I am more curious as to why anyone here gives a toss.
I suspect this character and his ilk fill the role of reality tv stars, without the pay, or the fame. Essentially they are the "Housewives of Kampot".
I'm not sure anyone does really give a toss. No Joke Howard was mildly amusing, his first videos where he just wandered around explaining stuff like a tour guide were okay. Then he descended into his weird personal relationships, drug binges and confused sexuality. He liked slagging off other foreigners that he didn't know anything about. I never even saw the guy around town, and it wasn't long before he was basically shipped out by his embassy for his own mental safety. That's sad really. He could have done much better than that, but he was so arrogant he didn't attract much empathy.
This new guy seems to have tried to copy that lame act. Howard was sort of funny though, this guy is just a lame imitation who whines and bitches about everyone. It's seriously dull and unwatchable. Everything he does is painful.
Mostly I just pity these people who have such miserable lives here and can't get their shit together and then decide to broadcast it to the world. Aimless with no career, friends or family in a strange land. There's a certain amount of schadenfreude too.
MrB is the best videoblogger in Cambodia, he's a bit wild but he has real charisma and passion about his work. Nobody wants to listen to confused people bitching and moaning.
