Evolution and Flashback: Chat Roulette

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Down in the lowest depths of the internet lies a place called Chat Roulette.

This morning I was shown penises, called a nigger, asked to show my tits and chatted with some complete strangers from different parts of the world. thank you, chatroulette.com.

Basically, it’s a videochat website that pairs you up with random people. you can click next whenever you want to see the next person. you never know what you might run into. I take that back. you will, without a doubt, come across some creeps. Think about your typical inmature, ignorant youtube comment coming to life and and talking to you. Then, maybe you’ll have an idea of what I’m talking about.

I don’t know what to think of the internet’s newest viral sensation, but I know that once I signed off to hop into the shower, I was eager to see what would happen when I got back on. no, I am not a masochist…I don’t think. I could only take so much of it, as I began to feel unclean in some way. the site creates a new, strange sense of voyeurism that began making me uncomfortable. Perhaps I didn’t like what I saw when given a glimpse into the collective mind of cyberspace. even so, I can’t promise I won’t return to the site out of boredom. It’s kinda like the feeling I get every time I watch a Vh1 reality show (yes, it’s been more than once, a lot more).

As awful as this sounds, I’m sure a few of you are still a little curious. If so, it’s ok, you don’t have to tell anyone. Click here if you must: chatroulette.com you were warned.
