Psy's 'Gangnam Style' sequel, 'Gentleman M/V,' hits YouTube
The follow-up to the most popular YouTube video ever has arrived, and there's not a horse in sight.
- Ed was a member of the CNET crew that won a National Magazine Award from the American Society of Magazine Editors for general excellence online. He's also edited pieces that've nabbed prizes from the Society of Professional Journalists and others.
Psy's follow-up vid to the hyper-uber-gigantic "Gangnam Style" landed on YouTube today, and as of this writing it's garnered only a paltry 7 million viewings or so, with about 350,000 thumbs up and 38,000 thumbs down.
It's tough being an international sensation.
Of course, it's impossible to know if "Gentleman M/V" will top its predecessor's more than 1.5 billion views -- the most ever on YouTube -- but something tells us the preadolescent crowd will find one or two things to love here (things we're too polite to mention in mixed company), and that the pubescent male contingent will probably approve as well.
And, hey, perhaps even those who remember MC Hammer and the days before YouTube will be won over by Psy's continuing zany elasticity.
Besides, whose curiosity won't cause him or her to watch at least the first few seconds? Here's your chance. See if you make it all the way through.
