Things that I don't understand: Vol. I

I come across a lot of things on the Internet that intrigue me. But I'll admit, recently, I've come across a lot of things that really only intrigue other people. These are videos and things that are very popular, have a lot of hits, and are even well known. Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it. Here are a few of the biggies.


I guess it's cute, but I just don't get it.

(1) LOL cats: Honestly, WTF? I don't get this at all. I understand that people think cats are cute, but what's up with the improper English and stuff? These things are somehow very popular and all over the web. Here's an example.

(2) Extreme walking: I mean, walking is necessary and everything, but I never thought of it as a sport. Among the most popular is a French guy named "Parkour." Don't get me wrong, I mean, it looks cool, but "extreme walking"? That's the lamest name I've ever heard. Check out the video.

(3) Crappy home videos where men dress up as women: I'll admit, I didn't really get "Shoes", but I won't go there. Some of the most popular videos on YouTube of all time are shot at home and show guys acting like women. If it was funny, that would be one thing, but they're not usually. Here's an example, viewed over 15 million times called "Muffins".

Either that, or you're just a loser with too much spare time, Tom.
