Molly talks about how Go Pro was just the start of the star-on-your-head camera craze. Tom is introduced to Slender Man and his cousin Trender man. Plus, you won’t *need* matching luggage if you get rid one thing a day, and who’s Hadoken-ing.
Show Notes:
‘Biting Elbows’ Go Pro Video (NSFW!)
Slender Man (and its derivative, Trender Man)
Hadoken-ing
I felt obliged to add on what I thought were some more interesting aspects of SlenderMan and Family.

Don’t know if you saw this Tom, but here is Scott Johnson playing some “Slender Man” on an episode of FPTV.

didn’t know tom and molly had a new podcast. downloading #1 – #11 atm to listen to!
If Slender Man is a thing, then the YouTube series, Marble Hornets has to be a thing too.
Listening to this episode in December and had never heard of Contour Cameras before, so I went to Google and what did I find? Contour Cameras left the point-of-view camera business in August. Looks like being the “opera” wasn’t a successful business model when you can’t keep up with new competition.
