Anyone tried it? [http://chatroulette.com/](http://chatroulette.com/) - (probably not safe for work) - video chat with random people.

Weirdly entertaining. Sort of like a pub, but with many more naked perverts.  
I’m checking it out right now for the first time.

So far I’ve had a compliment about my hat, 3 erect penises, a bunch of women women who clicked “next” within 5 seconds, and a bunch of drunken people who had nothing interesting to say. Overall the drunken people are the best.

Oh, sorry about that, but searching for “chatroulette” didn’t yield any matches.

Yeah they wrote it as two words. But anyway, I still hate it.

I’m not saying I like it. But it’s fascinating.
