Was this inspired by that scene in Home Alone where Mccauly Culkin is trying to trick the burglers by having cardboard cutouts of michael jordan and scottie pippen dance around ?

I genuinely really like this idea, but the pointing girl/ trapped marionette man picture is disturbing as heck.
I also quite like that one would feel obliged to dance all the time, or to wear big hats.

I think there would be an initial flurry when you behave like Ross in that episode of Friends where he moves into the apartment across from Monica, where he gets obsessed with pretending he is:
-being attacked by sharks -doing the robot dance -going down the stairs -walking the dog -I SAID WALKING
But best of all is the cut to him "pretending to watch tv". "Don't be silly", says Monica, "he's just watching tv" - and then the reveal! Ross is staring at the switched off television set! Pretending, just pretending to change channels! I'm sure a media studies graduate could write a whole thesis on that AND I FOR ONE WOULD READ IT BECAUSE I LOVE E4 urk.
Er yeh anyway so you'd like like Ross for a bit, then get over it. That's what I think. Anyway, have webcams ever REALLY caught on? They're still rubbish and grainy, aren't they? The ones I've seen recently still are. Perhaps this would get rid of the quality issue and take ever. Clever.
Beware of the judder man.

I heart my iSight camera. It's good for having friends who are far away.
― kenan, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)
Do you dance in front of the camera for each other? Is it significantly better than emails/phone calls/LONG LETTERS?
Just wondering like (I take it iSight is apple speak for a webcam)?
