While I go through my list of RSS sub­scrip­tions I always find ‘unbox­ing’ posts and I always find those posts very strange to me.20080225unboxing.jpg

Is it a form of geek porn, a rit­ual of an unknown pagan reli­gion or what?

Could some­one who read this from the United States what do they find so cool in unbox­ing posts and videos?

I am surely miss­ing some­thing here since after a very quick research I found two dif­fer­ent web sites which only talks about unbox­ing: unbox​.it and unbox​ing​.gear​live​.com.

Per­son­ally I think that the videos showed in these web sites should be played from the end to the begin­ning since I always find impos­si­ble to repack­age stuff as it was was orig­i­nally boxed. That would be a great service.

    Dude, awe­some com­ment on the back­wards thing… BTW though, this com­ment box is mak­ing me want to stab myself in the eyes since it has white text on a white back­ground (Chrome Only??). Hooray for notepad. Any­hoo… I think the num­ber one attrac­tion with unbox­ing videos is that thou­sands of peo­ple finally have more than 0 rea­sons to speak up about some­thing – Even if it’s because Daddy gave them an iPod, iPhone, Mac­Book, or the req­ui­site $3000 dol­lars in cash to pur­chase some sort of over­priced f***ing prod­uct. The inter­net has done some ter­ri­ble things in its day, but giv­ing unim­por­tant peo­ple the abil­ity to pol­lute our pre­cious tubes with unim­por­tant shit is by far the WORST.

    10 points for you sir.

    else. I usu­ally think Mac cultists are fun and harm­less (and the phe­nom­e­non is gen­uinely inter­est­ing), but some­times they do scare me. If there’s one thing that makes me wary to admit that I use a Mac, it’s this unbox­ing video (and what’s with the­un­box­ing thin­gany­way?) of some dude in an orgas­mic state over a com­puter. And I don’t think it’s a spoof or a hoax. Humans are strange crea­tures: 3. Glass­booth — Quiz to help you choose best 2008 pres­i­den­tial can­di­date. I should’ve posted this a long time ago,
