Shane Lee Believes In Miracles
Is Shane Lee mentally disturbed? Possibly. Is Shane Lee medicated? He might be! At the very least, one can imagine a situation in which Shane Lee requires medication, whether or not he is receiving any. But why does that matter at this point? We live in a weird world now. Deeply troubled individuals have access to all of the tools they need to broadcast their personal fearscapes to the world, and they're using those tools. A lot. As someone who spends most of their time watching YouTubes of people at their darkest moments, it has become absolutely necessary to determine the line at which laughter at uncomfortable displays of abnormal behavior is allowed, and I think there are two general requirements:
1) the subject (or object?) in question must be of human adult age
2) the subject must have posted the video themselves, with the intent of people seeing it
Also: laughter isn't mean-spirited! Why am I being such an old man about this? I just feel weird! It's Eli Porter all over again. We need to struggle with this stuff! But man, Shane Lee: best dude in the game. Another Shane Lee classic after the jump:
You know in the Jay-Z song when Rihanna says the only thing that's on her mind is who is going to run this town tonight? Shane Lee is going to run this town! (Thanks for the tip, Chuck.)

What a serious LOLk investment. The increasing look of terror on his face as he goes up the keyboard had me crying.
Score = 9
and that the higher he goes, he's just singing the same note over and over again with increasing horror. and it sounds EXACTLY like that one note theme that kubrick used in eyes wide shut.
Score = 9
at least I got a new vocal exercise out of this

Hey guys let's be fair to Shane. I'm sure he just celebrating this morning about the cancellation of Jon and Kate like the rest of us.
Score = 3
I'm thoroughly surprised that this isn't our boyfriend.
Score = 8
Back off, he's MINE
Score = 12
That last video almost got me fired. LOLk investments have to be covert during work hours.
Also, I think that by "singing 5 octaves" he means "singing one high note repeatedly."
Score = 12
The headset in the first video is really something. He looks like a receptionist in his mother's basement waiting for that special call from the Lawnmower Man.
Score = 3
"That's because I have paranoid schizohrenia, and am on medications for it, and am just fooling around with these videos." -Shane Lee
I think that answers at least two of your questions.

"That's because I have paranoid schizophrenia, and am on medications for it, and am just fooling around with these videos."
That's a big :( kind of, it can't be good for a paranoid schizophrenic to have to deal with the ordeal that is youtube commenters.
Score = 3
Unfortunately I just had to go and check out his profile. Do not dig deep, your LOL(k) will be depleted.
Score = 5
It's like, Rip Torn wearing a nostril mic. I couldn't LOLz this more. Daymaker!
Score = 3
I don't think he's mentally a human adult, so I 707-ed..
Score = 3
I enjoy the way he saunters in for the second video. "Hello everybody. It's me, Shane Lee." True performer. I mean, the singing and crazy eyes (sorry because that's actually true) could use some work, but the intro? He's got it down.
Score = 2
I like the Auto-Tuned version of the singing 5 octaves video. Shows how ridiculously high he would have been going if he were able to sing 5 octaves [hilariously high].
Score = 1
Aw. :( I thought this was more sad than funny.
However, reading old videogum comments will never cease to entertain me.
Score = 1
Honestly, I thought he said "Hi, this is Shane Lee, something something, I believe in werewolves, there's such a thing." And then started singing this song for no apparent reason.
Score = 3
It's kind of a Wesley Willis situation.

" Deeply troubled individuals have access to all of the tools they need to broadcast their personal fearscapes to the world, and they're using those tools. A lot."
I just think about how awesome the spectacle of these individuals' productions will be like once nano-technology becomes available and commonplace, and everyone is actually creating their personal fearscapes for everyone to see AND experience. Then I get pissed because I fear I'll be long gone before science accomplishes this. C'mon science! Hurry up!

I kept waiting for the "Eh Marine" guy to come up behind him.
