			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The video below is doing the rounds at the moment. It reminds me A LOT of another video that went around a year or so ago (featuring the same music), but alas I can&#8217;t find it.</p>
<p>Anyway, there are some interesting points in it even when some of the &#8220;facts&#8221; are taken with a pinch of salt. For instance, Ashton Kutcher may have more followers on Twitter than the population of Ireland. But how many of those &#8220;followers&#8221; are real, individual, people rather than businesses, secondary accounts and spambots?</p>
<p>Nevertheless, there are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">far worse ways</a> to spend some time on Youtube. Though there are also <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eooXNd0heM">better ways</a>.</p>
