We’ve all seen the embarrassing aftermath of drunk picture-taking, and now My Drunk Pix has emerged to let these booze-fueled photos live on forever.
Like TextsFromLastNight (see below), My Drunk Pix is a site driven by user-submitted content. Rather than text messages, however, MDP sorts drunken photos and posts them by area code or nickname.
Implications - Consumers today can share all of their experiences, whether bad, good or embarrassing. This has resulted in an even playing field of people who know that they are not alone in their experiences, no matter how unconventional. Thus, things sending drunk texts, which were once kept secret, are being brought to light as important parts of pop culture.
