Subject: Sue-related videos on Youtube?

I was just browsing Youtube and I found out that, while there are a lot of reviews, readings and videos about fandom on there, I couldn't find a good one about Sues in any fandom. Was wondering if there's a reason for this lack, or if it's just that no-one's done it?
(Or I missed it. Big site, so quite likely).
This. Just this. Seriously--I got the link for it two years ago, after wrapping up a really long multi-author story (called the Mary-Sue Experiments; it's where my main agent came from).
Anywho, the video is called "The Life of a Mary Sue" and it's basically the summary of every Harry Potter sue!bad!fic out there on the web. It's also humorous, and the funniest line is: "God, stick to CANON, please!"
Seriously, if you hate sues in HP canon, it's worth checking out.

That's an amazing song. I'm not even in the Harry Potter fandom and it's still great. I've now persuaded a (more musically talented than I) friend to figure out the chords so I can try to learn to play it myself.
Thanks!
Ah! I have seen that video, but I never watched it all the way through before. It does improve on further aquaintance, though now I have those two lines from the chorus (Harry will love you/Snape uses shampoo) stuck in my head :)
