Take180

If you haven't noticed on my sidebar yet, I have a list of my ten favorite websites (currently, not permanently). One of them is Take180. If you haven't heard of Take180 or even seen one of the group's videos, then you are missing out on an excellent source of entertainment. Take180 is a web television company owned by Disney and it makes many videos and web shows geared toward teens. For example, Take180 spoofs many aspects of teen pop culture in their show, Electric Spoofaloo. The video below is one of their most famous videos and incidentally, the same video that first introduced me to their website.

An interesting element of Take180 is that the creators get input for their videos and shows from the members. If you are a part of Take180, then you can comment on videos (which provides feedback for the actors, directors, and writers), submit ideas, or even appear in an episode. Each video runs 180 seconds or less (hence the name of the group).

Currently, they have one web show besides Electric Spoofaloo that is being updated. It's called I <3 Vampires and is partially based on the Twilight Saga and fandom. I am not a fan of the Twilight Saga myself, but I enjoy watching this show because it shows the dark and dangerous side of vampires and it incorporates the viewers' ideas.

I hope you enjoy watching the Harry Potter spoof video! If Take180 sounds interesting to you, then I highly recommend joining the website.

I'm on my computer at work right now which unfortunately doesn't have a speaker... so I can't watch that video. But I should be able to check it out sometime on my home computer :)
I also looked at Take 180, and once again I can't watch the videos on this computer but I'll look sometime. It looks funny :)

And a heads up: The link for Take180 on your sidebar isn't quite right... it goes to http://www.blogger.com/http//www.take180.com which doesn't work, obviously. Might be because that second part is missing the colon between http and //. Either way you should fix it :)

The video is very funny, so I hope you like seeing it when you get to a computer with sound. Take180 is one of my personal "Best of the Web" websites. I fixed up that glitch, so thanks for pointing it out.
