People Talking About People Talking On Bananas

I whole heartedly agree with Drew, and many, many kudos to Bradford.

dbreunig:

“I have a soft spot for inoffensive, non-humor. er… I dunno, really. If you’ve ever tried to pick up a banana and talk into it (since you were 6) it’s actually kinda funny, so I thought it’d be good to document. But since starting it, I’ve found a lot of support. I think it’s a winning concept because it’s user-generated (more like audience participation), it has simple guidelines, and it’s constructive rather than deconstructive. I don’t want to get too deep or high-n-mighty about it, but sites these days prosper on criticism, snark and generally have no substance (content). I wanted to make something that people could interact with, leave the computer and come back with something new, something that’s, for the most part, positive. So, seeing peoples’ pics and knowing that they had a fun time making them—that’s what makes me stick with it.”
