411: Product Porn
We were listening to Rachel Maddow and were aghast when she mentioned a new phenomenon: product porn. According to the Wall Street Journal:
A video posted on the Internet that shows a man opening a box has been seen more than 71,000 times since it was posted Nov. 11.[emphasis ours]
That video is part of a larger phenomenon on the Web called "unboxing." Dozens of videos showing people unwrapping products like the new Palm Treo 680 smartphone, Microsoft Zune ...
We guess in our consumer-driven culture, nothing gets people off more than seeing a slow, sexy unwrapping of a new, highly coveted gadget.
All that's missing from this clip is some wah-wah guitar and (faked) moans of ecstasy. Our question, what's the fluffer's job on this set?
