OK, I'm just going to come out and admit it.
Silly Twitter trends engage me. They make me think.
Thing is, I only just noticed today with the #foodmovies hashtag. I just found it totally engrossing. In a 'I shouldn't really be doing this, but I just can't seem to help myself', guilty pleasure, rubber-necking at a car crash type of way. I came up with some fairly decent ones - Fifty First Dates, The da Vinci Cod, V for Viennetta, and my favourite, Bambi (think about it....keep going...aaaaaand you're there) .
But I couldn't stop there. 28 Leeks Later, Spamglish, Corn Air, I could go on.
Smore of the Worlds (only good for North Americans), The Codfather. OK, OK, I hear you screaming and tearing your scratching your eyes out so you don't see any more.
Lord of the Prawn Rings, Men Who Stare At Goat Curry, Reservoir Hot Dogs. I'll stop.
But the point is, they are just the ones that I thought of. There were thousands of these things. And it didn't even trend!
And that wasn't even the only one today. There was #celebritycondoms earlier - things like Phil Collins' Easy Lover. Best I could come up with was the Hokey Cokey (you know...in, out, in, out, you shake it all about [sorry Mum/Mrs. Tom/everybody I know]).
I didn't get involved in that one. Probably for the best.
My addiction can only get worse from here though. What's next? I think you can put any two (short) words together, and if enough people pick it up, you're away. #pornsongs anyone? (see Hokey Cokey for details) **EDIT - since I started writing this #boobmovies has begun. I ask you! (still put one in - Bra Wars, for the record)***
But what's the point? For the elusive RT? To make someone LOL? To show everyone just how darned clever you are? (It might be that one) And who cares at the end of the day? Twitter passed 10 billion Tweets today. How many of them were entirely pointless oneupmanship?
The Codfather...what is wrong with me?
My name's Tom, and I'm a Trendaholic.
