I was wondering if anyone thinks this is a bit daft or do you do something similar?
Sometimes, I find myself watching YouTube "unboxings". Not just one but it can be four or five in one session.

Yes, my bad, I should have explained.
An unboxing is where the uploader video's himself or herself opening the package for the first time. The package is usually something like a box-set of some kind, especially limited releases. It could be CD's, Vinyl, blu-ray or technology like computers, mobile phone, cameras... you get the idea.
You also get a running commentary from the unboxer. (example video below)
Thanks on the Avvie - I spent some time tonight working up a little design. It has to be better than the green and purple Apple Mac I had over the last week !!!
So ... people video themselves undoing boxes, and other people watch that video?
No offence EC, But I think I'd rather watch Deal Or No Deal

I tend to find that kids like the boxes things come in than the contents!

That's a dangerous thing to do!! So long as it's not harming anyone I think it's ok 
Weird, but ok
It should have a name ..........'boxing' - a bit like dogging but not quite.

It's OK. I've just thought of a new way of thinking about it. This is just like someone on Top Gear describing a new car or Gok Won walking through a shop talking about the dresses. There sanity restored. Now I don't feel so bad about watching a guy unbox a blu-ray that is disguised as a box of chocolates

I had to change it from the other as it was making me feel ill - the colours 
The new one just happened to be designed to be less offensive on the stomach. As you now expect I will be getting a change on sooner or later.

The actor who used to play Phil Mitchell in EE and Stan Collymore (the footballer) were keen practictioners of dogging!

Crazy 
OMG - she is a nutter - and a potty mouth.
Her thoughts on Kirstin or Kristin's affair, doing the dirty on Robert Patterson.
She is waaaay too upset by this.

My 6 year old watches videos of people opening their match attax cards for the first time

I watch the box opening of pipes - pipes that you use to smoke.

Apparently one of the spots I walk my dogs is a dogging venue after dark.

It's all very odd isn't it, my lad used to video himself playing on his Xbox (just the actual onscreen game play) and then post that online.

My nephew does the same.

I'm feeling less freakish now.
I just knew others did it or variants on the theme.
