Must Watch McCarthy Video: Priceless

[pbmax]

This is today's press conference, the announcement of Jennings prognosis. After the statement and answering a couple of questions, McCarthy catches all the reporters staring at their phones, furiously thumb typing. And the coach proves social media has penetrated the bunker (start at :50 if you are in a hurry):

Ok, that's pretty funny.

Wow do I not get the attraction of tweeting. I thought it was ridiculous when it came out, and the idea of following someone's twitter feed, following their stream of consiousnous is just a little too close to a cult of personality for me!

I just went and checked good ol' Kim K's feed. Let's see, her last few tweets were:
-Soooo proud of you @lorenridinger you are doing so amazing!
-11:11 make a wish!
-Sometimes ice cream makes it all better

That's some shit I can live without.

I can see how it works for Journalists. by the time they get our of that press conference, GJ out 2-3 weeks would have been old news.

Tweeting is the second most important invention since the internet. Except for the iphone of course. Everybody knows that. Well, they should anyhow.

/sarcasm

Listening to the key clicking is so painful I almost can't watch the videos anymore. I've never been to the twitter site, and don't have a reason to go there. God, what a waste of time.

[Guiness]

Only reason I'd been there before was for topless pictures of a near 50yr old Demi Moore

isn't bad. it was successful enough to help the author get a book deal and a sitcom on TV staring William Shatner. I can't speak for the book or the show, but the shit he posts on there is pretty funny!

I don't twitter nor am I on facebook. My life isn't that interesting to the masses...

Right. You, me everyone on this board, hell, just about everyone on the planet. Who gives a fuck if you're eating ice-cream?

It's symptomatic of the celebrity culture, rampant societal narcissism, the "oooh, look at me! I should be rewarded for existing!"/everyone is special mindset.

Twitter. Whatever.

[Fritz]

But if you can get shots of Demi Moore or maybe Kim Kardashian topless, maybe it's not all bad.

it's instant information. that's all it is to me. occasionally i'll ask a question of someone and sometimes actually get an answer. he saw those guys tweeting...that goes out right then and there to anyone following that reporter or organization.

Yeah, twitter sucks. It's horrible to find out about stuff before anyone else (not on twitter).

It's not for YOU to post that you're taking a shit. It's for you to catch up on breaking news on topics you've chosen WHILE you're taking a shit.

No one will follow you accept people you know personally -- who don't want to follow you -- but feel obligated because they know you.
It's to follow news sources, players, handicappers, funny people and the like.

You guys must have flip phones, non-HD TVs and CRT computer monitors too. Welcome to 1999.

So you wouldn't follow her in this case then.
