Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:01You would have to get a camera pointed at your genitals with no idea whether they were in focus or any kind of decent photograph. Then you'd have to wait until your 36 roll of Kodak... What was it called? Ektachrome or whatever it was called. Kodachrome. Yeah. Until you'd used all 36 non-genital photographs. OK, right? You'd then have to wait until you'd taken five photographs of your next birthday party and your mum. And then you'd have to go down to Snappy Snaps to get them developed. But you couldn't go to Snappy Snaps in Monmouth because the person who worked behind the counter who almost certainly was like the sister of someone who went to school with you, and they'd probably get to see the photograph of your genitals, and you'd be exposed to widespread rivalry.
0:46So you then have to go to Snappy Snaps in Qumbran, okay? Get the photograph developed under a false name, come home, retrieve the photograph of your own genitals, okay? Yeah. Then you would have to ring up your girlfriend from a phone box and say, I was thinking of sending you a photograph of my own genitals, okay? Then you'd have to get an envelope. If your girlfriend was so willing, you'd have to go and get an envelope and a stamp, OK? And you'd have to then put it in the envelope, write to your girlfriend at her home address and say, herewith a photograph of my genitals. And you'd then put it in the post, hoping that her mum didn't open the letter, OK?
1:23So when boomers say, you young people are weird sending photographs of your genitals to each other, it's worth noting that at the age at which it were possible we might conceive of such an idea, it wasn't really practically possible. So that's my point, which is there are a lot of behaviours among the young, which old people go, God, young people, they're doing these weird things. Well, you couldn't get fucking avocados.
