Youtube thread

I just did a presentation today about McLuhan's hot and cool media and showed this video to illustrate the coolness of internet forum communities. Unfortunately, I don't think most people in the class really 'got it' (I wasn't expecting them too) so it kind of flopped. I am not saying it is the most hilarious video of all time but I think if one is familiar with ridiculousness of some forum communities that this video is at the very least somewhat amusing.

There is a short film called The Parlor with a similar concept except focusing on chat rooms rather than forums. It be here:

That was creepy as hell. Also, was that the Diabeetus guy?

It's nice to know that I am not crazy. I swear I just got blank stares when I showed it in class. Even the prof (who is relatively young) didn't seem to get it.
