Unlike most encounters on chatroulette, this one does NOT feature…
Old men
Men with no trousers on and something in their hand
Justin Beiber clips pretending to be a live webcam OR footage of a cure animal next to a snake, both of which are attempts to convince young ladies to ensure their chest doesn’t overheat
However, it does have a funny love song, a woman happy to listen to it, and a lot of preparation.
I know it is a bit soppy, but it has survived in Google Reader for 10 days (if I can’t decide to post something, I keep marking it as unread. Eventually I either get bored of it and let it disappear, or embed it if I still think it is worthy of your attention).

Heya Chris,
I can’t watch youtube at the moment, but I highly suggest searching for “chatroulette merton” and “chatroulette ben folds” if you haven’t seem them yet. Good videos and pretty good music, especially for improv!

I remember the ben folds and merton improv thing a while back, but never got around to watching any vids. Thanks for the reminder.

I suspect it’s a setup. But it’s a nice idea in any case.

I stand corrected. It’s a publicity stunt but not a fake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq67Jaaha-Y

When Merton wears that hoodie pulled over I swore it was the guy from Ben Folds. I think once they played a song about each other which added to my confusion, then there was a video where they were together but it looked fishy too. How crazy would it be if you were sitting on your couch (clothed), having a beer, looking for someone interested in talking (not wanking), when all of a sudden you see a sea of people behind someone playing piano! But in reality, all anyone sees on there is a lot of wang. whole lotta wang.

Thanks for the reminder to look up the videos. Very cool. Too true re. the whole lotta wang. I hadn’t been back on chatroulette in a long time, as it seemed to be taken down a while back. Must try and focus on writing a few new posts this evening, rather than F9-ing an hour away 🙂
