Do people really read that slow? I kept hitting the time-bar to get that thing to speed up.

A youtube video with 75 views, which probably (based on the similarity between the username and photo on the YouTube submitter's blog and the OP's account) is a self-link.

You know, I don't care if these are real or not. I just know that if they were on a blog so I could read them, I'd enjoy them, but watching them as a video with painful music and at a pace that suggests most people can't read very fast is just...gah.

oooooh - genome4hire might be right, I was wondering why there were so few views. Yaknow, apart from it being the totally wrong way of serving the story like davejay notes.

Yeah, I kept fast forwarding to get through the crap. Obvious story ending is obvious.

Who goes on holiday for two weeks and doesn't contact home or their girlfriend even once?

Where's this hilarity I was promised? And didn't this guy learn that it is in fact possible to check email while abroad - it's very useful, as minifigs points out, to like, contact your loved ones.

There is such a thing as choosing the right medium for the message. This is an example of how not to do that.
Fucking ridiculous self-link bullshit is just icing on the cake.

No, not a self-link -though i didn't notice the similarity in pictures before. I found the video on another site and tracked it back to the youtube address since i didn't know if the video would remain on the front page if i linked to the blog. I also questioned the veracity of the video since it does seem rather unlikely that anyone traveling through Europe wouldn't bother to stop into an internet cafe at some point.
However, I did give him points for clever presentation snarky, incredulous "who me?" commentary, and 5 minutes of fun which tipped the balance in favor of posting.

Uhm, someone who is going on a two week vacation to get away from said home and girlfriend. When I go on a vacation I sever all ties to the world I'm leaving behind so that I can relax and enjoy myself. For some people this is the entire point of going on a vacation, and for f's sake it is only two weeks.

First of all, not everybody checks their email when they go overseas, so I find this plausible. Second of all, even though we see what is coming, it's a decent train-wreck, especially the drunken email.
Finally, I think it's generally lame that everybody always has to try to point out the lesson they learned from their experience. Life isn't an episode of Charles In Charge; it's okay for you to experience batshitinsane stuff without learning a damn thing from it.
Also, I read pretty slowly, especially at 1:30 AM.
