Call me jealous, but the video that the co-founders of YouTube posted after announcing the $1.6 billion (in stock) buyout has a high quotient of SMUG.

When I first Borst to this video, his first comments were: "Uh, is this a parody? They come across as rather... uninspiring..."

Sadly, it is not a parody, although this video would be ripe for parody. Just imagine what they could REALLY say:

"Hi YouTube! Before jetting off to go house-hunting in the Hollywood Hills, we wanted to shoot you guys this video. It's the least we could do! We've got EXCITING news today for us! We've been ... acquired by Google! For $1.6 billion in stock (fake) money!

Yeah guys, thanks so much for uploading tons of those Numa Numa videos and tons of copyrighted content! Who knew it was worth so much! I know we had to put up a front later on to take down those Will Ferrell SNL sketches (it was so much cheaper than hiring a law firm), but it was all worth it! We got 40 million of you to sign up so you could see those "Must confirm that you are older than 18 to see video" videos that turned out to be nothing more than montages of photogalleries!

We couldn't have gotten so much content here without you guys doing all the work, and for that, we thank you.

We're committed to building you new features, which will involve us hiring super hot secretaries to take our many messages from Time and Business Week and Fortune about how we're the "Hot New Internet Kings" (at least until that Mark Zuckerberg fellow from Facebook sells his site for a few billion!).

Well anyways guys, we're going to throw in a vague P. Diddy reference to "Two Kings" that is sort of a joke, but really isn't. We really do think we're the kings of the internet; I mean, how many people can create a cutting-edge site that broadcast video over the web?! Anyway guys, thanks for all the work! We'll be sure to remember you while we're chilling on our very own Carribean island!

You just *know* those Xanga guys are angling for a buyout too... and all those wonderful video sites. Welcome to dot.com 2.0, where you build it and hope Google, Yahoo!, Fox, or Microsoft buys you!
