Fred’s YouTube channel is programming for kids by kids

June 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

LA Times Blogger David Sarno discovers online sensation Fred, here:

Last week, someone in the online video business gave me a simple tip.

“Fred,” the guy said.

“Fred?” I said.

“Yes,” he said. “Kids love Fred.”

I had not heard of Fred, much less known that kids loved him. But that would swiftly end. As soon as I could, I searched for Fred on YouTube and found his video channel. There were plenty of videos, and I hunkered down to watch.

A warning before I continue: Fred is for immature audiences only. The following article may contain themes and language that are unsuitable for anyone over 16.
“Yes,” he said. “Kids love Fred.”

    I’m betting that “Fred” is not produced by “Fred” and that it’s a clever ploy. All shall be revealed LonelyGirl15 style, I bet.
