Justin.tv is Stupid

As I write this, Justin.tv has been streaming for 4 days, 23 hours and21 minutes. Yes, some moron named Justin has strapped a TV camera on his head and is streaming it on the internet for all to see, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He even posts his cell phone the web site just in case you wanted to warn him of some hottie checking him out.

The really funny part is from a recent post on TechCrunch about how folks are pranking poor Justin.

When a bunch of geeks live their life online, it’s tempting to do things to disrupt those lives and watch the fun from the comfort of your computer. So it’s no surprise that some fairly funny pranks have already been played on four day old Justin.tv.

The best so far? Wednesday at 1:40 AM someone spoofed the caller id of the Justin.tvIconLink official cell phone number (which is listed on the Justin.tv site), called the San Francisco police department and reported a stabbing in the North Beach apartment.

Check out the hilarious clip on the TechCrunch post.
