Cog Dis
This one will require a bit of context. 10 1/2 dog years ago I was teaching a media theory course about YouTube. As an opening assignment I asked the students to explore the top 10 most watched videos for a two week period. One of the group submissions which showed up with appalling frequency was “My Love Secrets to Seduce Me”. This turned out to be an offshoot of the Athene Wins channel; you can find the first submission here. At that time it required a bit of searching to figure out exactly what was going on, but if you were persistent, which most of my students were not, you would have discovered the Ipower Web, which turned out to be an evolution of me and the 40,000 Blow Jobs initiative (be sure to read the terms of service agreement). The Ipower crew is still creating complete cognitive dissonance. BTW if you’re not familiar with it you’ll want to check out Ning.com.
