There are lots of these around making fun of people's ignorance. The people in this one seemed very uncomfortable, whether it could be because they didn't want to seem out of the loop with fashion knowledge or didn't want to ruin the gal's video. I honestly didn't laugh or smile even once while viewing. I thought it was tedious - like I say, there are soooo many of this type of "humor" videos around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funniest-and-saddest-fashion-week-video-ever#post-1045805 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 00:10:53 +0000 Wendi1984 1045805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Greg. Especially because a number of the people did not seem to use English as their primary language. How many of us could be interviewed on the spot in another language, and resist the temptation to bluff a bit when we don't quite understand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funniest-and-saddest-fashion-week-video-ever#post-1045618 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 18:36:47 +0000 lyn67 1045618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, how true!:-(</p> <p>(and I didn't even had to listen to this video, as I&nbsp;don't have the good enough hearing&nbsp;nor the best&nbsp;English language skills for fully &nbsp;understanding those puns intended or not, I've just read your comment and understood (+aggreed with it) all).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funniest-and-saddest-fashion-week-video-ever#post-1045537 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 16:29:42 +0000 Greg 1045537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched this video over Angie's shoulder a few minutes ago. It touches a nerve for me.</p> <p>I think it is unfair to all who participated. The video was almost certainly done under false pretenses. I doubt the participants gave permission for the results to be used in this way.</p> <p>There were language issues and&nbsp;the questions were completely out of context.</p> <p>But even if the people heard the question correctly and really didn't know who Kim Jong Un was, or were afraid to admit that they didn't know about the "posing party", does that justify publicly shaming them on the Internet in a way that can never be taken back? Imagine how mortified some of those people feel.</p> <p>It is also a lie. Do that exercise anywhere, any street corner in the world,&nbsp;and you will be able to cherry pick the answers you need in order to create the impression that people from that place are ignorant, and then laugh at them for it.&nbsp;In their case they are perpetuating a stereotype about "fashionistas".&nbsp;</p> <p>I really do&nbsp;understand people laughing at it. It is funny. But it is also part of the same cycle of snark and hate&nbsp;that can hit any of us when someone on the Internet catches us at a vulnerable or silly moment and then exploits that for their own laughs.</p> <p>Except, this is worse. Because MessyNessyChic <i>set out</i> to create those situations and exploit them for their own commercial benefit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funniest-and-saddest-fashion-week-video-ever#post-1045481 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 14:57:07 +0000 Parsley 1045481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have to say that I think the video exploits language difficulties in some of the cases, but in some it just exposes shallowness and ignorance.&nbsp;<br />Not saying that that's the rule at all, but it exists. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funniest-and-saddest-fashion-week-video-ever#post-1045480 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 14:53:40 +0000 Day Vies 1045480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not what fashion is all about :-(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funniest-and-saddest-fashion-week-video-ever#post-1045478 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 14:52:16 +0000 Parsley 1045478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is hysterical, but kind of makes me sick at the same time:</p> <p><div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/09/29/twerking-kim-jong-un-and-fellacio-chic-at-paris-fashion-week/">http://www.messynessychic.com/.....ashion-wee</a><br /></div> </p>
