Interesting case about User Generated Content in Holland.

Dutch rapper Typhoon opened a YouTube channel where youngsters can send in a reaction on a video about their generation. In this video, people where asked what they think about ‘the youth’; lazy, crazy, alcoholics, … and so on!

Watch the video:

Now Typhoon offers ‘the youth’ a chance to respond on this ‘insulting’ video. They can post a youtube video where they can agree, or disagree with the reputation of their generation. Typhoon will create a new music video with the best (most original) responses.

Why this UGC thing can work:

• The original video is very one-sided. The people in it are extremely negative about the youth. This makes it easier to respond.
• Typhoon is an icon for youngsters, so they feel adressed.
• YouTube is a medium for young people. It’s very easy for them to create a video and post it.
• In the end; your video can appear in a real music video and can be aired on MTV. This is the prize you can win when you upload your video!

Kinepolis will give you a reward of 5 DVD’s when you can caught somebody filming a movie. You can warn the police by SMS. This might be more effective then the stupid not-skipable trailers on a DVD that tells you that ’stealing movies is a crime!’

It reminds me of the IT Crowd:

The new video by Weezer for the single ‘Pork and Beans’ from the upcoming ‘Red Album’ featering all the famous YouTube stars! Who do you recognise?

Do you know this one?
Funny site that explains logo’s!

Today, www.hansteeuwen.tv was launched, an online ‘theater’ with video and audio from one of Holland’s finest stand-up comedians Hans Teeuwen. The site is not amazing, the videos on the other hand… crazy!

Hans Teeuwen looks like he’s been using drugs since he was baby, but I like his arrogant, straight to the bone style. I hope it will be updated regulary.

Fun fun fun!
