Brilliant, funny....

A good shock back to the reality of social networking and cultural development.

Good to keep boundaries in the cyber and physical world.

This is a more accurate portrait, and a great description, of why people use Twitter.
by bjoseph (+5p) | 35 months ago
Sure, it's always easy to set up a strawman and then knock it down - but don't necessarily confuse it for the real thing.

Here is why I use twitter:

lol... "this is how our generation communicates now" twits ;P
by Denica_Cassandra (+140p) | 36 months ago
haha, the video is mad funny. but for god sakes, we already have myspace and facebook, as far as i know. they're more im sure. those are lame enough.

whoever created twitter, really has no life. and it is also just plan sad that people feel that people need to know what they are doing every moment of everyday. where did privacy go? i can't believe something like that just blows up! im good with pic and text messages on my cell phone. thats enough.

How fantastic is this!!!
by Dolce (+10p) | 37 months ago
Would have been funnier if Twitter was really like that. If you follow boring people, then yes it is.
by PoisonTheMonkey (+65p) | 37 months ago
PoisonTheMonkey:
it's funny because the broad majority of people on twitter ARE like that... would anything be funny if they chose to make fun of the best examples of something?

This is just brilliant...

by jvmanna (+5p) | 37 months ago
I think twitter has peaked. Bloom is off the rose. I use to twit a lot , now it bores me to tears. Rather satanic really. worse time suck than facebook. I wish they all would go away.
by Maggiekortchmar (+50p) | 37 months ago
Funny as hell. I am starting to side with the cute brown haired guy these days. NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS! ..I gotta put this on twitter...good one current.
by Maggiekortchmar (+50p) | 37 months ago
Hilarious! The twitterspehere is scary as all hell.

by Barca_Kid (+15p) | 37 months ago
Has to be the best clip... "People you DO exist"... I'm still not sure what the deal is about... I admit I have an account, but... It just can be a bit obnoxious, and honestly if you have something worth posting it is more than likely longer than 140 characters... nonetheless I posted this on Twitter as soon as I saw it... awesome job... cheers!
by leonceo (+5p) | 37 months ago
this is so true! well done. i have a twitter but most of the people i follow have to do with news & sports.

"It seems like twittering randomly bragging about you unexceptional Life"

AMEN!!!!

This clip is proof that sharp humor is still the most effective way to cut through life's bullshit and get to basic truths.
by huntre (+95p) | 37 months ago
I cannot even begin to describe the awesomeness of this video. So funny.
by AlexinHouston (+5p) | 37 months ago
The only thing more tedious and self-indulgent than Twitter is a four-and-a-half minute cartoon about how tedious and self-indulgent Twitter is.
by bstratt (+5p) | 37 months ago
Ah, so true. I found this via Twitter. This irony is not lost on me....
by cyberpixie (+35p) | 37 months ago
ABSOLUTE GENIUS! :)

This is the best clip ever!!!!!!

Also, isn't current in a round about way not to far from the twitter concept, some responses are meaningful, sincere and intelligently purposeful; others are just there to be heard and seen. The majority of the population does not surround their lives with the information and concepts being presented by this outlet but for those of us who care and are dedicating our lives for the betterment of the globe on multiple levels don't need this. I'm losing faith in you Current. Please don't think we are stupid, your original target audience will not put up with another Jon Stewart humor hour when the issues we are fighting and the problems our culture has created are serious. We need progress not a regress to the same shit we see day in and day out. Humor sells, but humor doesn't save lives or fight real oppression.
by luvladyday (+30p) | 37 months ago
I found this to be insanely lulzy.
by Newtown (+35p) | 37 months ago
This is irrelevant but ENOUGH WITH FUCKING McDONALD'S ADVERTISEMENTS! Current please don't loose all credibility by inundating us with commercials and advertisements. Its time to figure out a new way to finance your company.
by luvladyday (+30p) | 37 months ago
luvladyday:
I agree, I posted this so the community could speak their piece, feel free to go rant on it!
by DeliaTheArtist (+195p) | 37 months ago
hhahahahaa lmao that wat twitter became now unfortunately, but great video
by gigi321 (+5p) | 37 months ago
thank god i'm not the only one who sees how stoooopid this damn twitter thing is. i don't know how the hell they are making money and why people are so into twitter!

i got an account for my business because i felt like if i didn't the rest of the world would think me NOT cool and shun me from hospitals, babies nurseries, churches and the petting zoo. i didn't want to risk it so i got a twitter account.

no that twittering has been called out for what it is... the mindless, brain numbing, necrotic, sticky mess under my ball sack... i feel much better.

anyone want to tweet?

go F yourself
by mindcontrol (+25p) | 37 months ago

A lot of people use twitter as a networking and business tool. It's all in how you use it.
by DeliaTheArtist (+195p) | 37 months ago
I tweeted the link ;-) That video was hilarious!!!
by SpicyMyshell (+5p) | 37 months ago
Congrats to Josh, the twitter-lebrity! We're talking to no one and every one. Why does he speak what he twitters? Maybe we will actually understand the psychology of twitter by watching this show. Let's all shout into the darkness because we are all alone with no friends, because we are all disconnected. Boo-hoo... The kids are going to love this. Good luck Josh,
