2nd Annual YouTube Awards; and the winners are….

…boring. Okay, so that is just my opinion but I sure hope that there are a far more interesting videos out there than some of those who won. Sure, the ‘laughing baby’ is really cute but really, what’s so funny about the Potter Puppet Pals? I won’t criticize each and every winner and the nominees. After all, it’s the millions of YouTubers who have voted for these videos. Votes were cast during a week-long time frame and the winners were announced Friday. Twelve YouTube videos luckily won. I say luckily because not all are undeserving. But hey, they are the winners. They deserve at least to be recognized.

Here are the top winners:

• Adorable: Laughing Baby from gsager1234
• Commentary: LonelyGirl15 is Dead! from WHATTHEBUCKSHOW
• Eyewitness: Battle at Kruger from Jason275
