Chatroulette

March 15, 2010

Late last year a seventeen-year-old high school student from Moscow launched Chatroulette, a webcam-based program that pits complete strangers together for face to face conversation. Since its inception, the Internets haven't stopped buzzing about the social camming phenomenon despite innumerable complaints regarding nudity, vulgarity and profanity associated with the site.

Never one to shy away from a fad of the Internet variety, I dusted off my webcam this evening and pulled the trigger on Chatroulette.

And this is how I fared.

  1. Can you please start another site where you just post stuff like this about chatroulette?

    Or there needs to be a site you can post these to and have people vote them up or down, sorta like a texts from last night thing.

  2. 1) That was hilarious.
    2) The guy in number 3 really does look eerily like Uncle Jesse.
    3) I apparently have no innate knowledge of how to spell the word "eerily."
    4) I kind of liked the guy from number 7. If I lived anywhere south of the snow belt, I would totally start using "weather fuck you."
    5) Did I mention that was hilarious?
