Title: I was asked to take part in a "reality show"
Post by: lloopp D lloopp on August 22, 2011, 03:01:39 PM
A guy messaged me on youtube saying,


 "Hey <name>,

I watched your video and wanted to reach out to you to invite you to come out and be apart of our internet/TV reality show called The Big Playoff.

Visit our website www.thebigplayoff.com (http://www.thebigplayoff.com)"

He then sent me this link:http://thenextweb.com/media/2011/08/19/the-big-playoff-the-internet-truly-comes-to-tv-in-a-survivor-style-contest/ (http://thenextweb.com/media/2011/08/19/the-big-playoff-the-internet-truly-comes-to-tv-in-a-survivor-style-contest/)


The video was just me pulling a "creepy" face, idk what to send back.

It's called "spam".
They just PM random members on YouTube and advertise.

Yeah, it's 'auto-complete' messaging, which basically just fills in your name and sends it to you. No human interaction involved.

I was asked to take part in 'The Joys Of Teen Sex' while I was at Sonisphere... and politely declined. I'm not sure my girlfriend wants people to know about our life in that manner.
