... 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. <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wUAPla4SiI8?version=3&hl=sv_SE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wUAPla4SiI8?version=3&hl=sv_SE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DVKYqtNUps0?version=3&hl=sv_SE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DVKYqtNUps0?version=3&hl=sv_SE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> Fortunately, what with the Internet being what it is, this fine tradition has spread into other areas than electronic gadgetry: <object width="480" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ezlo4qeGCYg?version=3&hl=sv_SE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ezlo4qeGCYg?version=3&hl=sv_SE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f4KvlZsRw_E?version=3&hl=sv_SE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f4KvlZsRw_E?version=3&hl=sv_SE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrHoZheC8sU?version=3&hl=sv_SE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrHoZheC8sU?version=3&hl=sv_SE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dS3zawOWdIU?version=3&hl=sv_SE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dS3zawOWdIU?version=3&hl=sv_SE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> The fuck?
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!
