YouTube Ruins World: Cats, Dogs, Cohabitate. W/Poll

In a skull-cracking vision of hell so horrific it would drive Breughel to projectile vomit Yugos for eternity, YouTube has unleashed a nightmarish plague of horror upon the populace. The pestilent, malevolent form this anti-Christical demon has taken?

Home-made political videos.

More below the threshold of Hades.

The phrase 'viral video' took on a ghastly new meaning this month, when a certain culture-jacking video-wrangler opened Pandora's box and let loose a fury on the world, one that threatened to forever winnow the coffers of MSM outlets gouging candidates through grossly inflated advertising rates. His dark pronouncement upon the dawning of this hellish era?

"The game has changed."

And indeed, it had. Reports from around the world described eyeball-burning scenarios of average citizens expressing their political views via free-distribution networks, in what some commentators have called the true End Times:

We have seen the face of Darkness, and it is user-generated political video", warned a Fox News consultant who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The goblin is out of the gate. I hope whatever gate-crasher did this is happy, because they've just wrecked campaign advertising as we knew it."

But Satan and his minions were quick to distance themselves from the incident in a press conference this morning.

"We would like to make it clear that neither the Prince of Darkness nor any employee of his was directly involved in the making of said video or videos. As dedicated as Lucifer and Co. have always been to the general dispempowerment of the average citizen, it should be obvious that our organization would have no motivation whatsoever to advance our brand in this way.

Granted, though we did accede to the creation of the Internet, we made careful plans to flood it with bad porn and American Idol clips as soon as it was feasible. If anything, we are frankly embarassed by this apparent grass-roots media coup.

Now if you'll excuse me, the Vice-President is on the line."

In the wind-swept streets of Chicago and New York, among the once-quiet rural towns of the fly-over states, sources are now reporting cases of cats and dogs openly sleeping together. One can only imagine what rough beast now slouches toward Bethlehem.

O brave new world, what hath thou wrought?
