Because my penis has a pay-per-view contract, I have yet to try out Chatroulette. But it’s hard not to notice everyone else noticing it, and when everyone on the Internet starts paying attention to something, then reporters unfamiliar with the Web are sure to follow.
Which brings us to last night’s “Daily Show” (video below). Jon Stewart examined the media coverage of the Internet’s latest dong-rich phenomenon:
Chatroulette is a lot like Russian roulette, but instead of one bullet and five empty chambers, there are five cock-filled chambers and one chamber for reporters who think they’ll be breaking the latest tech trend. Only to find themselves surrounded by cock.
…and then turned to a segment in which he went on Chatroulette and encountered various dicks, as well as media heavyweights like Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Keith Olbermann. EDIT: “…he went on Chatroulette and encountered various dicks, Katie Couric, and Brian Williams.”

Well, this is a little late, Tosh.0 did a chatroulette segment last week….
The Tosh.0 segment was great (and real), but the Daily Show came at it with a different angle, covering the media coverage of the site, rather than just the site itself.
And Warming Glow already did coverage of the Wii-jack-off-motion as well, but that didn’t make Jason Jones’ portrayal any less funny.
Chatroullete is perfect for us Glow commenters. Uff has yet to give us the technology that allows us to watch each other beat off.

Each self important, obscure reference comment we make while hoping in vain to get a “+1″ or acknowledgment of some kind is essentially a shared masturbatory experience.
Making self important, obscure references in the vain hope of some validation is a masturbatory experience, but, as masturbatory experiences go, it’s one of the best.
Yeah, if that school in PA can issue laptops equipped with webcams to spy on its students then it’s about time the good burghers of Uproxx got in on the act.
Hey, if anyone wants to see my cock, they don’t have to sign up for chatroulette. They can just head to Northridge elementary school instead.
This was a great Jon Stewart piece! As said the angle he took to ridicule the media actually paying attention to such a ridiculous interweb fad as chatroulette was smart.
But anyway Jon is always smart.
I think I’d like a bromance with him.
