Time Waster Battle Royale: Grey's Anatomy vs. The Evolution of Dance
Andrew Careaga points to Wired's Monkey Bites blog's calculation of time spent (wasted?) watching some of YouTube's most popular videos:
Wired?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Monkey Bites blog calculates how many years have been wasted watching the following five YouTube posts:
14.26 years watching geriatric1927.
14.75 years watching lonelygirl15.
17.71 years watching ?¢‚Ǩ?ìReal Life Simpsons Intro.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
93.31 years watching funtwo shred on the guitar.
378.99 years watching Evolution of Dance, YouTube?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s most-viewed video.
To put things in perspective, according to Nielsen, Grey's Anatomy has 25.405 million viewers. The show is an hour long, so
each week Grey's Anatomy manages to waste 2900 years. More than 7 times Evolution of Dance's all-time performance is wasted every week!
Personally, I'd rather watch Evolution of Dance ten times than one episode of Grey's.
Thanks, Kenneth.
