The above video contains NSFW language so you might want to use headphones. The viral marketing team for the new film The Last Exorcism have decided to use good ol’ Chat Roulette as one of their outlets. Watch the video for reactions. Oh teenage boys… guess they’re getting what they deserve for creeping on girls.

In Seattle news…

Lady Gaga will be here TONIGHT. I’m sure the show will be a life-changing event for fans. However, the organizers have sent out a press release regarding costumes. You are welcome to dress up, but you must not have anything that looks like a weapon even if it is part of the costume. If you would like to use aluminum cans, they must be empty. Sounds simple enough. [Source]

Local Roulette

The creators of Chat Roulette have now brought to the table Local Roulette. Now you can converse with people in your own state and have more things to talk about. Their feedback probably showed that it was getting quite difficult to chat with people when there is a language barrier involved. Maybe even take them out to a roulette casino? That might do the trick!

Here’s hoping to viewing less body parts!

I think right now the website is still in beta mode because when I clicked the link there were only 3 users online. Lame.

Piano Chat Improv Merton vs Ben Folds

I keep hearing all of these stories about how people have had celebrity encounters on Chat Roulette. I’m determined to have one. How hard can it be? Pretty difficult since the whole thing is at random. If I don’t run into a celebrity can I chat with Piano Chat Improv Merton?

So while everyone thought Merton was Ben Folds, it was not.

But this is:

Chat Roulette

(Look Ashton does it too!)

Good evening everyone!! I was recently taking some time off from my computer lately so that’s why posts have been scarce, but I’m back! Fashion posts… still coming don’t you worry haha

Tonight, I was with my friends when we decided to test out Chat Roulette. I’ve been hearing lots of stories on it recently, but didn’t really get all the hype. It basically is a website where you hook up your web cam and you click a button and at random you will be given a person to video chat with. You can either continue talking to them or click “Next.” I know, so powerful right?

After nearly fifteen minutes of Chat Roulette, we met a couple from Portland State University, a man in a mask, creepy older men, and definitely things that you should not be seeing from a stranger over a web cam. My overall thoughts? I don’t think I will have the urge to ever do this again. I understand why people may find this entertaining, but it can also be dangerous and I do not think that people under the age of 18 should be using it especially with the content that is being streamed over the internet through this. Ultimately, I do not think this is a good idea and I can see a lot more bad than good coming from this type of activity. Remember when parents told their kids to never chat w/ strangers online? Video chat kind of ups the stakes a bit.
