A Swedish Youtube star famous for playing and filming video games that he plays decided to take the infamous DOD Cyber Awareness Challenge. The results were pretty funny:
Popular YouTuber PewDiePie laughs during his encounter with Tina as he takes the Cyber Awareness Challenge.
PewDiePie, a Swedish YouTuber with 65 million subscribers who is best known for sharing videos of himself playing video games, just took the Cyber Awareness Challenge.
In a 25-minute video posted to the video-sharing site Thursday, he takes an unclassified version of the infamous Department of Defense computer security training. The video has already been viewed upwards of 1.6 million times.
“Who would make something like this?” he asks early in the process. [Stars & Stripes]

A few years ago I read somewhere about this guy being the most famous Youtuber ever … so I went to his channel and watched one of his videos. After a couple of minutes, I figured I must have picked a dud and clicked on another video … but after a couple more minutes of watching … I was sitting there scratching my head wondering how the hell did this guy become so popular? Since then, I might have gone back once or twice and watched a few more minutes… but have yet to see anything that changes my mind.

His schtick is playing and commenting on computer games. Apparently, there are 65 million other people out there who are hooked on games and his brand of yuks.
Lost generation.

I’m quite positive that the videos that I watched we’re not related to computer games. He was just talking about whatever … seems that I recall it was some pissing and moaning about YouTube policies.

I for one am glad, someone else has suffered through the Cyber Awareness Challenge, now I know for sure someone did.

Pewdiepie was most popular with younger kids I think. Mine watched him when they were pretty young…the only reason I’d ever heard of him. South Park did an episode with him that kind of exaggerated the point http://southpark.cc.com/clips/nzgmic/pewdiepie

Hate taking that training. Not the worst I have to endure but close.
