Guy Records Vacation on GoPro with the Camera Backwards

An Irish guy gave his father a GoPro to record his parent’s trip to Las Vegas. Unfortunately, dear old dad didn’t know how to work the little camera, and had it backwards the whole time. He recorded himself rather than the glitz and glamour of Sin City.

Clueless dad is getting lots of ribbing and grief on social media, but I think he may be on to something. Haven’t we seen enough videos of Las Vegas, San Francisco and New York City?

I’d rather see someone on camera showing their natural reaction to seeing these sights for the first time. The bored, bemused, unimpressed, enthusiastic or shocked looks on their face is much more entertaining than another view of the Vegas skyline from inside a hotel room.
