bus uncle proves Youtube power @@

plz dun mind that i use such rude but famous videos to prove the power of Youtube. ~.~

Up to this moment, about 1,061,196 viewers  are estimated to have watched the Youtube video, which reveals by Youtube itself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsYRQkmVifg, Hong Kong Bus Uncle with English and Mandarin Subtitles, 2010/10/ 06) . Well, in my point of view, it is never a high quality in technical terms. it is not aesthetically interesting both in camera angle and use of light. From the camera angel and the texture roughness of the scenes, it seems that the clip is just a candid clip. In the perspective of narrative, I think.. the gaggling of the person who takes the clip is the only narrative. For me, I really don’t appreciate this kind of candid clip, because it is rude, no meaning, it not only intends to show the embarrassing of the victims, said, the man being seriously condemned by Bus Uncle in the clip, but also showing indifference of people , how sad that we should feel when we laugh at it at the same time!! ;((((((

However, this rude candid clip, indeed, have raised the socio-cultural issues!

let's see the following clips uploaded in Youtube.

                                                                                                                                                          

the second Youtube clip is one of  the clips which  respond and moderfied the original Bus Uncle clip.

the third clip is an advertisment in refer to the Bus Uncle clip.


the fourth clip is the interview about the confession of Bus Uncle which recorded by the TV broadcast.

from above we can see not only is such a short ordinary arguing clip can blow up such a "Uncle Craze"! "not yet settled! not yet settled!!" become a famous slogan of Hong Kongers, but also inspires the raise up creativity of Hong Kongers, we can prove it by seeing such lots of songs uploaded on the net are talking about Bus Uncle, like the Diu song and the advertisement about World Cup 2006 made by TVB, which implies that Hong Kongers like using social-cultural issue  (like the dialogue between the passenger and the Bus Uncle) to promote products or to share their comments and creativity.
 at the same time, different critiques are around the behave of Bus Uncle, the clips also draw the mass media's attention and interest in revealing his daily life and his thinking, like the forth clip is the interview about how the Bus Uncle thought of our Hong Kong government. actually, it is just for catering the taste of the public in order to raise the viewing ratio and boost more profit from adertisement.


in my point of view, i don't think such a rude clip deserves such a vast attention from internet community, Bus Uncle Craze, just like the Teen Model Craze, keep drawing the attention of Honk Kongers on such a meaningless topics, or even burning both of the time and money on that. it only facilitates the inapproprite value of Hong Kongers, such s revealing people 's ugly behave as a kind of entertainment and keep discussing and criticizing women's physical fetures (like breast and hips) are not uncivil behave. wht a pity if people only focus on reveling people's privacy! ;(( OMG..
