Videogum's 50 Most Popular Posts Of 2008
Yesterday, Stereogum posted their 50 Most Discussed Posts Of 2008. We were going to do that too until we realized that ours were all the same kind of post. Yep, Gabe's brilliant (I'm allowed to say that) Worst Movie Of All Time series! Opinions about the worst movie of all time are like assholes: everyone's got one. So instead, we got the computer to figure out our top 50 most-viewed posts of 2008. The list is full of surprises (like #1), non-surprises (like Lil' Bill O'Reilly) and also full of, um, Jason Segel's penis (twice!), Christina Hendricks's cleavage, and basically everything we ever put up with the "full frontal nudity" tag. (Ah,The Internet, always with the one-track-mind.) While this list is more of a measure of what the World Wide Web liked than what you guys liked, it's an entertaining glimpse at the things that easily amused we the people of the internet in the last three quarters of this video-obsessed year: penises, puppies, and lightsabers. Oh my:

Just like my amazon.com recommended music, the computer doesn't let me down. Thanks, HAL 9000, because I have enjoyed countless (read: measurable) plays on my last.fm from that Alice In Wonderland post. Thanks, you guys.
