This is the video for T.I.'s "Whatever You Like." It is currently one of the most-played clips on YouTube, which, by the logic of this Washington Times article, makes T.I. a viable candidate for the presidency. Of course, he'd still have to compete with John McCain, whose recent "celebrity" attack ads "have stomped Democratic presidential opponent Sen. Barack Obama in YouTube hits."
I know, but there's more.
Mr. McCain has pumped out a series of brutal yet entertaining attack ads and Web videos mocking the press and Mr. Obama, and the combination of wit and insult has pushed his YouTube channel to the sixth most watched on the site this week. Mr. McCain has beat Mr. Obama's channel for seven straight days and 11 of the past 14 days, in a signal he intends to compete for the YouTube vote.Well, that pretty much seals the deal, right? Up next for McCain: the difficult challenge of deciding which one of the 2 Girls 1 Cup performers should be on the ticket. While many advisers are pulling for the doody-maker, late-breaking whispers suggest the puke-eater might have the inside track, since her views on offshore drilling are more in line with the candidate's.That is a giant reversal. Mr. Obama had been quadrupling Mr. McCain's YouTube views and beat him every day since February, according to TubeMogul, which tracks online video viewing.
