Described by The Register as ‘the new geek porn’. What is it? Simply:

people film themselves unwrapping new products from the likes of Palm, Nokia and Nintendo

I’ve not watched the video, I’m not quite that sad, but I do know what they mean. Hmm, the thrill of opening, sorry unboxing, new electrical consumer goods…. roughly tearing open the tape, gently sliding it out of the box, before slowly slipping the polythene off its shoulder…

And of course throwing the instructions away. No real man needs them! I’m off for a cold shower and a lay down.

  1. Sounds like a marketing scam. Kind of like Valentines Day and the greeting card companies.

  2. I woke up way too early so I’m here running rampant around your comment window!!! Muwahahahaha :)

  3. No! I leave my blog unattended to sleep & people start streaking thru my blog! No standards some people….
