The homemade contest strikes again

A Cypriot couple from London managed to boost the YouTube traffic after they posted several clips on the online video sharing service, presenting cookery techniques and multiple recipes. According to The Telegraph, the pensioners Andreas Theodoulou, 76, and his wife Christina, 69 managed to boost YouTube's traffic after one of the clips recorded 27.329 views, 60 comments and was rated as favorite for 93 times. The videos are more than simple recipes because the two pensioners are talking about politics in a funny mode.

"During one of their short films, 'Stuffed Vine Leaves', Andreas raps to music while squeezing some lemons, and takes the opportunity to land a cheeky slap on his wife's bottom as she bends to pick one up off the floor for him. When asked why he did it, Andreas replies: "My wife, my butt." His answer draws a swift response from the redoubtable Christina, who counters by kneeing her "big guy" in what she calls his "crown jewels". The films were shot and edited by their son Orthodoxos, who started making the clips because he wanted to practice his skills as a film editor," The Telegraph described one of the clips.

It's obvious YouTube is no longer an online video sharing service as more and more users are tending to use the product with a different goal than the one mentioned by Google. As you might know, YouTube's main goal was to allow users to upload clips and share them with other Internet users.

For example, numerous police officers turned to YouTube to post surveillance videos to require viewers' help and identify the suspects. Another case is even more interesting because a woman fighting against leukemia posted a clip on the online video sharing service to find a matching donor. She managed to find one in Denmark who finally managed to rescue her life.
