Have you logged onto YouTube lately? YouTube has been busy. Busy behind my back digging up dirt and sifting through my viewing history to create a little snapshot of who I am in a nutshell.
I logged on tonight to find that YouTube had made some pre-emptive suggestions of clips I might like to peruse...let's see, there was a Tripod clip, of them singing a Santa song - yes, it IS the festive season and yes, I do LOVE Tripod; then there was the Hamish and Andy comedy sketch suggestion - yes, I do enjoy the occasional Ham and Ando fix and just when I think Youtube is being a little cocky and a little flukey with its suggestions (OK, who DOESN'T like Hamish and Andy), I came across their third and final suggestion for my viewing pleasure...a baby panda cub riding on its Mummy's back. Yes, OK, I admit it. YouTube DOES know me, all too well apparently. It was scary. Like YouTube could see right inside my brain and heart.
I feel sorry for any guy who's trying to woo a girl and goes to show her "that funny clip on YouTube" he was shown at the office earlier that day only to come to the sinking realisation that his Mum must have borrowed his computer the day before when Youtube suggests he might like to watch that clip from Beaches when Bette sings "Wind beneath my wings", followed by Cher's "If I could turn back time" and Kylie's latest 'Live in concert' video. Good luck to him trying to get any.
What about the time you are showing your inlaws that video you took of your baby's first steps and Youtube suggests you might like to see the latest XXX porn video - you'll remember not to lend your laptop to Billy, the guy from next door with all the facial piercings.
So next time you're innocently surfing through YouTube, just mental note the fact that your choice will be noted, remembered and thrown back in your face, so choose wisely. :)`
