YouTube Tuesday: Fa-la-la-la-la

Now, this may be controversial in the pop culture sense. Some people either love Fred or hate him. I'm not really either way. His videos are in no way aimed at my demographic. But I compare him to the proverbial train wreck; you don't want to watch, but you just can't look away. And a nice window into the world of my kids and younger siblings. My brother, for example, can't stand Fred. My other sisters love him. My girls saw that I was posting about him today and screamed, "Hey, it's Fred! He was on iCarly!" Great. That's how I found out about him; a Nickelodeon rerun of him on iCarly, another insidious tweenie pop culture icon. I figured I'd better educate myself about something my girls are obviously nuts over. That was the reason I first watched 'High School Musical'. To decide if they were allowed to watch it. I'm a neutral party. I agree that his songs have an insidious way creeping into the subconscious and that scream? *eek* But here's his Christmas contribution.




I'm thinking Fred has the right idea. I'm not saying he's right, but a new point of view is always welcome and a constructive way to change someone's mode of thinking, whether it be a productive road or a rut. And, I think I'm giving way too much credit for what this video really is; a waste of time that somehow made money. Another "gee-I-think-I'm-old" moment? I saw him in another video and said, "Aw, he's a cute kid!"
