New Rule for Viral Videos

I take exception to calling any video that appears on the Internet "viral" but I'll save that rant for another day.

Right now I want to propose a new rule for all the idiots with video cameras who are shooting one of their friends attempting to perform a Jackass-style stunt that we know is going to bad.

Shut the hell up!

The audio track of every video you see is exactly the same and exactly as inane. It always goes like this:

"Ok. Go. Do it."
(a moment of silence while the "stuntman" risks his life)
"Oooooooohhhhh, Dude!"
(cackle cackle cackle ha ha ha ha ha)
"Are you all right?"
(chortle cackle ha ha ha ha ha ha)

It's amazing how annoying the laugh of most 20-something guys is.

Then they run the video in slow motion and we get to hear the moron behind the camera giggle once again at a much lower pitch.

Go ahead and test me on this. You'll see I'm right. So I propose a new rule that needs to be adopted Internet-wide. If the cameraman can't stay out of the video by keeping his stupid mouth shut, then the video is instantly banned for any and all upload sites. Just imagine if they did this on TV shows or movies. You watch an action-packed stunt and then the crew all make comments, applaud and say "ooooohhhhhh" in unison. Wouldn't work. You'd switch the channel or walk out. So why the double standard?

Camera dudes - SHUT UP!
