I watched two videos on there earlier tonight. Romney told me that New Hampshire and Iowa are great states to hold the initial primary/caucuses in (heaven forbid he offend them before they vote) and McCain told me that a two party system was adequate for the US. I'll check back in a little bit to see if it improves (my understanding is it was just released and is adding a lot of content in the near future.
Big Pants more like. They just want a more valuable demographic clicking their crappy ads. No doubt.

^ That's cynical MINK - but I totally agree. I'm sure they have a slide on how they are tapping into the BMW driving demographic.
To be honest I'm getting a little tired of all of the niche tubes. With all of these small players popping up - what the Internet needs is a community to tie them all together and extract only the best stuff. Some kind of a video sieveing system - a "VideoSieve" if you will ...
This is my favourite of the bunch: http://www.bigpicture.tv/
Some others I've come across:
http://www.stockexchangeofvisions.org/
http://www.droppingknowledge.org/
http://www.quantumshift.tv/
http://www.empivot.com/
These sites pop up all the time, each with their own custom flash player. It's quite baffling how they don't even acknowledge eachother.
