If you haven’t heard about Chatroulette, it is a new social video website where you can log on and live video chat with random people. You can literally flip through videos of strangers as if you are window shopping. Lots of celebrities and lots of perverts have showed up using the site.
Jon Stewart does a hilarious piece about the buzzing website. Major network TV journalists, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, among others, all show up for the spoof. It’s hilarious! Check it out:

It is great to see these broadcasting legends having fun, especially when not many people are watching their evening newscasts these days. Diane Sawyer is from my hometown, Louisville and in my opinion, is one of the prettiest women on the planet. I first met her when I was 18, while visiting ABC in New York. She is so kind and collected, I admire her so much. She is a remarkable woman and a huge inspiration to me.
As for Chatroulette as a whole, I think that it could be a huge waste of time, chatting with random people, or you could really accomplish some soul searching. It, like most things in life, just depends on how you look at it. Have you ever noticed how sometimes it is easier to talk to strangers than sometimes the closest people in our life? Maybe that is because we know they don’t know us, so they can’t judge us.
