This is a bit of a departure from YouTube genius Fagottron, whose gorgeous takes on Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka many of you liked last year. Comprising nothing but small sounds recorded from the James Cameron masterpiece ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’, ‘Skynet Symphonic’ is my tribute to one of the greatest action features of all time! Each section is composed …

As much as I make fun of Auto-Tune, I’ve really enjoyed the Symphony Of Science series, whose makers wrote yesterday to tip us that the fourth installment, The Unbroken Thread, is now up on YouTube. Free downloads at the above link.

Lots of sites are posting their “Best of YouTube” recaps this week. We loved the parodies of NOM’s Gathering Storm ad, we giggled at all the Single Ladies tributes, and we got all teary-eyed over the many inspiring clips of impromptu marriage rallies/protests. But for me, one clip stands out above all the rest. Still makes me laugh, still chokes …

Holy Bullies points us to this bit of hate-filled YouTubery. Aside from endorsing Uganda’s “kill gays” bill, Mr. Pleasant Preacher (SRSLY) wants to send all homos to California and put a 30-foot electrified fence around the state. A “queerantine,” he calls it. Alvin at Holy Bullies: This man’s sentiment isn’t something that should be kicked aside by putting on a …

JMG reader Jon in DC is under attack by Fox News for his YouTube news clipping channel, which provides this and many progressive blogs with video proof of the right wing’s buffoonery. Several days ago Fox convinced Google to once again suspend Jon’s YouTube account, meaning that numerous posts in the JMG archives will have dead videos. So much for …

The Leffew family, whose popular YouTube videos about two men raising two kids have been posted here and in much of the gay blogosphere, will be honored with an award from the Family Equality Council. The event takes place this Sunday in Los Angeles and will be hosted by Wanda Sykes. Get tickets here.

This has been bouncing around the interwebs over the last couple of days. I’m ashamed of how many of the clips I recognized within the first second or two.

Firefox users know that YouTube often freezes every few seconds, especially if you’ve got more than a couple of tabs open. A few days ago a reader offered up this fix, which seems to work pretty well. I’m still getting an occasional freeze, but the fix appears to reduce the problem by about 90%. Remember to restart Firefox to see …

Several of you have written to point us to this amazing lip-sync video made by students at L’Université du Québec à Montréal. It’s all done in just one take and according to the YouTube notes, the entire production took just over two hours.

Here’s a very Godley & Creme-ish morphing of the faces of male actors of the last 80 or so years. I was surprised that I could name almost every single one. (Via – Slog)

Last month many of you enjoyed YouTube member Fagottron’s Mary Poppins electro mashup Expialidocious. Here’s his latest, from Willy Wonka. Visit his site.

From YouTube member Fagottron, a strangely gorgeous take on Mary Poppins. Free MP3 download here. (Tipped by JMG reader Alan T)

Remember the Big Fat Gay Anti-Hate Collaboration? Here’s a bunch of French kids doing their version. Almost as cute as the first one, I especially cracked up at the 2:00 mark.

Hey record labels – thanks for the avalanche of weekly emails about your latest smash releases. But when I go to your YouTube clip and see “embedding disabled by request”…man, you people really don’t understand what blogging is all about.

YouTube has reversed itself and restored NOM’s ad featuring Carrie Prejean. The ad was taken down after Perez Hilton claimed copyright infringement for a 3-second glimpse of his video blog reaction to the Miss USA pageant. For a detailed analysis of YouTube’s ruling, visit Copyrights & Campaigns, which you should note is a site written by John McCain’s former Special …

Two dozen YouTubers collaborated to create this take on Lily Allen’s Fuck You. Love it, love it, love it. Big props to Bil Browning at the Bilerico Project for the tip. I’m putting this on repeat for the rest of the day.

Now that Slap-Chop and Sham Wow pitchman Vince Schlomi has been arrested for beating up a prostitute (who gave as good as she got), he’s become a target for YouTube’s Auto-Tune masters. Now you know how Kanye does it.
