Thomas Ravenel’s notoriety is fading on YouTube.
My most popular (among fascists, who seem to be a fairly large constituency on the Web) video of Nazis defending the Confederate flag on our State House grounds has now taken the number-one slot among my most-watched clips. Disturbing, isn’t it? Of course, there was a certain car-wreck rubbernecking quality to the fame of the Ravenel video, so it didn’t exactly put the human race (or the master race, either) in a flattering light.
But wait — my Hillary’s Heckler video is moving up at an unprecedented speed, having passed 6,000 views in only 3 weeks. (What’s faster than Blitzkrieg?) I’m thinking that within a month, that clip of Mrs. Clinton and her detractor at the recent College Democrats’ confab will outpace everything, and put the Nazis in its shadow.
In any case, here’s where things stand:
- "Nazi Presidential Candidate Defends Confederate Flag"
— 3 months old, with 6,862, this was the fastest-riser
ever before Hillary. It’s resuming the number-one spot it held just before the Ravenel scandal broke. - "The Alpha and Beta of Thomas Ravenel"
— 10 months old, with 6,850 views. - "Hillary’s Heckler," only 3 weeks old, coming up at Ludicrous Speed, at 6,235.
- "Who Resurrected the Electric Car?"
— 4 months old, still probably my masterpiece in terms of sheer
artistry (the YouTube critics give it 5 stars), with my first effective
use of the voiceover technique. 6,054 views and also rising quickly. This is the feel-good hit of my repertoire. - "Nazis Defend Confederate Flag II." My shameless exploitative sequel, shot and released the same day as the first hit, a la LOTR. 4,416 views.
