LoadingReadyRun: Socially Awkward

[Saltyk]

Okay, my first thought when I saw Graham was that he was playing Vampirefreaks. I was kinda disappointed that he was Myspace.

Also, this video explains why I don't use those sites. I waste enough time on my computer as it is.

Now, to go read today's Cracked articles.

*insert obnoxious, entitled ranting and bitching about the late update of free, high quality content*

Sorry to hear you guys had trouble, oddly enough I first became aware of it via Susan Arendt's twitter. Horrible day at the office, anyone?

Anyway, that was fantastic- possibly one of my new favourites, and I certainly don't say that lightly!
I wonder who that poor useless site that James was lambasting was....

The writing was A-one and I really hope you get that dude back!
Loved everyone in it.

The twitter stinger was deliciously succinct

Why DOES Orkut still exist?

Wikipedia says it's big in India and Brazil for some reason.

Hmm, none of the social sites are female? That seems wrong.

Nor are any of the LRR cast.

NOT ONE

None of the social sites were females because they were all supposed to sound like stalker-y ex-boyfriends.

 

[andersgeek]

Excellent writing! So good.

Hmm, none of the social sites are female? That seems wrong.

We were going for a "websites as skeezy boyfriends" theme, and introducing a former lesbian lover (while something we considered!) would have complicated the joke, not added to it.

Oh, no. Kathleen sat on the cat! O_O

 

[Seamus8]

Complicated the joke for sure, but definitely drove home the "website i only used once in college out of curiosity" thing.

 

[milow]

I enjoyed the humor and commentary. Of course, I had to share this on social media too.

 

[Telperion]

That warranted a chuckled or two. Nice

Personally, if I post something on the web, I realize that it is now public information. If you try to channel information to only certain groups of friends, you are just deluding yourself and setting up for unpleasant surprises in the future. Naturally, Facebook is the social network for me.

You probably already thought of this, but I think something that might have worked is using one of those early teen-based networking sites calling constantly with Kathleen saying they were just both "experimenting" (I say teen-based because it could be like those sleep-away camp stories)

VIDEO IS LATE. Video is worth it. No problems, LRR.

Does Google+ really do that? Well crap. I gotta watch myself. What site was the guy at the end?

I like you. You have the ability to twist quotes and make them amazing. In my perfect world, you would get to live.

 

[Don Reba]

That was Orkut ? also owned by Google and popular in Brazil.

 

[SensibleCrout]

Awesome Episode. Especially liked Twitter.

I hoped for 4chan in the da capo. That'd be a naked guy in a trenchcoat heavily breathing on the phone over the sound of a revving chainsaw.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

See, some of us anti-social people without public social networking profiles are happy because we don't have to deal with this sh-t.

 

[ProjectTrinity]

Actually, yes. This is just winning in every sense of the word. <3

 

[PayneTrayne]

Video created great many lulz. As someone who uses social networking sites and only recently read the Privacy Policy for Facebook I can safely say I wish it was Jer hounding me about things instead of drunken photos that are so hard to delete.
