with a sheet of paper explaining the use and origins of the objects that were featured. The interesting collection included a wide and varied selection, from her Grandmothers wedding dress (1925), to a Prosthetic eye (1940) each piece was perfectly explained, helping to provide a coherent link between all of them.

Alongside the three artists there is also a rolling programme of live events, workshops and talks by both established and emerging talent. By providing the creatives with a platform to present random pieces personal to them, crane.tv hopes to give viewers an exclusive look into their favourite artists world.

Y'ello folks

A little bit of a serious one here. Recently the interwebz was all a-buzz with news about the two proposed bills: SOPA and PIPA. It was like a David and Goliath story and in the end we all felt like david. Take THAT government.

Unfortunately a bill even more horrendous, in terms of our human rights and luxuriousness of the internet, has been electric sliding right underneath our noses. One that is due to be signed next week. It doesn't have the hype of wikipedia and tumblr behind it but it's not any less important, in fact it's a lot scarier and it really needs to be stopped. Here is a video that explains the situation very well:

We can't let shit like this go through, they shouldn't have the right to be able to monitor everything we do. It all comes down to money and control and possibly even more sinister crap that we won't go into today Please don't let it slide.

Here are a few petitions that you can sign:

Also post the petitions to your Facebook's and tweet about it A LOT it needs to trend.
