I wasn't clear in my statement, that's very true. The statement was really aimed at the other viewers except for the last one in which I was asking if you really thought it was criticism. I'm glad that you don't. Perhaps your humor is too subtle for me. I'll watch more of your vids. Thanks.
As renneto has made abundantly clear in his other vids, they are satires/parodies and not to be taken seriously. I meen really, "it's been a pressure to be here?" lighten up. Don't tell me you thought that was real criticism, ZA.

Awww,Zen,i've gotta disagree with ya here.We've gotta run these celebs off!I'm with Pastor Walter Paul!We've gotta run em off!We've gotta keep things pure!
Well, ZenArcher's pretty nice to play the game with renetto and be silenced, at least in words. Fun interchange between these two.
On a business note, I'm enjoying watching their subscriptions, views, and fame grow with each cross-promotion. We're smart to subscribe to them and learn from their greatness! They're awesome to try to share their wisdom with us.
i was already subscribed to renetto. i think i will join your list too now. you guys are great. perhaps this is a ploy on paul's part with you guys to try and promote his favorite youtubers, not saying you aren't popular enough already but yeah. more subscribers doesnt hurt :) anyways look forward to seeing more of your stuff.
nice one, I know he meant it as a joke but jokes are supposed to be funny and some people will take it the wrong way and start really attacking people.
ZenArcher for God's sake put a shirt on! You perv. But hey, loved the response...actions speak louder than words. Great response but I'm still in agreement with Renetto.
Hah. I like how people took what he was saying like he ACTUALLY meant it. "How dare you post a message of inclusion?!" That REEKS of colbert-esqe humor. Epsecially coming from a faux-christian minister. Good to see Zen took it the right way. Right?
I knew it was humour from the get go! Renetto is a buisness man. He knows the outcome of going up against popularity. I actually sensed he was trying to attract Paris. It's like telling a kid it can't have a product to inttrigue its' simple mind. I bet the sales of his lawn chairs whent up atleast 5% after he revealed his identity.
Somehow I knew, as soon as I saw Renetto's video (which I think is one of his funniest yet, btw), that if anyone was going to get the joke, it'd be Zen.
Nice pipe - looks like you've found the secret to quitting cigarettes...
I'm kind of with thedispatcher... on the other hand, I could barely understand what renetto was even saying most of the time -religious or even religious sounding rhetoric is always wasted on me, and he may need to be shot. -Soul Object
Awww, I think everyone is failing to realize the mockery of it all. Renetto is actually brilliant and too bad people fail to get his humor. I don't think he's making fun of you or attacking you personally. It's a char that he's doing. :) This is my first time seeing your videos but i was entertained so I'm subscribing. :)
... videos on YouTube, and that money's got to come from somewhere. They can't just pull it out of thin air. But part of what makes YouTube so special is that anyone ... ANYONE! ... can come on YouTube and post videos and potentially get seen by millions of people.
I must say I too was entertained by Mr. Renetto's character. But in all seriousness, we need to really think about this. What is the purpose of YouTube? And more importantly, what is the future of YouTube and how can it be sustained? It costs money for the bandwidth to host ...
well ad banners on top and the sides and movie ads on the side of the feature page.youtube inked a deal with nbc.youtube will not have a problem sustaining.
Abraham Lincoln also said: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. 'nuff said.
I can't believe renetto said that! But unfortunately he did. Little does renetto know, me and three of my friends just unsubscribed from HIM. You Zen (and Blunty) are my all time favs here on YouTube. Looking forward to your next vid. ;-)
I really despair for some of the people who just dont get it, Renetto was playing a character, he has been described in other parts of the net as a Youtube evangelist he just took this on board and played a character. there was no malicious intent on his part,Jesus wept.
Even though I watch some of renetto's videos I really thought it was uncalled for when he said to unsubscribe to you, even if it was a joke or not, either way theres no need for that. :|
message. meta-message. meta-meta-message. this is really getting confusing. Does it highlight how most of the messages we receive in these little 3 minutes views must be pretty much mostly made up in our own heads? How well can we really judge what a message says from such snippets. Few of us actually know each other, so there's bound to be lots of imagination invovled - let alone misinterpretation... But I'll off my soap box now.
No! I don't think we're supposed to "get it". I think Renetto is trying to stimulate us to use that 3 lbs of gray matter up there and _think_ about the future of YouTube. What do we want for this community?
Renetto's character is a parody of a hypocritical preacher. Thus I took his message to be that all the people saying YouTube should exclude celebrities are dumb. YouTube should be an inclusionary meritocracy. And that's why he pointed to ZenArcher a an example.
As long as Warner Bros and Paris are paying YouTube's bills, I welcome them. Better them than me...I don't want to have to pay to upload video or be a member of YouTube. No one's forcing anyone to watch them.
