I was personally "weirded" out by both. I really didn't like the way in which they presented their predictions... which is all it really is, predictions... so why did it bother me so much?
Well, probably because of the way they made their points.
Both videos made up company names and that gave it a believability factor. In Epic 15 they used peoples names and I didn't like that one bit. Both videos looked like trailers for upcoming scifi movies and I found them to be a little over the top. At some points I felt like their predictions could be spot on, if they simply pushed the dates back a couple more years.
There's just something about these videos that really creeps me out and if you haven't watched them you should def give it a go. Let me know what you think about them!
Okay, now let's own it!
Tapanga Malanga presents, I'm Scared!
Being scared, even by stupid youtube videos, can be owned.
You just have to accept that the video or whatever else is scaring you that it is legit going to come true or in the case of monsters/vampires/ghosts/clowns/serial killers is going to eat/ kill you.
So, how does one own being scared?
Step One: Work up some goosebumps. (Nothing weirds me out more than getting goosebumps when I'm not cold)
Step Two: Make the people around you scared too. (There's nothing worse than being the only scaredy cat so don't be. If you see a weird shadow or hear a strange noise point it out!)
Step Three: Make the Home Alone scared face, your own. (Macaulay Culkin def knew how to act scared couldn't hurt to learn a thing or two from the master just make it your own!) Below is a picture of my version which is just like Kevin in Home Alone minus the hands on the cheeks and my friend Rachels verison which is a total rip off.
Step Four: SCREAM!!! (Loud and often. This step really pulls the other steps together.)
Example:
On a unusually warm September night you decide to watch T.V. with your roomate. The show is then interuppted by the news in which it is reported that a man has escaped from the nearby mental institution. While watching the breaking news your roomate mentions that she heard something. You get goosebumps. You decide to go check the thermostat. You realize that its set to 76 and that the chills you just got make no sense. You quickly turn around to greet your roomate but no one is there. Suddenly you hear a creak! While you scream your mouth hits the floor. You run into the other room to tell your roomate. Sadly for you, you haven't practiced and enough and they aren't scared. Intsead your roomate laughs and adds that you look like a wannabe Macaulay Culkin.
Better luck next time :)
Keep owning my friends!

This is so funny, I think this was a great way to discuss the class lesson... I will take tips from you more often!
this is hilarious erica. I really enjoy the whole theme you have going on here. I agree, the future is scary. but now that you taught me how to own it I feel a little better and will definitely be employing this tactic.
