Tuba Gooding Jr is an iChat autoresponder for YouTube links.

It finds youtube links in an incoming IM and responds with a random comment from the video page for faux relevance.

The FDM Crew for inspiration and testing. Z (who came up with the excellent name), Joe, Sonyl, and Jack.

I should also mention I have ZERO experience with AppleScript before this, and coded the whole thing in ~45 mins. In other words, don't expect the code to be perfect ;)
