I checked into YouTube for a quick distraction and maybe a laugh after getting home from work. I was surprised to see that one of the featured videos was a campaign for naked Vlogs.

Come on people. I’m sure this started out as an innocent attempt for some attention and it worked. The guy who started it Chris has a large collection of interesting videos filled with music and this campaign is getting him a lot of additional attention.

He even has added an additional Naked Vlog video where he does a strip tease that is awkward at best. I thought this was just another attempt at getting some more viewers then I did a search on Naked Vlog Campaign was surprised to see that this was not some solo campaign but has actually caught momentum and has several pages of other video bloggers contributing to the naked campaign.

WTF!?! Are people that eager to get naked for their webcams? Men, women, young and old have added their own videos in support. Naked videos on YouTube are nothing new. Freaky people post this stuff from time to time but what makes this different is that the video bloggers do not ‘actually’ show anything that violates the YouTube TOS. This is still borderline. Not that I mind watching porn or anything (I am a guy) but the fact that this naked vlog campaign has people taking off their clothes for YouTube is bound to start getting some heat soon. He has gotten some typical responses.

discobayboler “u friggen perv we know what your after you sick piece of crap wow”

So I ask my readers a question. Is this type of promotion appropriate in a social media space?
