America's Soberest Home Videos
With Mormon Carnivale kicking off this weekend, you amateur videographers are probably asking, 'Gee, where can I share my special LDS videos?' " MormonWebTV, of course!

Evangelical Christians have had their own GodTube for some time and have uploaded it chock-full of faith-building films. Finally, Mormons have jumped in. Mormon Renaissance, a blog on art in the LDS culture, offers an assessment of 400 amateur videos on the LDS answer to YouTube. Several sites offer professional LDS productions, MR says:
But none of these sites has what YouTube does: the chance to post amateur videos, making MormonWebTV the current contender for hosting the growth of amateur LDS film. Given the growth of user-generated content and the enthusiasm shown by LDS filmmakers at the increasingly popular LDS Film Festival, it would be more surprising for a Mormon version of YouTube not to come into being. Enter MormonWebTV.com
OK, "Sisters Gone Wild" is too much to ask for — but how about "Conference Bloopers and Practical Jokes?"
