Now don't get me wrong - I think the tweets are funny, and I can see them adapted to a TV show very easily (and one I would most likely watch, too), but my discontent basically comes from the fact that we are now being manipulated so much by things claiming to be something innocent (ie an amateur broadcast/tweet/etc) when in fact they're trying to make us watch something - why the masquerade? If they said - "here's some clips / dialogue from the upcoming show '**** my dad says'" I'd still find it just as funny. (case in point - Balloon Boy being an attempt to get that family on
another reality show or that girl who did the youtube blogs and everyone was really entranced by her, and it turned out she was a NZ actress and it was all scripted - I've forgotten her name already, so that one didn't work.)
That's assuming that this
was a pre-show campaign, which there's no proof of as yet. So I'll hop off my vegemite crate for now.
BTW: I'm working on a YouTube cooking channel for myself, so watch this space. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
