Comparison: You Cube Vs. Booub Tube

Bob Garfield, You Tube vs. Boob Tube
According to Garfield, most people create or share video content online because everyone wants to be a movie star and posting home made videos of them self gives them a chance at that. And to give other people a chance to view it. I do agree with it because I think it gives people a chance to feel accepted. Hollywood’s role in video entertainment has changed in that the internet video sites such as you tube are taking over the way people view television. Advertisers are putting their ads on websites to promote their product more often now. “Exploding TV” and “Monkeyvision” are fitting titles for the you tube phenomenon Garfield describes because you tube offers a way to view television without commercials.

The differences Daum perceives between PFSlider and Pete according to the writer are that PFSlider was what she knew him as and that’s the name of the person she started liking, as his name Pete, she didn’t know him as that so I made it strange to call him that.

For what Daum berates herself both during the relationship and after it ends is that she wants to like the physical Pete but can’t because she built up high standards for PFSlider and Pete
