Some things just write themselves. This Canoe article looks like it came right from the pages of The Onion. A Dunkin Donuts worker clocks a guy robbing the store with a coffee mug because he was worried he might look like a dork on Youtube if he didn’t.
“There are only a few videos like that on YouTube now, so mine’s going to be the best,” he said. “That’ll teach this guy.”
It’s interesting how this connected world of ever increasing surveillance is changing our behaviour, even in times of stress. I can’t honestly say I would be all that worried about Youtube myself. Maybe I’m just an old fart?
