Feb. 2012: With great sadness I have to say to my subscribers: This channel, as you know it, will soon no longer exist. The design change Youtube is forcing on me will result in a less friendly, less useful and less beautiful channel. There are no two ways about it. I hope to remain here, but I am considering moving my work to a friendlier site. In the meantime, join me in protesting the layout change. Go to the Youtube Creators blog and register your opinion. If I move my work I will send a message first to all subscribers.
Dec. 2011 and we're still hear lorl. So you may notice some changes like a lot of videos of captive children and rapist dogs and such standard fare of American domestic life. And a lot of ads. Well see we never got a dime anything we did over here in the past because our videos are collages and we borrow (steal) freely to make our peculiar art. Ads started with the deal YT made with the record companies. Fine. At least it allowed us to use their material again. Then YT began bugging me to sign up for revenue sharing, but whenever I tried I'd be rejected. Finally I was accepted under a program that looks at each video, so I have submitted only the ones that are home videos. That means if you click on the ads on my Rihanna Feat. Kim Jong Il video, her record company will make some money, while if you click on an ad on one of our "home videos" those captive children and that angry dog make money. Just so you know.
Beyond all that, look for a new series of original animations, and some new music videos as well. And a few dogs raping bears.

UPDATE: PAPAKILATUBE IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION!!!
THIS CHANNEL IS UNDER ATTACK!
It was suspended in December but I got it back through DMCA counternotifications. Now the folks from BARNEY (Hit Entertainment) are trying to shut it down again.
Watch the BANNED VIDEO (Barney - Straight Outta Compton) here:

Help save this channel. Write to Youtube by snailmail or write to Hit Entertainment and tell them to leave Papakilatube alone. Thanks everybody. Your support is the reason I'm still here.
Arising from the refuse heaps of the digital cutting room floor, it's...PAPAKILATUBE.
This channel was set up by a guy and his kids for fun. Then it got serious, and they were sold into slavery and are presently building Youtube channels by hand in a basement factory in Thailand. It is kept alive in their honor, and every once in a while we come across something in the vaults and put it up.
We may have to gradually move the site to Vimeo because Youtube keeps coming after us with bogus objections to our commercialization of this unfortunate family's dubious "art".
