    You know what a great lip dub is? "Say a little prayer" from Glee. A lot of fans of the show have trio'd up to do the little dance number. That's creative, arty, promotion for the show!

    The fair use argument doesn't really hold water with me because these videos wouldn't have the same power if they didn't use, in full, the songs they're using -- which are more often than not instantly familiar to even those listeners who might not know the people making the videos. Take the "Flagpole Sitta" video that the CollegeHumor crowd put out a few years back. So much of that video's appeal lies in the nostalgia feelings tugged by the song (which I think came out when a lot of those kids were in middle school, argh). The song is what's performing the real transformative effect here; would the same video, but using, say, one of the artists put out by Lodwick's company Normative have had a similarly viral effect? Maybe, but probably not.

    Either way, lip dub videos are the ultimate statement of the Tumblr generation -- people staring into a camera pointed at themselves, trying to override the well-known creative output of others through the sheer force of their "personalities." Can this decade end soon, please?

    Dear Exxon,

    We discovered a new way for you to make more profit from the oil you've already extracted, refined and sold at the retail level! We thought we'd bring it to your attention because with all your marketing and business expertise you can surely see the advantage for your company and your shareholders.

    Sincerely,
    Some Dorks

    Dear Dorks,
    WE WILL CRUSH YOU AND EXTERMINATE YOUR DISCOVERY!

    Sincerely,
    Exxon

    First they came for the movie uploads and I didn't speak out because I didn't have a movie.

    Then they came for the music videos and I didn't speak out because I didn't have a music video.

    Then they came for the Numa Numa guy and... well, you get the picture.

    In reply to Who's the Douche of the Decade?
    Dick Cheney.

    I mean, he's not a douche because he orchestrated a war we didn't need, civil rights violations against Americans and non-Americans alike, and promoted corrupt private contracting policies that exported war merchants to the Middle East at the expense of the safety of our real Army.

    He's a douche because he did all of that while being a smirky condescending douche.

    He is the Tiger Woods of douche, and that says a lot because Tiger Woods is a pretty big douche himself.

    If his douchyness were a chocolate cake, it would be the most delicious and moist chocolate cake in the world.

    If Dick Cheney's douchyness could play guitar, it would be Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner.

    Dick Cheney's douche is so douchy it could flush out every vagina on the planet, human and non-human.

    The only time Dick Cheney didn't come of as General Douche McDoucheybottoms was when Rush Limbaugh was licking Dick Cheney's balls and going all they way down the shaft and swallowing on the teevee.

    And though Rush Limbaugh is a douche, Dick Cheney's douche could out-douche Rush Limbaugh's douche and still have enough douche left over to waterboard 1,000 Arabs . . . with douche.

    DOOSH!

    @gawkimo: OK, that was entertaining--but Cheney (and I believe this was addressed downthread) was simply too important and influential to be a mere douche. Ditto Bush.

    The way I see it, douchery implies a certain sense of overinflated self-importance that is at odds with reality.

    You can't make the case that the half-penguin, half-cyborg, half-Darth Vader (I realize that doesn't add up but roll with me) was merely self-important..

    Ultimately I chose who I thought would be the most offended by the title. Bill O'Reilly? He'd be amused. Tucker Max? He'd be thrilled. Joe Francis? Too laden with legal problems to notice.

    But Carrie Prejean. This ignorant do-nothing might actually shed a tear or two to be named Douchebag of the Decade.

    And that might make this decade of douchebaggery that much more worthwhile.

    Dov Charvey is a douchebag that only the 21st Century could produce, and that's why he has my vote. He has innovated being a sexist, sleazy ass while clasping on to traditional American capitalistic ideals. He has managed to take the douchebag type of the decade -- the hipster -- and reduce it to its most irritating components.

    Most importantly, he has almost single-handedly convinced legions of skinny white hairless young men that they look good in v-neck tee-shirts.
