Shane Dawson Parody Banned?

I may be a little late in this, but I just found out.

According to what I have seen, Shane Dawson's parody video for Blank Space has been removed from YouTube. Apparently it was removed for being too violent. Really? It was too violent? I've seen way more violent things than Shane's video on YouTube. He even mentioned in a video he posted that his YouTube channel was deleted. Could have been coincidence, who really knows. I was proud of Shane for the direction he was going with making his movie and continuing to make amazing videos on YouTube. I'm still proud of him today. He is amazing at what he does. He is extremely creative and you can see that he loves what he does, which just makes his videos better.

I, along with other fans are backing him up 100%. He shouldn't have to change something or remove it because someone doesn't like it. I don't like The Hunger Games, but I'm not going to tell them to remove it from theaters, shelves, or wherever else it is or get them to change it. It's not right. They put a lot of work and money into it and people love it. It's the same thing with Shane's video. He loves it, his fans (including me) love it. I would like to see his video back on YouTube.

He made a video talking about what had happened...



Also, many of his fans have been tweeting about it and helping spread the hashtag #ShaneDawsonSony. The hashtag is trending worldwide as well as in my tailored trends. I'm glad that Shane has such a big fan base that he can post a video and within an hour of it being on YouTube the hashtag he mentions goes viral worldwide.

I hope that Shane gets his video back up. I would hate to see hard work get wasted because 1 person doesn't like it. Even if the video is kind of irrelevant when it comes back, I would still watch it like crazy.

Also, I thought it was a little funny that a promoted tweet just happened to be Sony and right above Shane's tweet.

I know this is short but I don't want to make this a big rant. So I am just going to end with saying, support Shane and keep trending #ShaneDawsonSony. Spread the word about this. Share his video as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjjRuYIPSxw) to let people know what happened. I know he would love it if you showed your support.

Shane is an amazing person and doesn't deserve what is happening. I will always support him.

Seriously. Not A Joke.


Tonight was the livestream (and final night) for Seriously. Not A Joke. Since I couldn't make it to the show, I made sure to get a ticket to the livestream. If you are not familiar with the Tin Can Brothers then I will tell you about them...as best I can.

The Tin Can Brothers are Brian Rosenthal, Corey Lubowich & Joey Richter. Three awesome guys that work hard at what they do to make great videos. You can tell that they love what they do, by the passion they put into their videos. They have been making sketch comedy videos once a week on their YouTube channel since February 03, 2014. They made a Kickstarter for an online lemonade stand (which was successful). Yes, I was one of the backers for their Kickstarter, but if you watched the video and have been following the Tin Can Brothers since the beginning then you would have backed them as well. They also now have merchandise available at Ann Arbor Tees. The designs are really cool. I'm sure that when I order mine and where them around my town no one will understand. Though I would be more than happy to spread the word about the Tin Can Brothers around this small town here in Canada.

Anyway, back to the Tin Can Brothers. I can honestly say, out of all the comedy videos I have seen on YouTube theirs are up there with the best. I am not one of those people that sit down and watch every video on all the channels I am subscribed to. Though they are the only channel that I have managed to keep up with and watch every video. If you aren't subscribed I suggest you do that. If you love to laugh then you'll love their videos. Well, I think that's all I know what to say besides constantly telling you how amazing, genuine and hilarious they are. Though if you want to read more about them then you can read what they have as a bio on their YouTube site. Though it is different on their site www.tincanbros.com
"The Tin Can Brothers is a Los Angeles based sketch comedy group formed by Brian Rosenthal, Corey Lubowich, and Joey Richter.
Their father, Lionel Tincan, was born the son of a lowly farm hand in Mississippi, but rose to great heights during America's early industrial period. Instilled with their father's drive for greatness and sensible taste in fashion, the boys moved west at a young age to pursue their own visions of grandeur. Young Joey, the dreamer, Corey, the muscle, and Brian, the engineer, pooled their earnings from a summer carnival kissing booth in order to buy their first digital video camera; something unheard of at the turn of the century. Equipped with unimaginable technology and power the boys could have done anything. But they didn't. In fact, they did absolutely nothing. Now in 2014, with advent of much better technology, these living and breathing anachronisms have decided to dust off the old digital picture box and make some talkies."

Now let's get on with the review about the show, because that's what we're really here for.
