Watch the top videos on YouTube exactly a decade ago

Bennett Feely created YouTube Decade, a website that shows the top videos at YouTube from exactly 10 years ago.

I was expecting it to be a bunch of happy-go-lucky kitteh videos and blithely optimistic first-gen YouTubers, but as it happens the top videos 10 years ago were a parody of Baz Luhrmann's Sunscreen Song, part 10 of 13 of Cecil B. De Mille's 1949 production of Samson and Delilah, a Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica promo spot, the Top 50 industrial accidents, and a small dog humping a large cat.

If you'd hit it yesterday, you'd have gotten one of the first 10 million-view conspiracy theorist rants about Barack Obama. So you can embark upon your week safe in the knowledge that everything has always been completely horrible!
