Tested through time, Youtube has been.
A lot of used-to-be-ordinary people got their now enjoyed or regreted (depends on whoever is concerned) "famous" status thanks to (or no thanks to) Youtube. Yeah, the said site has become a "talent scout" for a lot of folks. Videos found in this site are giving those in it a lift to reach their "stardom".
But though some videos have found their chance under the limelight, hundreds, if not thousands, of videos are still at the back of the stage. Anticipating. And sometimes praying for Lady Luck to smile at them. They await their shinning moment... or otherwise.
Yet, I just can't help but wonder if the people who are "stars" in those uploaded videos really wanted to be there and be the Next Big Thing? Of course, there are some who were praying videos of themselves be featured in Youtube hoping to be household names. Have you heard or seen videos about the funny pinoy duo doing some lipsynchs? Or how about the comedienne Rex Navarete's Inday and the Superfriends?
And who would miss those poor individuals in videos who have become victims of ridicule and public humiliation. Everyone have been talking about them, willingly sharing their takes to others on these poor victims, judging them according to how the videos went. Somehow,this reality is quite unfair and sad for these people throwing their judgements on those victims, most of the time, don't even have a clue about the people concerned. But then you also can't blame these people for their actions since the chance to pick on those in Youtube is right under their fingertips.
Take for example, the latest controversial video people have been feasting their eyes on (and leaving men scrambling like dogs to get a chance to download or score a pirated copy of it) is that of actress Katrina Halili and so-so-doctor Hayden Kho. Fine, seeing Katrina girate with those Belo-hips is a sight which explains the ever increasing viewers of the video. But the most controversial scandal on video was their "private moments" which is not as accessible because of it's new found "Classified" status. I heard all over the news that the National Bureau of Investigation is on their toes in catching those circulating the video since the day Ms. Halili filed a complaint and even cried in the Senate. So I won't be surprised if a copy of the said video would cost much due to it's "confidentiality".
To those who watched the talked-about video, which I believe first went public in 2007, might say the actress was really taken advantaged of by the shameless doctor. Some of my officemates even sympathized with Katrina but still others believed she was asking for it. Whatever is your take of it, one thing's for sure, this flame won't die down that easy. We will still hear about this for few more days or weeks just like when The Hitman learned boxing the hard way in the hands of the Pacman.
So, have you seen the video? If I have, i'm not telling. I still believe some things should be kept secret from the rest of the world...these poor souls in the photo should have.
