Viral videos, outsourced
Guest post written by Taylor Locke
I spend way more time than I’d like to admit watching funny videos online. Although I know fully well that I could be doing more worthwhile things like reading a book or balancing my checkbook, I just use my extra time to watch them.
There are way too many viral videos online to sit through and find the good ones, so I just use my direct tv internet to watch ones that my friends have e-mailed me or posted on my Facebook wall. I recently found a show called “Tosh.0” that basically does that for you and plays them on it. Sometimes even people who star in popular viral videos go on the show as guests and the host will interview them about their 15 minutes of Internet fame.
A lot of the times I’ll watch the videos over and over with my blue wireless internet after the show goes off and then forward links of them onto my friends.
But, there have been a few times that my friends have opened these links at work, which has been a little embarrassing. It’s not that these videos have bad material in them, you just don’t want your boss learning you’re watching funny videos on the clock.
