I think I am totally FREAKED out by Shuffle People! Have you tried this thing called Chat Roulette? I heard about it on the news and there are some funny Youtube posts about it, so I had to give it a try and see what the fuss was about.
In the first five minutes, as I shuffled through several people staring at me from dark rooms, I must have seen at least seven penises! Floppy ones, hard ones, big ones and little ones, all close up and central to the camera. The interesting thing is you don’t just get video. Audio is exchanged as well, so if one wanted to, you could shuffle along, shouting out scores. “TEN! Two. Ohhh definitely a one.” Of course, I didn’t do that. I politely shuffled to the next person, always wondering if it would be someone wearing clothes.
Most often, the people I saw in the brief minutes I could stand the experience, looked like shy teenage boys, the type who would have a hard time talking to anyone face to face.
I’ve spent some time in chat rooms before and I have no doubt. I much prefer chatting with only the written word than seeing so many faces … and penises.
