YouTube Announces First Award Winners

Posted by Zonk on from the who-doesn't-like-a-nice-ninja dept.

NinjaTurtle writes to mention the first winners of YouTube's awards series. Several of the site's (hoped-to-be) annual awards went to video series that have become very popular on the site, including the 'Ask a Ninja' segments and the pop band OK Go. "'Ask a Ninja' triumphed over what may be YouTube's biggest celebrity, Lonelygirl15. That bedroom production finished fourth, behind 'Ask A Gay Man' and 'Chad Vader.' Terra Naomi won for best music video for her song 'Say It's Possible,' a one-shot clip of her playing acoustic guitar and singing. Naomi has parlayed her online success into a record deal with Island Records and will release her debut album this summer."

    Dishonourable YouTube, It has come to the attention of the ruling masters of the Shinobi-ryu that you are allowing the depiction by various mystic means of moving picture of an imposter claiming to be a Ninja. As the only true remnants of the proud Bushido tradition that is ninjitsu today, we insist that you cease and desist allowing our image and trademarks to be blatantly stolen by this gaijin. Please accept this message as your only warning. Should you not comply with our demands, our legal department will take action, possibly including decapitations of hostages or the poisoning of pets. Domo.
