YouTube Monday: Invest in a Knife!
I want to appologize for the video this week. Look, it was either this or that lame meteorite video, or the stupid Michael Jackson tribute video that’s making the rounds. And quite frankly, I don’t think I’ve been as annoyed at a YouTube video as this one in a while.
The folloing is a self-styled cell phone reviewer opening a box from Verizon’s marketing campaign to advertise the Droid phone coming out next month. Which is fine. Vaguely interesting even. But what isn’t fine? The fact that he takes THREE MINUTES TO OPEN THE BOX! There’s even an ad break in the middle of the video while he struggles with the concept of “scissors.” Maybe I’ve just opened more boxes than normal people, but it takes me about three seconds to pop one open.
I realize that he’s just filling time, probably trying to meet some quota or something for how long his video has to be, but this? Is annoying.
