How sad is it that I want one of these? I signed up on an email list to be notified of the product launch and have just been informed that I can be one of the first 1,000 solipsistic losers to own this bad boy.
Here's the lowdown:
Shoot. Star. Share. Yoostar™ makes YOO the star of famous movie and TV scenes and lets you share your performances with the world. The Yoostar system ($169.95 MSRP) includes a studio-grade web cam, portable green screen and stand, remote control, 12 movie scenes and 2 bonus scenes. Purchase and download a wide variety of additional scenes at Yoostar.com.
I looked up the movies Yoostar has to choose from so far: not too many, and the sample performances by civilians are pretty lame. But I figure I could spice things up by playing George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life wearing a Hitler mustache or Brando's Godfather in drag.
Then it's not awkward, pasty-faced me, but a character playing a character, see? That would add a layer of irony, a condom for my self-consciousness. I know, it's a flimsy rationalization...but I really want to be Spartacus, dammit!
