...site - they either stared blankly or skipped ahead. It seems that the only way to get anyone to stop their endless scroll is to either a) be female (in my unscientific test, about 85% of the people on ChatRoulette were male) or b) be ridiculous. The latter explains my gas-mask friend, faux Hitler and people posing as cast members from Jersey Shore...
