Comments on: You, there. Step back from the Webcam

The Naked Generation has lived large on the YouTube-fueled potential for self-propelled viral fame. Now comes the horror of self-parody.

Yaaaawwwwnnnnn

Oh goodie. Another annoying teenager on YouTube and another same-old thumbsucker on said exhibitionism.

Please, C|Net, give us something new.

You there step away from the Social.

Caroline McCarthy does not hesitate to include herself in the "it's all about me" generation and feels it is something to brag about. I am sure your folks are proud of you too Caroline!!! Daddy's little girl writes for CNET reporting on a subject no one but the vain Me Gen could possibly care about... oh wait, they don't care either. Yawn is right!!

Paris Hilton did NOT parley a sex tape.

Paris Hilton didn't parlay any sex tapes into a career, her former
boyfriend Rick Salomon did. It's rumored he leaked snippets of the
video onto the Internet then a few months later was distributing
the film "One Night In Paris" (what a play on words!!) through an
adult film company called "Red Light District Video".
Can't argue if she has any talent or not because she doesn't appear
to be acting in the film..

She used the fame from the tape..

The fact of the matter is still the same, before that tape was "leaked" she was a NOBODY, just another stupid spoiled w**re. Than the tape gets leaked, and she took advantage of all the fame and got herself a TV show, a music CD, a line of clothing, a fragrance line etc etc... Without that tape leaking no one would know the name Paris Hilton. So yes she did use the fame that came from that tape to become rich(she needs it now that she is out of the will) and famous.

Saw the guy

Saw him in a news video log. He acted like he drank both nightquil and dayquil before the interview. I'm not impressed by morons and their 2 seconds of fame on youtube. Everyone in the world saw you be a jackass, congratulations. It's something you can tell your kids when you grow up.

We're laughing at you, not with you Corey

It's sad to see generation Y think they're in the spotlight because they're famous. They're not, they're just fodder for media wallpaper.

I hope that Corey makes a mint, as he's going to have to live with being a complete tw@t for the rest of his life.

Mind you, inspired that he has covered his face with those sunglasses - he'll only have to change his name and not have to worry about plastic surgery...

Naked generation

Yes, we are. So more naked people in public now. Maybe you can check the nudistconnect.com for further information.

Enjoy our clothing free lifestyle!

There is a difference in nudism or naturalism and pornography. Nudism believes in the freedom from the restrictions of clothing, Porn is for sexual gratification. And you may need to check naturistspace.org out there,Nothing wrong with being naked as long as you enjoy it and can handle it. We are all born that way!

Didn't Anyone get what Happened?

I have to assume that Caroline McCarthy by being part of the "media" didn't get what was happening. I'm 50+ and I really enjoyed it when he stuck it to the interviewer. The reporter was so sure she could intimidate Corey into doing what she asked and he was having none of it. You could hear it in her voice when he refused to be pushed around. I thought that part was great. Corey figuratively sticking that upraised middle finger right in the media's eye to their astonishment. Great interview. Too bad you were an ass as far as the party goes.

Corey is Sacha Baron Cohen?

Caroline and everyone else- I think you're being played by Sacha Baron Cohen. I have no way to substantiate it, but everything about this "kid" and his portrayal smacks of something only Sacha Baron Cohen could pull off. Think about it. The grainy video, fooling a "reporter," in Australia (where his wife is from, refusing to take off his sunnies to protect his identity... I think it is him. You heard it here first.
