Omegle - the most disturbing thing in the history of mankind

Last week, my friend told me to check out a website called Omegle, and I was informed that it would be "really really fun." So I didn't have much to do this afternoon and decided to check it out.. Mistake.

I decided to go with 'Text Chat' at first and was instantly paired up with a 'Stranger' who instead of saying the traditional 'hello' or 'hi,' greeted me with 'SWAG' which was when it dawned on me that I had been paired with a Belieber. I didn't bother replying and so clicked 'Disconnect' to be paired with another stranger. This time I was pleased to be greeted normally, and was then asked 'asl?' I had no idea what it meant, so went with the reply: 'fine thanks, you?'  and with that, my partner disconnected and I was onto the third. So far, not so bad, but the third stranger I came across was when things took a turn for the worst. I said the usual 'hi' and was charmed with the reply: 'are you feelin horny babe?' With that, I clicked the red cross and got off Omegle as quickly as I could.

However, I remembered that I still hadn't explored what 'Video Chat' consisted of. What I should have done is realised it probably wasn't worth checking out and I should just stay off Omegle for the rest of my life. But I didn't. So up came Omegle and I clicked onto the 'Video Chat' option. Then my face suddenly appeared on the screen (not pleasant) and below it appeared a topless, and elderly, man. So I disconnected and moved on. I'm not going to describe what was on there after that because I can't imagine anyone really wanting to know. All I'll say is that there were barely any clothes and everyone was above the age of 70. I disconnected twice more until I was so disturbed I closed the page and vowed that I will never, ever, ever visit Omegle again.

I'm not going to say that I don't recommend going on Omegle, I am actually going to tell you do not go on Omegle. Oh and yes, I have found out what 'asl' means and I shan't be using it again.

Geordie Shore - Why aye or why the hell is this show on TV?

First came Jersey Shore, then came Geordie Shore and now its rumoured that Mersey Shore will be hitting our screens in 2012 too. But do these spin offs work, or should MTV stick with the original?

The first season of the long-awaited Geordie Shore finished just last week and it's safe to say the Geordies made the cast of Shameless seem like the Royal Family. The setup for the show was identical to that of Jersey Shore, however the opening credits just didn't seem as good when they were showing a dirty river and a grey sky instead of the sunny beaches in the original show.

It was inevitable that the Geordies would be compared with the Guidos, but it was surprising how similar some of them were. First in the house were Jay and Vicky who later became the Newcastle equivalent of Sam and Ron by dominating the whole show with their never ending arguments. Last to enter were Holly's boobs (the rest of her followed a few seconds later). She did a Snooki by getting drunk within an hour of her arrival, then did a Deena by stripping on the first night, then did an Angelina by leaving and then did a Sammi by coming back.

It certainly took a couple of episodes to get to know the cast and it turns out none of them were actually likeable in the slightest. Jersey Shore provided us with some brilliant sayings including "t-shirt time," however the Geordies' saying they're going to get "absolutely mortal" every episode became incredibly irritating.

All in all, Geordie Shore was completely horrendous; every person on the show tried too hard for camera time, there were no interesting relationships and 18 year old Holly proved there is absolutely no hope for the future.

All of Newcastle will be bowing their heads in shame, thanks for that MTV.
