12 Days

I kind of like this whole "having a goal and getting people in on it" thing. I am going to have to figure out something to campaign for after this MTV Movie Award nonsense. Because I am going to be honest, this is fun as hell. Doing anything and everything I can to get people to vote for my video on some website and seeing people actually doing it - it's satisfying.

It's also just awesome that people like the videos I am doing. It's quite neat. Because I'm not really much of a typical internet video guy. I don't collaborate with other internet people - and I do that because when I see other people's collaboration videos I consider it painful as HELL (I get douche chills every time I see one). I don't do request videos. I don't do videos about memes. I don't do "tag" stuff or whatever it is. In fact, I am really not much of a viral video guy at all. I'm just a guy making videos about stuff I find funny going on in the world.

I just don't think that if you do humor, you should pander to internet dorks. I don't think you should pander to anyone. I got this in my inbox today:

dude if you wanna win america in battle to fucking get an MTV award dumb your shit down ..seriously everyone will not get the video ok ? ..ur shits funny but just please dumb it down if u want america to love you.

To which, I reply: I'm glad you like what I do - but what I am doing is not about getting everyone to like me, it's about the people that get what I do laughing at the expense of the people who don't. And if the people who get it go to http://www.petercoffin.com/mtv and help by voting my video (my parody of The Bourne Ultimatum) up, we could actually get something mildly non-standard onto MTV. I think that would be cool.

So everyone, get down with the cause. Or your bad self. Either one would be fine, but I'd prefer the cause.

Have a great evening!
