What the world is watching: YouTube’s birthday

Over 6 million people have watched the video since May 28.

To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, YouTube has released an A-Z montage featuring categories like ‘fails’, ‘memes’, and ‘questions’ from its own Spotlight channel. “From the silly to the profound, from the personal to the political, we celebrate a decade of creativity and self-expression,” YouTube says. And they have; the montage features some of the most watched videos, such as Gangnam Style (which has by now raked up over 11,000 years of watchtime since its release in 2012), and some of the silliest, such as ‘David After the Dentist’, placed under the category ‘Kidding Around’. “Thanks for a wild and inspiring 10 years” YouTube says. “Now, you’ve got 300 hours of video to capture and share in the next minute. So get back to it!” Over 6 million people have watched the video since May 28.

Real-life superhero

This fanboy couldn’t smell what The Rock was cooking. A reporter for YouTube channel ‘Screen Junkies’, Nick Mundy, who has shared many light moments interviewing Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson, got the shock of his life when the former WWE star threw him a surprise wedding — and conducted the ceremony. Mundy thought he was going to be meeting up with Dwayne for an interview. Instead, he was escorted into his own wedding. “Today, I am going to marry Nick Mundy,” Dwayne said. “Let me clarify — to his fiancee.” Dwayne had done his homework, too. The service was completely legal as the actor got officially ordained by the state of California. The heartwarming bromance has been watched over 3.5 million times since May 21.
