Ask a Gay Man

The Internet Celebrity
Video blogs have created internet celebrates, some of which have been highlighted in Time magazine's article Person of the Year: You. Some bloggers discuss interesting and profound topics to capture an audiences attention, some use humor. However, all bloggers have a similar goal: to get their message out. One of my favorites is William Sledd aka the host of Ask a Gay Man. His goal is to rid the world of bad fashion and at the same time he has become a internet celebrity. His show is set up like a talk show; however instead of a huge studio with expensive lights, cameras, and guest stars, Ask a Gay Man is done inside a bedroom. Yet, both a tv talkshow and Sledd's have the same entertainment value and is broadcast to a huge potential audience. Sledd's instant stardom brought him out of the YouTube format and onto the old medias, he can be found as a guest host on The View and a guest writer for Elle magazine, he also has his own website. The video above is from his denim edition, which currently has three million views.

Oh man! That guy is hilarious, I love his fashion victim episode. But he isn't my favorite, Liam is! His youtube username is liamkylesullivan, look up Kelley likes shoes. He is so funny, he is even going to be on a VH1 show called I Hate My 30's!
