Video Thing

"When I discovered YouTube, I didn't work for five days. I did nothing. I watched 'Cookie Monster Sings Chocolate Rain' about a thousand times."
-Michael Scott






I was pleased to see that YouTube has a reliable section of their site where videos are posted from universities around the country. Just like with any other form of search engine on the internet, the info you find may not be useful info at all. Some YouTube videos are mislabeled on purpose. Some have a screenshot to make you think you're about to watch what you need, but then the screen will turn black and you're stuck listening to some song you don't care about. It's pretty stupid and frustrating. If I needed videos on an academic subject, there is a better chance of finding what I need (with accurate info) on these channels.

Here's the video I chose to embed:


I made this video for an American Presidency class back in 2008. We had to make a campaign video. My professor really liked it. I wasn't quite as impressed. I got the music from a cd from the library.
