Screw You, Gnarls Barkley

“Dear Steve,
Video Disabled
A copyright owner has claimed it owns some or all of the audio content in your video My First Chest Waxing. The audio content identified in your video is Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. We regret to inform you that your video has been blocked from playback due to a music rights issue.”

Oh come on! Is there really some lawyer trolling YouTube looking for this stuff? Yes, I used Crazy - it’s a fitting song when one is getting all of his chest hair ripped out. I cut it up and used parts of it - I didn’t play it from start to finish. And it’s not like I’m using it to somehow make money. My YouTube account has officially made my $0.00. I actually used the song off their CD that I purchased. That’s like Canon saying every photo I make with my Canon camera is property of Canon (OK, I know that’s a stretch, but COME ON!).

Now my list of videos on YouTube looks like this:

Good thing they don’t know about Facebook. I have the video there, too. Hee hee. I just got a Facebook page a few weeks ago. From what I understand, there’s this "book," and now my "face" is part of it. I dunno. If we are good enough blogger buddies and you think we should be Facebook friends, make sure to let me know who you are in your friend request (your blogger alias).


Thank you, Facebook! Screw you, Gnarls Barkley!

I hope Kanye West doesn't come after me for this:

And I'm guessing the people from "8 Minute Abs" would not be happy if they found this little compilation of mine:

(Note: the title of this post was blatantly stolen from blogger buddy XT4. He had a post back in October called Screw You, Sheryl Crow that, well, let’s just say it’s a very similar situation. Only XT4 wasn’t being waxed in his video.)
