Divorce, YouTube Style


Finally, for all those looking for proof that Youtube has become a viable cultural phenomenon, we now have divorce via the web.

B-list actress Tricia Walsh Smith, hosts a little video where she openly unveils the couple's dirty laundry. She reveals that the couple "never had sex" and is upset about the fact that now he wants to divorce her without reason. To add insult to injury he also wants to kick her out of the couple's apartment.

The video features her calling into her husbands office, during a conference call to ask him about some of the more illicit items she has discovered in the house.

Clearly this video is reason enough and has now given him the proper cause to divorce her and not pay her a cent for the embarrassment it will cause. Its the equivalent of watching someone burn all the money they might have ever received but nonetheless is amusing mostly do to her funny British pronunciation of the word "condoms" and you can see her unraveling mentally at the end. Good stuff.

This just shows you what people will do and what people want to watch in the youtube age. It seems voyeurism and entertainment are now permanently linked and this is just another huge step in the amount of personal information people are willing to post on the web.
