This Kid’s Never Getting a Job
Viral videos spread like, well, virus these days. Case in point this YouTube video below that has only been available a week but already has roughly eight million views and has been featured on CNN, Fox News and VH1. That’s ebola fast!
It’s pretty easy to see why this video has spread so quickly: it’s hi-freaking-larious. But here’s the thing, this kid is never going to get a job. At least not a normal one. It’s the day of the digital trail. Everything that goes online is remembered, forever. This post, this post will be read by some bumbling moron a thousand years from now when crabs are doctors and robots have their own devil. You know what I’m talking about.
But seriously, this video is never going to go away. When this kid is in high school he’s going to get beat up because he’s the stoned dentist kid. If he’s lucky enough to bring a girl home to meet his parents, they won’t be showing baby pictures, they’ll be showing when David was a YouTube celebrity. Then, when it’s time for David to get a job, his potential employer will not want his drug using self anywhere near their company. He’s basically going to have to become an actor — this is totally the kind of thing that would get shown on someone’s first visit to the Tonight Show. If acting doesn’t work out, I guess he could always be a dentist. That’d kind of be fitting. Or a bounty hunter. He could always do that.
It really does amaze how fast that went around the ‘net. Have you seen any of the parodies? I recommened “David After Divorce.”
Yeah, I actually wrote this a few days ago and have sense seen the David After Divorce. I was just too lazy to update the post. While he may never get a “real” job, he’s going to be internet famous for at least another week.
