I really got into YouTube during the election. I'd just check in every day to see what the candidates were up to, and to watch funny clips from Conan and the Daily Show. Sometimes I'd find things on YouTube to post here. I really don't think I look at stuff that's too warped. Why is it, then, that when I enter that site, it greets me by my screenname, and then says something like, "We have a video that you might enjoy based on previous views," and it's always the most sick stuff. Today it was a video with the headline: "Lion Attacks Cameraman, eats arm."

Unfortunately, I'm so morbid, I had to click on it and then began screaming when I saw a lion in a cage gnawing on an arm. I clicked it off. Then wondered if the camera man with the missing arm was actually the one still shooting the footage. Was there blood spurting everywhere Monty Python style? I decided to have another peek but I had left YouTube and when I went back I had to type in "Lion attacks man." And a list came up that read, "Lion eats Baby," Lion attacks Toddler," Lion drags infant."

Of course I couldn't look, but my question is, do they actually show people getting killed on YouTube? Do they have snuff videos?

I think the reason YouTube thought I might like the lion footage is because I often look at animal births on YouTube. Its soothing. Try it.

Anyway, here's a lion video from the Nick Park Creature Comforts series. Nobody gets killed, I promise.
