The creation of the World Wide Web attracted so many people to use computers. Facebook brought so many people to the internet. And once people saw their first ignorant/conspiracy/propaganda/celebrity video, they were hooked on a new form of crack. Truthfully, If it wasn't for the Facebook explosion, I wonder if Worldstar would have the success it has today. The fact of the matter is, SOCIETY LOVES CONTROVERSY. It can't be stopped!
At the end of the day, it's a purely philosophical/socio-economical question: Do you want your kids to live in a society where this is allowed? In our society, our constitution states that there is freedom of speech, religion and press, where one can argue that it is deteriorating our country. Yeah it's great to have the freedom to search these sites, but at what cost? The same people who value their freedom on the internet are the ones creating backlash against sites like WorldStarHipHop. You can only do so much. If you don't like it, you have the freedom to not look at it. To the OP, if you feel so strongly against WSHH, coming on Niketalk to complain about it won't do much. Call your congressman/Senator and support the SOPA or CISPA bill.
Agreed. And like it was said before, just stop going to the site if you think it's that bad. If the site doesn't get hits or views, it will slowly die. But the funny thing to me are the NT'ers on their moral high-horses fronting like they don't go to the site or others that are just as bad or worse. It's always interesting to see folks on NT post youtube vids of things that are specifically shown on WSHH
I get as much enjoyment watching a wshh fight that I do watching a UFC fight... It's all entertainment... Like others have said... Raise your Children correctly, Problem solved...
i'm more mad that I dont own the site i mean its basic and its certainly not the first or last of its kind but it caught on like wildfire and some young people are getting paid off it- exploitation of ignorance? yea...but at the end of the day like most have said its just a platform...if it wasnt them it would be another site i'm still trying to figure out how this internet phenomena works - it has to be more than just luck/grind or whatever...like twitter, facebook, tumblr, instagram are heavy right now but it would be laughable to tell somebody to hit your migente or myspace or hi5 page people replicate the same ideas or take pieces of ones that were already out and then bam they spread and become a part of the culture- crazy to me
WSHH is just the most popular unifying platform available on the internet; remove it and it'll be replaced just as quickly. There is a strong demand for that low brow material and there's nothing we can really do about that. But it's not my belief that the internet notoriety and general demand for that kind of content is causing so much violence; that's been there from the start. The prospect of e-fame overnight I'm sure is tempting but I don't think it's enough to explain the violence in the sheer quantity that we see it. In my opinion, WSHH and sites like it expose serious issues in the African American community. The level of violence and conflict that we see as routinely as we do is not normal in any sense. Some are afraid to say it for fear of being called racist, but these conflicts are symptoms of more serious issues in the black community in America that need to be addressed.
haven't been on worldstar in a long time but if thats what they're posting now I'm glad i haven't i thought it was ridiculous before but dam...
on some depraved level, it's genius for whoever owns it to profit off the stupidity of others. i've never visited it though. not my thing.
OP you are whats wrong with everything going on in this World today. You are searching for a scapegoat, while turning a blind eye to the root of the problem. I have said this before, sites like Worldstar only display what us as human beings are doing, if we never partook in these acts then they wouldn't have anything to post. Simple enough. But you would rather find something to point the finger at, just like in our schools instead of blame the parent(s) we put the blame on our teachers, and so on....
That's a spot on analysis of it. I had never watched a WSHH vid until I started seeing loads of them referenced on here, and the only ones I even really watch myself are Wakengo/booty vids One I came across and watched in disgust was that UCA (Central Ark) frat party where those girls were stomping all over this other girl, and that's only cause I have friends who either went there and were telling me about it. That site strictly goes after that demographic, and is a haven for racist bigots to [nearly] confirm their views.
worldstar was designed to make black people look terrible, i seen some wild %@#% on there from fights , to women sucking !%[email protected] while on the phone with their husbands, at my college all you see is people using all the computers not for school work but to watch wshh, it was entertaining at first but now, nah b, do white people even watch world star?
I literally have NOT typed in worldstarhiphop in my browser in over 2 years. I've been preaching this to people in real life, like my boys - and they laugh at me calling me soft, "you can't handle these videos" . That's not even the point. Nothing beneficial comes out of watching ignorance, and allowing a company like WSHH to profit off of. I despise WSHH. I don't support any exploiting of unnecessary humiliation, such as the video OP was referring too.
Thats all I can think of. Not sure, but gotta believe some of these things would have happen regardless if there was a camera or not so I would think with the videos, maybe some of these people are at least getting arrested for their actions.
Most large internet forums that allow that kind of content have a dedicated WSHH threads filled with nothing but vids and hateful racial remarks.
I have never went to Worldstar... only clicked a few videos I saw posted on here. This thread REALLY peaked my curiosity, so I just went on. The first video I saw was of a 100 year old woman riding shotgun in a car playing with a young boys @#&* This CANNOT be real life
WOW that girl got her !+% whooped But i've seen worse. Dudes are funny btw. The internet cant and shouldnt be censored in any way. WSHH is a legit business. I'm never having kids btw Its a cold world
