Leo DiCaprio gives some love to YouTube froggy style

3:58 PM, December 31, 2008

Frog raceLeonardo DiCaprio, who is starring in Sam Mendes’ adaptation of the classic Richard Yates novel "Revolutionary Road," gave popular video-sharing site YouTube some love in the December issue of GQ.

"How great is YouTube?" he asked rhetorically. "Endless entertainment. Endless! Every day. What the hell? You can type in anything, like 'frogs getting laid,' and they have, like 70 clips. It's fabulous."

The shout out (not the amphibian mating reference) made our favorite YouTuber Hunter Walk blush -- and quibble just a little.

"I admit we really don't have great results for the query, 'frogs getting laid,'" blogged Walk, a director of product management.

Something to do with that new spic-'n'-span no-pornography policy, perhaps? Maybe there's a Wild Kingdom exemption. So get busy, Kermit.
