Bottom of the Barrel

A site dedicated to showing YouTube videos that haven't been viewed by anyone (at least, when the blogger finds them). Many have already been removed by their owners (probably aghast at the views and comments they've received), but it's an interesting look into the banality of (mostly) tweens on the interenet. See for yourself at Zero Views.
