Who Gives A Shit: Chatroulette?

Have you people tried this shit?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you clearly do not own a computer. But I'll humor you and fill you in anyway: chatroulette is this new online service created 3 mos ago by some Russian 17-year-old, that  allows you to immediately start videochatting with strangers. You basically go to the site, click "play" and BOOM: you're staring at a complete stranger somewhere in the world (and/or a complete stranger's dick). As you can imagine, there is allegedly some pretty freaky deaky shit that goes down on chatrouelette, but also its supposed to be weirdly addictive. If you don't want to chat with whomever pops up (or want to leave the chat at any point during your convo) you can click a button, spin the virtual roulette wheel, and get hooked up with someone else.

Personally, I'm afraid to try chatroulette, but as I continue to read about it EVERYWHERE, my curiosity is growing (sidenote: wouldn't it be cool if you could *just* chat with people in Brooklyn? Then I'd totally be down).

Anyway, fill me in Park Slope: have you spun the chatroulette wheel yet, or wha?
