We Must Stop Avril Lavigne From Owning YouTube

thumbnail icon: We Must Stop Avril Lavigne From Owning YouTube

Not sure what Golden Fiddle was doing deep in an Avril Lavigne message board this weekend, but he discovered a fan-initiated plot that could change the way we think of what's truly popular on YouTube forever. Forever!:

We're going to make Girlfriend the first ever video on YouTube to have over 100,000,000 views.

Girlfriend currently has 88,068,719 views and the #1 video Evolution of Dance has 89,046,834 views....Check out http://www.avrilbandaids.com/youtubeviewer.html - This page has been specially designed to kick some serious YouTube butt.

Every 15 seconds this page will automatically refresh adding 1 view to Girlfriend's YouTube total each time it does. Keep this page open while you browse the internet, study for exams, or even sleep. For extra viewing power, open up two or more browser windows at this page!

We can't let this happen! Let's all watch Evolution Of Dance one more time:

what

I always thought youtube views were like iTunes play counts where it doesn't count until you finish, or last.fm where you have to listen to more than just 15 seconds of it. Anyway, guess who's going to be watching Evolution of Dance all day at work today as part of her solo crusade against Avril Lavigne.

This is like "Who do you want for President: Dick Cheney or Karl Rove?"

Thank God this is our hell and not George Carlin's. (Should he be so unfortunate to even go to hell or an afterlife at all.)

Obviously I support Avril, but more importantly I am strongly opposed to the Evolution of Dance. More like the Evolution of The Worst Thing Ever, AM I RIGHT, YOU GUYS?

Avril Lavigne is a dynamic spirit and a wild child! Look! In this video appears her strong personality! http://memopal.clickmeter.com/007042.html

I think Avril deserves the no. 1 spot because YouTube has disabled the counts used by automated systems and has deleted all of those views, additionally Avril’s videos are not embedded anywhere else but in YouTube, unlike Evolution of Dance’s video which is embedded all over the internet. It is quite amazing that Avril’s video has managed to rack up that many views without embedding, If Avril’s video had been allowed to be embedded by RCA it would have already far surpassed the Evolution of dance video long ago.

Also the Evolution of Dance video has been out far longer than Avril’s video and it has caught up in record time, proving the immense popularity of the song worldwide.

Avril’s song Girlfriend was the most legally bought and downloaded song of 2007.

Furthermore, Avril was the best selling female artist in the world in 2007 according to:
worldwidealbums.net/2007ye.htm

And Avril Lavigne now has the most NO. 1 Top 40 Hits This Decade. Avril Lavigne has ascended to a lofty pedestal: The 22-year-old now has the most No. 1 top 40 hits this decade at “five” and is the No. 2 artist in the 14-year history of Nielsen BDS, behind Mariah Carey’s six chart-toppers. —Chuck Taylor (Billboard.com)Source: billboard.com/bbcom/content_display/reviews/singles/e3i6337374c02990aa382432d13494ab554
