This exercise was old hat for me, cause I love finding weird and random stuff on YouTube. It's probably one of the driving forces behind the spread of current pop culture as well as the cross-introduction of arts and culture between us (Americans) and the rest of the world (videos from China, India, Turkey, etc.)
The downside about some of the videos (not necessarily YouTube itself) is the issue of copyrights. Anyone can post anything, but sometimes the big-corporate-copyright-holders don't like that someone is posting a music video or song without their permission so they have the video pulled, or the song has to be different which means the lyrics and images don't match up. All in all, in some instances, just frustrating for all involved.
Another aspect that I like about YouTube is that there are more and more instructional how-to channels and videos which I think could be really helpful for patrons. Not sure how to make a basic bookshelf or how to arrange flowers? There most likely is a video out there to show you how. (It is a common held belief that whenever a question or idea is voiced in the real world, there usually is already a site that exists about it)
Anyway, I chose this video because it was well done and a fascinating topic, especially since I don't have much exposure to Jewish culture and I had no idea Barbie was Jewish:
