I've got soul but I'm not Sister Souljah


I realize this commercial aired a lot during the Summer Olympics, but it still pumps me up every time I watch it. As someone who's never excelled in any sport other than Bocce, it speaks volumes when a sports commercial motivates me to action.
I love what Youtube has done for short filmmakers trying to get their work seen. When I was in film school, it was all about applying to get into film festivals in order to have any hope of a large, non-campus audience. It's so much better now: filmmakers are receiving exposure, I am fighting sleep at one in the morning watching random stuff that is hilarious. I mean without Youtube, I wouldn't even know who Charlie the Unicorn was.
