Long Version of the Brand Video

I made this video and it was way too long, so I'm uploading the full version here and then cutting it down for the Vlogbrothers. Enjoy hankschannel watchers!!!

Just to clarify something:

The UK Christmas Number 1 has *always* been the X Factor winner ever since the X Factor began. The "Rage Against X-Factor" campaign was made up by disgruntled Brits on Facebook who hated how X-Factor had "stolen" part of the UK's quirky Christmas heritage (Christmas number 1 is a BIG DEAL). So the fact that Sony's music was battling itself was kinda accidental, though obviously no bad news for Sony.

Anyways, great video Hank!!

Ah, capitalism. DFTBA in the face of hypocrisy, y'all.

@songsfrompaul Technically it did win. It was the chart topper. Just like Alex Day is trying, once again to beat The X-Factor, but this time as an unsigned person.

This... is depressing. I mean I know this stuff (not in detail, but generally), but it's still so frustrating to think that no matter what I do, at the end of it stand some big ass corporation that owns more of our daily life than we care to think about.

I like this version way better.
