A
while ago, like a year or something, there was this Google page or whatever
that made an assumption of what your age is based on your browsing history.
According to it, I was a 63 year old lady. Probably had something to do with me
listening to oldies songs and pictures of cats. Nowadays, I don’t know what age
Google would describe me of having, but I’m guessing it’ll say I’m a 14 year
old girl with access to a Visa card.
I
remembered that fun fact recently because something has been going on in my
head. It’s something I don’t get, and I’m not sure if it’s because maybe I am
63 deep inside, or what. I’m talking about “reaction videos to…” What’s that
all about? I don’t understand how taping yourself while you’re watching another
video, mostly music videos, for the first time and then posting it on YouTube
counts as a form of entertainment. To me, that’s like the crocs of voyeurism.
I
got it when people would tape other’s reactions to “Two girls, one cup” video. I
mean that was funny as hell, especially the one of the granny who, by the way
watched it all the way through. She’s a tough one, in my book. But nowadays, you
can’t look for a video in which there isn’t a related post about someone’s
first time watching it. Who f---ing cares?
But
you know something? Maybe I’ll jump in the whole “reaction video to” bandwagon,
only I’ll take it a bit further, like maybe post videos of me reacting to:
- Reruns of Lorenzo Lamas’ Renegade.
- A documentary about how they put the plastic tip on shoelaces.
- Dave Coulier’s E! True Hollywood Story.
- A Google Maps visit to Dollywood.
- Snooki’s audio book read by Christopher Walken. (Oh, wait. That one might actually be funny.)
- A reaction video of you reacting to me reacting to you watching me react to the next music video Rebecca
Black releases. REAC-CEPTION!
