Same subject, Different style

So for this blog post I was supposed to find 2 articles that were about similar topics. I found two separate ways to use chat-roulette (I'll assume you're all familiar with it.) Anyway while these two are not traditional articles they do get across different points in comedy. The first Post was made by an Australian humorist, author, and internet personality David Thorne. David decided that he wanted to test out the site and see what the craze was about at the time. All for the purpose of comedy he braved his way through the horrors of the site and humorously chatted with some people he found. Pulling their legs with little comments about their surroundings or what they were wearing or their appearance. He quickly got bored of the site and never went on again. This used the actual chat-roulette as a tool for his comedy. The next blog was a video from the tv show The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Here Jon merely uses the idea of chat-roulette to mock the style that it's just a place where some people go to get their "entertainment". However instead of just taking screenshots of his endeavors and posting them on his blog Jon did a 6 minute set on his tv show.
