Fan+Boy

By Earl Shields Fan Boy After seeing the way fans review iCarly on their personal videos posted on the net, one could immediately see how deeply influential the iCarly show actually is. There were fans who had emulated the show, even as to get their own personal sound effect devices as displayed on the show. One particular fan boy took the initiative of being sort of sneaky, doing a review without his parent’s consent. We have spoken on how dangerous this kind of decision could be, especially with the cyber bullying and other immoral things that go on throughout the cyber environment. This particular fan took the initiative in telling the listeners about something he viewed of iCarly from beginning to end, and plot by plot. It was funny to see the to see the goofy joy and enthusiasm in his demeanor. It was funny as well as informative, at the same time. After watching this video, and videos similar to it, one would wonder if the freedom we see these young adults have on the net, is what they are deprived from having in their normal everyday lives. I see some sort of freedom in these recordings. These recordings allow the young adults to break loose with their personal comments, because they may not have the opportunity to do so other places. As a user of the internet I concur that the internet is a load of freedom, but the freedom could be used, rather, for good and for evil. Yes, there are many with good reviews, who emulate the enthusiasm of the show itself. There are also those who hate the show and those who love the show, who put up personal videos. There are people who post videos bashing others as well. There was this one particular “fan boy” who utilized his post in order to bash and criticize people who emulate the iCarly show as if they were incorrectly making their own posted videos. The freedom that the internet encourages could be used for good or evil.
