Given that we're in the throes of the actual internet revolution, we're celebrating the cult of Wikileaks in this latest Viral Video Chart.
<wikileakiness>Unlike the cyberwar that's raging, this track is rather mellow – a gently liberal tribute to the site that achieved more than most people could have dreamed it would, and a thank you to supporters of free speech.
"Don't stress, free the press...
The truth will come out, ready or not / Fess up to what you say
Blaming the mirror for what you see / diverts the responsibility
To stifle the leak is just doublespeak / If you claim the press is free."
For news junkies, there's a treasure trove of footage on YouTube including the Guardian's investigations editor David Leigh talking about the story, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange criticising President Obama's record on free speech and being asked how safe his anonymous sources are – and this appeal for help from anyone with the technical wherewithal to create a mirror for the WikiLeaks server.
</wikileakiness>Right – that's the end of the Wikileakiness for now. Where the funny stuff?
This digital history of the Nativity is very sweet, and though it's in Spanish. We liked watching the wise men (wot, no ladies?) buy their gifts on Amazon and then get 'people who bought myrrh also bought ... camels). Rudolph's feeling a little deflated at 7, and for 'cute' appeals we dug out some lightweight ducks.
Also ferreted out (think of it as bonus material) from bestofyoutube this week: the astonishing professional doodling, even more astonishing driving-the-wrong-way-down-the-fast-lane-of-a-motorway in China.
