Home Videos.

No one really likes to watch other people's home videos.

Why?

Because they're boring.

This really doesn't make sense, though. Even the people who tape family events, vacations, etc know that they wouldn't want to watch someone else's video. That they probably won't even watch their own. But, this case really isn't necessary and shouldn't be. If people would just follow the simple rule of home videos (that they would want other people to follow: let's call it "The Golden Rule of Home Videos."), then all would be good. "Do to people what thou should want done to thyself." In other words, if you don't want to watch someone else's (or your own, really) 5 minute tape of their (or your) son picking his nose, or a 2 minute take on the wake of the boat, or the slow progression of the family as they wait in a line to see Michaelangelo's David, then it'd probably be a good idea not to tape it.

It's really not that difficult.
