My co-worker got an email from one of his friends:
**
This is a great short movie of Michigan almost 60 years ago. Please
watch and then forward to anyone you think might enjoy it. You will
enjoy every bit of the film.
Movie was made in 1949 -- pre-Mackinaw bridge and I-75 days...very
interesting. Enjoy!

**
The interesting part is that I (me!) put the video on Youtube.

I like the related videos. Or more precisely I find the idea that google
thinks these videos are related quite funny.

Yeah! What's up with that??? I like sex just as much as the next guy
(maybe more), but it embarrasses me that they somehow link my video with
sex. The only possible link I can think of is that the University of
Michigan used to have this event called "The Naked Mile", where students
would run naked through the streets of Ann Arbor at the end of the school
year. Then Michigan became synonymous with "naked" in the mind of Youtube.
That's just conjecture, however.

Anything to back that up?

I think it is a bit far-fetched, but have no other explanation.
Unless this: the first three videos have an enormously larger count than
the relevant ones. If they multiply the relevance by the count almost
anything will be a match for that best sex ever video. If you get 1/500
relatedness for a poster being from Michigan compared to having Michigan
in the title, you are already there. If they do that, they have to
change it, if you ask me.

A few gigabytes on my hard drive. :-[

The "naked mile" video showed up on the related videos for a long time. It
doesn't seem to show up now, and oddly, it actually was somewhat related. I
also wondered if the fact that "sleeping" is a key word as a result of
"Sleeping Bear Dunes". Now, had I misspelled it "Sleeping Bare Dunes", I
could certainly see a connection. ;-)
