Today's Webtip: YouTube Drama

Adrian Bliss reconstructs comment threads in a series of mini-dramas.

I like to complain about comment sections. Hell, everyone I know likes to complain about comment sections.

But I still keep going back for more.

Sometimes I read them to myself in funny voices. Sometimes I just weep for humanity. And sometimes I becomes part of the problem. Sometimes I fantasise about using them to make something awesome.

(Un)fortunately Adrian Bliss beat me to the punch. He decided to explore the cinematic potential of YouTube comments in 2013. The result is fabulous.

There are 13 in all, covering subjects like Brain Eno, Nicky Minaj, Miley Cyrus and One Direction. Lots of One Direction.
So if you want to hear what 'Sophie Danze', 'Jilianlovesthebeibs' and 'Swagg Kidd' might sound like in a somewhat different setting, then check out the whole list on www.youtube.com
