Get that image out of my head! - or the Age of the Bizzare

blogosphere_world_of_ass_obscurity

With the Web and eMail revolution our life’s got suddenly flooded with bizarre, cute or funny pictures. Then we added broadband DSL a few years later and we got even more picture and additionally videos.

Weird and bizarre stuff was before that time pushed into the funny section of your newspaper or made it sometimes on the TV news when nothing else was important.

Today we seem flooded and addicted to the bizarre and weird moments on this planet. The more bizarre the better. YouTube and many image galleries are monuments to the stupidity and addiction of humanity to weird stuff.

I think we like to watch extreme stuff other do (to themselves) to reassure ourselves what is normal and that we ourselves are normal. Each bizarre image or video is a marker on the scale of human madness - and we constantly check where we stand on that range of weirdness.

So it all basically boils down to checking your own social conformity and some amusement. Would you do that? Did you laugh about that? No? Yes? Check your own weirdo factor …
