Boxxy (also known by the YouTube handle boxxybabee) is an internet meme created by a series of YouTube videos of an American girl referring to herself as Boxxy which became highly popular during January 2009.[1] Her videos have been the subject of much speculation over the reasons behind their making, given their nonsensical and hyperactive nature.[2] Topics covered in Boxxy's most famous video include her assertion that she is not on drugs, her eyeliner, two males named Steve and Brandon, a film about The Beatles, her supposed husband, and her awareness of her digression during the video.[3]

The girl known as Boxxy was a user of Gaia Online and had only uploaded three videos in total to YouTube, all in the first week of January, 2009.[when?][4] Within a week, her videos had gained over a million views, reaching two million by January 20.[4] Her YouTube channel was also the most subscribed to during January 2009.[1] On 4chan, the videos caused a great amount of strife when posts related to them became excessive on the site's /b/ imageboard, eventually leading to a DDOS attack against 4chan because of Boxxy,[5] described as a "civil war" on one of the world's biggest websites.[1] Her YouTube account was hacked, and threats of releasing her name and other personal information to the public if she made any more videos were made by the individuals who hacked into her account[who?].[2]

Hmmm. There after doing some serious number crunching it seems there is a disparity between ratings and comments. Seems that the majority of people seem to be rating 4-5 stars while the majority of the comments are just full of shit. (seriously, we sound nothing like Hugo weaving) Seems that the newfags don't know that burying the rating actually effects search results while trolling comments just makes you look like an idiot.Regards to the voice: I actually didn't do the voice, I only recorded and edited it. The person in the suit and mask is my co-worker. Originally it was just doing to be a severed head but I couldn't matte the head out very well in test footage so we said fuck it and stuff a mask on it.Many have asked so I will say here: If you want to take the audio or video and remix/splice/parody/troll it there is nothing stopping you to do so; my permission is irrelevant.P.S. When we originally planned this video it was suppose to be a joke, we'll try and push the humour more in any future videos we do.

When I stumbled across 4chan five years ago, it was garbage, and it remains, and always will be, garbage. It's the slum of the internet, and it's residents revel in it's squalor, and it is a simple concept in every sense of the term.

"Many of us are going to wake up in 2009 wondering what did we eat?  Everything from hastily assembled friends list to twitter followers to groups, apps, and widgets that we "impulse adopted" yet rarely revisited.   Some of us will join the Social Media equivalent of Weight Watchers eager to trim the excess and rediscover a modicum of "don't follow everything" discipline."

I have to love a guy who talks about a "collapse gap." He's got a blog called "ClubOrlov" at http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/, and in his intro to a guest post on December 23, he says " I called it as I saw it, and, unfortunately, I seem to have called it correctly. The US is collapsing before our eyes. Stage 1 collapse is very advanced now; stages 2 and 3 are picking up momentum."

So that leaves the Americans -- the global wealthy are clinging to 'em like a drunk to a lamppost.

I notice that John Robb, one of my favorite prophets of doom, has formed some tacit New Urbanist alliance with James Howard Kunstler, also one of my favorite prophets of doom.

The company's product: videotaped study aids with up-tempo soundtracks, flashy graphics, and undergraduate-age actors who look like they just danced out of a Gap television advertisement. Students can watch the review tapes on their VCR's. Soon the guides will also be available on DVD and over the Internet.

Other observers wonder whether the company could one day compete with colleges.

In the videos, complex concepts are explained with skits, jokes about dating and drinking, and the occasional song.

iPhoto also has three additional much needed features - Face Detection, Face Recognition, and Places - tagging faces, names, and places in iPhoto for online sharing turns into an almost completely automated process.

For the most part, presses and journals as they now exist do not serve the interests of intellectual or cultural development. To the contrary, their proliferation is symptomatic of increasing hyper-specialization in which there is more and more about less and less. This is going in the opposite direction of history, in which there is increasing interconnectedness. So my advice is to forget journals – I no longer read any academic journals and I stopped publishing in them years ago. The only function presses and journals serve is to authorize those who write for them among a dwindling group of peers. If ideas are to matter – and I believe it is crucial that they do – we must completely change the way in which they are communicated.
