The Holy S#@t Andy Warhol Was Totally F*&king Right Awards, a.k.a. the YouTube Video Awards, were doled out recently to random members of the American populace who became randomly famous for a random day or two in 2007. Still, they are more meaningful than the Grammys.

The top winner was, deservedly, Tay Zonday’s addictively weird “Chocolate Rain.” Other winners included the Trials of Life-esque “Battle at Kruger” and the inexplicable “How to Solve a Rubik’s Cube (Part One).” Seriously, can someone explain to me what the hell is with the Rubik’s Cube? It defies all laws of pop culture why people care about that thing again.

“It’s the new Emmys,” Zonday, 25, said of the video-sharing site’s awards in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It’s the next Oscars. The next People’s Choice Awards. It’ll be interesting to see what happens five years, 10 years (from now).”

No offense buddy but, how about 10-15 minutes from now.

He was so popular the event organizers actually arranged for him to return the next year as a surprise for the crowd.
