Videogum has paid tribute to all of the children, kittens and foulmouthed TV news anchors who have made 2009 so memorable for Internet addicts. Without further ado, we thank you: Creepy man smoking and singing Carmina Burana in the shower; Guy who paints his face like a California raisin; Cat massage instructor (remember, "petting is just randomly petting"); bad Californian public speaker; dancing babies; more dancing babies; "Kittens inspired by Kittens;" David After Dentist - and of course, Keyboard...
