You never know just who might pop by
Chat Roulette is the newest chat site out there, and it’s as dangerous as it sounds. If you haven’t used it, don’t worry, you soon will. It’s easy: You log on with a video-cam and get paired with a random stranger also on video, with whom you can chat. If you don’t like who you get, click ‘next’. Just like in the Russian game of roulette, you spin the wheel every time you log on, never knowing who is going to pop up. It might be a pedophile in a tiger suit (yes, that’s happened) or the next love of your life. Because it’s uncensored, parents are steering their kids far clear of the site.
