Ten Years - How It Changed My Life

In this video, David takes you on a very personal journey into the past ten years, and talks about how his life has changed.

This is a little more wordy and personal than my normal videos. I hope you find it interesting.

In the comments or a video response on YouTube, tell me how your life has changed over the last 10 years. Is your life what you expected?

Lemon Chicken with EAR WAX?!?!

In this video, David discusses the evils of impulse shopping at the supermarket, giving away horrible food rather than throwing it out, and whether a jar of Lemon Chicken stir through sauce is actually just a jar of hot ear wax.

PAULA DEEN'S SEXIST COOKING CONTEST (Please Watch and Share!)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK / TWITTER ETC - SPREAD THE WORD!

PAULA DEEN'S CHANNEL:
http://www.youtube.com/pauladeen

YOUTUBE BLOG ENTRY:
http://goo.gl/HfOg

In this video, David expresses his outrage at the competition currently being promoted on the YouTube Creator's Corner Blog by fellow YouTube cook Paula Deen.

IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THIS CONTEST TOO, FEEL FREE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH YOUTUBE, KRAFT FOODS (The sponsor of the contest) OR WITH PAULA DEEN HERSELF.

Her contest is only open to women and strictly forbids men from entering the contest, in what can only be described as the most blatant examples of sexism I have seen in quite some time. (See blog link above)

I am stunned that YouTube would promote such an obviously sexist contest. If I created a competition that banned women from entering, I would be torn apart (and possibly kicked off YouTube) but apparently it's OK for women to discriminate against men.

I love how sexism is the new path to female empowerment. For shame Paula Deen.
