In Review: VIDEOJUG.COM

If only a few more celebrities had watched the clip entitled 'How to get out of a car without showing your knickers' the world would be a better place.

Ever found yourself sitting at home after a lecture, neighbours over, wondering how to insult someone using British sign language or how to care for Madagascan hissing cockroaches? Yes; then this is the site for you. The general idea behind http://www.videojug.com/ is that people create short videos teaching people less intelligent than themselves, how to do stuff they couldn’t otherwise do. These video clips range from learning to tie your shoelaces, to learning how chat someone up on the bus or train (surely a very specialised skill) This web site has two functions; making bored students laugh at badly-made videos whose presenters are about as good as Kelly Brooks was on Big Breakfast; and actually providing useful information. If only a few more celebrities had watched the clip entitled ‘How to get out of a car without showing your knickers’ the world would be a better place. There is a lot to be said for this site, it provides useful visual instructions, that really do help idiots like me learn to do the most mundane tasks, take for example my vastly inadequate knowledge of DIY, now vastly improved by clips such as ‘How to fit a door handle’ and ’ How to fix a dripping tap’. This web site would have been useful on Valentine’s Day as it offers advice on a range of Valentine dilemmas, such as ‘How to survive Valentines if you are single’, to ‘How to be romantic yet original on Valentine’s Day’. But if you are one of those people who is perfect in every way visit this site to watch the odd blithering idiot stumble through their instructions.
