Invest in Eyewear Stocks, Protective Cups

Google, the site that gets like 978 gajillion internet searchers per minute, and YouTube, the site that plays 100 million videos a day, many of which involve some form of crotch trauma, are merging.

I spent a long time to trying to make my main job writing for TV. Now I am, and I can't help but wonder if the industry's going to be entirely gone in a matter of weeks. Because who needs to tune into television programs when you will soon have a video repository of every possible thing that could have ever been filmed?
A Samoan guy enjoying marmalade? You got it. The intro to the A-Team? Your video is loading. Cow hockey? Give that one time, but it will be there.

This is a weird time. TV has improved greatly in many ways, and so has the quality of the viewing experience, but the biggest story today involves a website where people watch grainy-quality, random, often homemade stuff, in 5 inch wide windows.

There's going to be a lot of squinting going on out there. Make some cash off this one, cmon, be smart. Or, just be like the rest of America and go search for "Ferret on surfboard."
