"Friends forever" clips are an insult to amateur cinematography worldwide.

Browsing trough some video-sharing website, I found it littered with such atrocities. Being quite a movie-lover, and genenral person of great taste, I once again take the liberty to be quality control, so you don't have to.
These aren't as much videos, as much as simple slideshows, with some faceless pop-disco-dance-remix-hit/chalga playing in the background. They even aren't as much slideshows, as they are self-styled parades of inanity, and lack of skill in terms of art.
To my horror, the people who post this stuff, rarely seem to satisfy themselves with one or two videos. They clog perfectly good websites, with their unknown mugs. NEWSFLASH! Being on a video doesn't mean you are famous. Not anymore. And also owning a camera, or having a friend (forever nonetheless) who has one, does not make you photogenic. No one knows anything about you, we don't want to see you on a video on the internet, along with your friends, posing the way you see in pop-folk and teen magazines. No one cares about it, other than you. Just post it as a private video, and spare the people's (my) eyes, bloodvessels and vocal cords.

Now after my little rant, generally about such videos, I will finally come to the point, and bash the artistic qualities (or lack thereof) meticulously , in a ridiculously-satirical manner.

The titans of literacy that comment your video (most of tham having witty online pseudonyms, which I can come up with, by writing "grrl", "girl", "rnb", "emo", "happy", "sad", etc. on scraps of paper, putting them in a hat, picking up several at random and adding a number at the end, as to separate me from the thousand others, possessing such a quick and sharp wit) might be fiercely raving your video ("we r teh sweetest. :P :P :P :P :D :D :D :* :* :* <3 <3 <3 kekeke", "i wubz u 4ever [insert name here] :) :) :) :) :) :D :D :D :D ;) <3 <3 <3 <3 !!!), and you, as decency requires express your gratitude for the positive feedback ("thx vm [insert witty handle here] i wub u 2 :* :* :* :* :* :*), but I beg to differ in my humble opinion. An my humble opinion is, that your video is infact worthless rubbish. I'm pretty confident my tortoises can make a better one. Miles better. Infact, I'll tell them to start immediately.

Let's assume I am watching the average "friends 4ever"/"4ever frs" video. Such a video starts off at a monochrome screen with white letters in a plain font , containig the names of those "starring". Is the plain sans serif/arial and single-colored background symbolic of your friendship's plainnes, simplicity and sincirity? Or is it a demostration of your lack of talent and video/image editing skills? And lack of taste? We will let this one pass by, the video might redeem itself later. What do we notice? You write NOT SOLELY IN CAPS, BECAUSE EVEN YOU ALREADY KNOW IT'S ANNOYING and not solely in small caps and no commas. BuT bY aLtErNaTiNg UpPeR aNd LoWeR CaSe, 4nD 0cC41sOn4Lly 50Me 1337. I am tempted to assume this is a symbol of the ups and downs in your relationship, and how you overcome them. I, however resist the temptation, and will prosaicly assume that it is another manifestation of the absence of your talent, and you are desperately searcing for a way to make your captions a little bit more eye-catching. We hear the latest dance/pop hit, you heard in the local ersatz-disco in the background. I don't think there is any symbolism involved here, it is just style, similarly how noir features dark, depressing tones, so does your shallow devoid of quality excuse of a video requires shallow, faceless music to fit. So far so good, BUT there is a little doubt lingering that you might actually have a shred of clue and talent. But it is not to be, with the swiftness of a wild steed galloping across the plane, you savagely crush any lingering doubt. How do you do that? Easy. Google random images, and add them in between your pictures. Usually it's something you found while looking for "frends" [sic], "luv", "fourevar"or "eternal", with no aesthetic idea behind it.

Face it. Not everyone is built to do a side split, not everyone has talent. We can't all be directors.
Well, we can, if we disregard, the whole requirement for a shred of talent and the entire concept of division of labor. But cheer up, you can help! By removing any such videos you made, and instead go and appreciate those who actually possess skill and talent.

Disagree? Drop me a comment!
