"Sometimes I Just Want To Copy Someone Else’s Status"
Join the madness
Okay, so basically the title is pretty much self-explanatory. The general idea around this internet meme is that it's a viral round robin. Tim Waters from the UK, on August 26th, posted "Sometimes I just want to copy someone else's status, word for word, and see if they notice". You would think that something as simple as a post like that on Twitter would have little to no influence on anything. Wrong! This one little post has turned into a viral round, so to speak. This is because the post could be referring to itself and copying re-posting that same status ABOUT copying a status is like a big joke on the person who posted it before you posted it. Its like "the song that never ends" which only ends if the singer gets sick of singing it. Well in this case, this rather stupid internet meme has the potential to never die until people have gotten completely sick of it and stop posting it.
This all sounds quite petty and stupid, and in many respects that is correct. On the other hand, if you have millions of people surfing the internet aimlessly, bored at any given second, you never know what might catch their attention, and appearantly this is the best that they could find to run with. It is what it is I suppose.

Original Review Article
This article is a review for a web series called "Starvival". The general plot surrounds a work-starved actress by the name of Danielle Barker. She takes odd jobs off of online postings in order to make money to keep her afloat between acting gigs.
After having watched only half on an episode, I already felt as if I had seen this before. What I meen is that the plot and antics within said plot are quite generic and unoriginal. I am not one to stop shows mid episode and be content with not having any drive to ever finish it, but there are always exceptions. This show is indeed one of those exceptions.
Im going to have to agree with the original review of the series and say that I was less than satisfied by far. Despite the fact that Barker recieves a gold star and an "A" for effort, her time would be better served trying to find a regular 9-5 job. Lastly, the fact that this obviously scripted show is being passed off as a raw reality show is close to a slap in the face for all of the followers, assuming there are any.
