Fred Makes it to Nickelodeon

Fred is the most subscribed-to channel in YouTube’s history; he tops Tubemogul’s Top 50 with over 188 MILLION views.  Last month alone, his shtick saw around 19 million sets of eyeballs.

Yeah — pretty bad — but the decision is not to be disparaged. David Sarno of the LA Times calls this move a “colossal meeting of tween titans” and, indeed, an important demographic those tweens are.  I can’t defend their collective taste, however.

I’ll save a discussion about the mind-numbing media that’s marketed to our impressionable youngsters for another outlet.
