The
comings and goings of another person’s life used
to be a mystery. With video proliferation and the Internet,
the ability to plug the world into your reality is now
at your fingertips. Whether it’s grandma in the
dunk tank at the county fair, or your impromptu karaoke
jam session, all the world is a stage. Thanks to “You
Boob!”, now you can exhibit private moments of buffoonery
to almost anyone.
Production values, scripts and forethoughts are a thing
of the past. Our reclusive and voyeuristic tendencies
have created a sub culture of people who find excitement
in off-the-cuff hilarity of this new "reality"
television.
Not exclusively reserved for the bored, parents take advantage
of You Boob!’s child ranking system. Families can
easily share video with aunts, uncles, and other friendly
relations. These videos are organized by popularity and
displayed in the ‘Greatest Child’ gallery.
Parents compete vigorously to have their child hold this
top spot. Dallas native, Jerll Tinder, recently came to
public attention when he paid $2500 dollars to have the
video of his daughter’s trombone recital be the
‘Greatest Child’ clip for three days.
The video, a 15 minute epic of “You Are My Sunshine”,
“What If God Was One of Us?” and "Amazing
Grace", is raw footage shot on grainy SVHS tape and
suffers from noticeable frame jittering, and audience
chatter. Despite these facts the video has received 447,000
hits in the past two days alone.
Let other people be the judge of how interesting your
life is, shoulder a camera, parrot shaped or otherwise,
and create your own Truman Show! Someone is bound to find
it interesting.
