With kids these days going crazy over YouTube, Heavy.com, and Break.com (though not, we should note, OfficePirates.com), it was only a matter before the easily excitable cadets over at Nerve.com jumped into the mix. But don't think the coming launch of Nerve Video means more ass plowing for Fleshbot to link to.

Nerve, the preeminent multi-media company devoted to all things smart and seductive will the launch Nerve Video: the definitive source for the funniest, sexiest and smartest in online video. Enhancing its already brash and brainy original content on Nerve.com, Nerve Video will showcase original programming, rather than video that’s been spliced and diced from already existing footage.

Nope, Nerve promises original programming. Or, as we like to call it, "literary porn." The full sleaze-filled release, after the jump.

THE FUTURE OF TV: NERVE VIDEO

Three new and original series to launch

New York, NY – April 26, 2006 – Nerve, the preeminent multi-media company devoted to all things smart and seductive will the launch Nerve Video: the definitive source for the funniest, sexiest and smartest in online video. Enhancing its already brash and brainy original content on Nerve.com, Nerve Video will showcase original programming, rather than video that’s been spliced and diced from already existing footage.

Just as Nerve.com redefined boundaries in the online magazine space almost ten years ago, Nerve Video will take online videos to the next level with three original series:

ANNIE MATED

Single life in New York can be rough – but when you’re a sexy cartoon geek with a big imagination, at least it’s funny. Writer Tracy Apple and animator Dan Meth (MTV2) brings this sublimely silly series to life.

YOUNG AMERICAN BODIES

Directed by hot up-and-comer Joe Swanberg (Kissing on the Mouth, LOL), Young American Bodies is a snack-size version of his films, an episodic drama full of sex and longing.

NEAL MEDLYN’S LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE

Childhood nostalgia meets adult humor in this new series from the twisted imagination of performance artist Neal Medlyn. Must be seen to be believed.

“We’re creating our very own online television channel,” says Sam Apple, Director of Nerve Video. “Although we will include the familiar features of other video websites, such as the ability to rate and comment on videos, our programming will revolve around our original series. We’re interested in developing real shows with real characters. This is the future of TV and we’re excited to be at the forefront of the trend.”

In the next few months, Nerve Video will showcase additional new series. Viewers will also have access to the Nerve Video archive, which includes the wildly-successful and infamous videos submitted for the “John Ashcroft Video Contest”.
