House of Lords reaching out to young with YouTube

It may not challenge the new Indiana Jones or "Sex and the City" movies, but Britain's House of Lords is debuting five new YouTube videos Friday in hopes of updating its image as a sleepy haven for elderly, affluent gentlemen. [via Associated Press]

"The short, informal videos will air on YouTube's Parliament channel, which has been offering virtual tours of the Parliament building. The new videos try to soften the upper house by making it more accessible to youthful viewers, said Baroness Hayman, the Lord Speaker."
