Last night I introduced a friend to the Uruguayan YouTube phenomenon—a weekly news show entirely dedicated to events that happen to any Joe Bloggs—which has almost as many views as the country has citizens.
Yes, the population of Uruguay is just over 3 million and the show, called Tiranos Temblad, has been viewed over 2,600,000 times.
Tiranos Temblad is such an internet sensation that articles about it have even appeared in the US. The public radio station NPR featured it last year and there was a great write-up about the show and its creator Agustín Ferrando on Ozy.com in its Rising Stars section.
So I was kind of surprised that my friend Sonia, being Montevideo born-and-bred, had never heard of Tiranos Temblad and more than happy to get the show another well-deserved viewer.
Soooo… given that about 60% of Guruguay visitors currently are from Uruguay (hello, Uruguay!), if you haven’t checked out Tiranos Temblad – what are you waiting for??
And if you are from elsewhere, treat yourself to 10 minutes of the happiest news show around—direct from Uruguay.
