    ... what the fuck are the kids up to these days? I just noticed this weird habit of making Youtube videos where people unbox all the stupid shit they buy.

    Apparently, it started out as some kind of electronics porn.

    Fortunately, what with the Internet being what it is, this fine tradition has spread into other areas than electronic gadgetry:

    You're just a few short posts away from the phpBB-based equivalent of telling kids to get off your lawn DE.

    Damn, if I had a YouTube account I would definitely post up a video of me unpacking spoons or something. I guess I could make an account now, make a quick video, and then post it up for the delicious irony - but that would mean moving from the couch.

    I have some toothbrush heads coming to me in the mail shortly. You have 4-7 days to prepare yourselves!
