Is it your opinion that the Orwell book 1984 (published in 1949) came AFTER the TV show Big Brother?
I just can't fathom how you refuse to acknowledge where the term "Big Brother" came from. It's not that the term only applies to that wretched TV show "nowadays". The book is immensely popular right now in particular because of the goings-on in the USA.
I'm done with this thread. You were incredibly unprofessional in your other thread and I don't trust you. Later, gator!
In his defense, the context from which he's drawing the term is clearly the pop culture reference of the television show. Obviously, this isn't a project set up to address Orwellian anxiety over the rise of Communist dictatorships in the 20th Century. Though, I guess the name of the site, Camarads, does tinge it all in a bit of Red. If it was intentional (and maybe it isn't, given the conversation so far) then I'd call it a pretty clever little nod.
But, man, if it were...
At any rate, the site itself is serviceable. Is it a flash interface? I've checked in a few times, and every time I have, Shockwave argues with my browser (Firefox). Also, and I'm not sure how you would address this, showing up to the site at a time like this, one is met with free cameras pointed at all empty rooms. Not particularly interesting. Certainly not something that would give me reason to buy in and see what else is going on. I'm pretty into internet voyeurism, too. I'll sit and watch a person putter around, watch TV, or even check in on sleeping folks. However, I won't stick around and be enticed to buy in by empty rooms.
Good luck. You have performers, and although the gimmick you're selling is a well-worn one, I still think it could gain traction if the people involved turn out to be at all interesting.
To go on a bit of a tangent, I'm hoping more than a little bit that this is all an elaborate setup that began with a standard "new cam site!" meltdown thread to get people hooked, and now is stepping into the next phase, where we keep getting lured back to this website to check in, except one day... EVERYONE HAS DISAPPEARED, AND THERE'S A SEVERED HAND IN THE KITCHEN SINK! Nobody saw what happened, but now HALF THE VIDEO FEEDS ARE ALL DISTORTED AND ALL THE SOUND IN EVERY ROOM IS SCREAMING! And bam! That's how we've all been sucked into the world's best ARG!
...brb, starting new thread.
