David After Dentist, the Youtube sensation that got 3 million hits in 4 days, made his family $150,000 since January, 2009. Through licensing deals and t-shirt sales, little drugged up David covered about a semester of college for himself (given inflation). It seems it was mostly by accident, as the family originally intended to share the video with only their friends and family, but due to a Youtube limitation, made it public instead.

I think this is a great story, and congratulations to David and his family. On the other hand, if this means everyone is going to start posting their children doing stupid crap on Youtube, this couldn’t be worse news. I can already hear housewives in Oklahoma sitting their kids in front of a video camera, gently poking them and handing them random objects so their adorable little children can say something stupid that fits on a t-shirt. Or maybe they’re handing them teddy bears dipped in chloroform. I mean, $150,000 is a lot of money. It might be worth it.

Personally, I think someone should pay this cat $150,000. For my money, I’d rather watch animals do stupid things than kids do stupid things any day of the week.
