Not all of the top or best videos of 2007 are necessarily found on YouTube. Afterall, there are many lesser-known websites that feature interesting and original homemade (or not) videos, like today's host - Crackle.

In this next installment of the Monkey's Favorite Videos of 2007, fashion is taken to a new low (or just a new level) in this amateur video production featuring a "trailer park fashion show".

There's no Armani or Versace here, just good ole homegrown fashion fun.

Can you stare at someone for an extended period of time without flinching?

It's called a stare-down. Millions have tried it; few can make past a couple of minutes.

How long have you gone?

If you a stare-down professional, you may be able to make a living at it. No kidding.

Why you would want to make a living at it is a whole other story.

But each year, dozens of stare-down events take place throughout the world. (Paris Hilton should host the next one.)

The event has become so popular it is now considered a sport (see the embedded video below) by many participants and fans.

A couple of years ago film maker J.R. McCord followed Philip Rockhammer in his quest to become the NASP national champion.

When the Unflinching Triumph documentary debuted on the Internet last year, the Wall Street Journal called it one of the most worth online films to watch.
