Lost LeBlanc featured the most beautiful spots in the Philippines.  This video was reacted to by a lot on Youtube. Well, can you blame them? Take a look. 'Reaction' is, by far, a favorite YouTube format.  It is a video that shows the reaction of a host while watching a video of practically anything -- songs, dances, trailers, commercials and more!  To add to the 'reactions', you will find the Mukbang Challenge.  Mukbang is a Korean term; it is broadcast eating of hefty servings.  The challenges range from yum to crazy eats.  The other day I watched a number of YouTubers trying to do the Korean Nuclear Noodle challenge.  Yuka (Japan) has been doing it for years.

Kelly Anne Conway may have incepted the phrase "alternative facts" which floated online. Some John Doe may have used it somewhere sometime but this influential woman helped win a presidency.  The alternative facts became a seemingly smart stance to factualize opinions. Just how much alternative facts do you tolerate? Bill Maher guested Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy) in his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher. They touched on subject about facts and opinions.  I first thought that it was just metaphoric when one of the guests mentioned about an athlete who still believes that the world is flat.  Fact or an alternative information? Any individual is entitled to build perspective about matters.
