I Oughta Haul Off And…My Love-Hate with Hauls Videos

March 8th, 2010 by Sara

People are talking about YouTube “hauls” videos, and with good reason.

Here’s my recent Walgreens haul:

generic kleenex
hair dye
Fem HRT prescription (I will let you look that up).

Other than, say a 24-hour Web cam on you at all times, could there be anything more intimate than emptying the contents of your shopping bag for all of humanity to see?

If this were my very first blog post, you’d be able to make some good guesses about me. Vain? Check. Aging? Check. Unconcerned with kleenex appearances, check.

Hauls are that alluring combination of the best reality TV shows: At once banal, but with enough of a vouyeristic edge to keep you watching, or at least periodically checking in while you’re doing something else. Why? Check out this update from Marketplace Money, which clues in the geriatric set. It links to a YouTube haul parody by a listener.

Do you hate her just a little bit for being uncomfortably like you?
