I'm posting not to comment on 2G1C (like some of the others, I managed to learn about it a little while ago without watching it, thankfully) or even to note the omissions from the Webbies' list, but to quibble with one of their inclusions:

Why choose 'Here We Go Again' (sic - the song's actual title is 'Here It Goes Again') instead of 'A Million Ways'? The latter (featuring the band doing a choreographed dance, in one constant shot, in a back yard) was the initial video that was circulated virally and that made them a success. 'Here It Goes Again' was also quite popular, but I don't get its inclusion here - it's like putting one of the remixes of 'All Your Base', not the original, on the list.

That basic concept, and then their mistake with the name (alright, AND the exclusion of Numa Numa, I'll admit) ruined this list's credibility for me.

It's probably a sad commentary on both myself and the Internet that when I read this headline, I thought, "Timothy Ferris? What does that guy know about the Hubble?" Ahh, yes, not that guy (Tim Ferriss). My mistake.

Did they give you any explanation when the game of armed freeze-tag was over, Xeni? Even if there was a valid reason (which, as a frequent traveler sick of TSA Security Theatre, I tend to doubt), it seems that they could give some explanation, however cursory ... how weird ... hope I don't encounter this one ever (especially not when I'm in a hurry, which is most times that any of us are in airports, after all).

I don't have much to add, other than an echoing of others' comments that the layout seems a little left-leaning (no pun intended), but I did want to try out the new commenting system and wish BB x.0 luck!
