My husband stumbled on a video on Buy.com’s web site while searching for an Apple-friendly keyboard. I thought it was a joke.

A half-dazed girl (who reminded us of that is-she-stoned girl from Apple’s Switched campaign) stands in front of her white iMac and blabbers on about how she liked the keyboard because it was white and “it looks good on any color desk.” And how the keys were thick. And it had a USB port. And then she only gave it a 3 out of 5 rating even though she liked it and it did everything a keyboard should do.

We laughed a bit too much and I felt compelled to share with readers who also might need a laugh on a Monday:

But the laugh could be on us. Apparently, “soccergirl11″ will get paid every time someone watches her review and we watched it a few times. Plus I watched it a few more times in order to transcribe it (bold added for emphasis):

I’m here today to talk to you about this keyboard. Uh, this keyboard is really easy to use and I like the color. I like white keyboards because, um, it just shows up and it looks good on any color desk, you know. And then, uh, this keyboard especially, I mean there are some keyboards that have really thin keys but this keyboard is easy to use. The uh, the keys are thick so when you’re typing uh, you don’t have to stumble as much because your um, you know, it’s easy to use and there’s bigger keys so you know what you’re pressing. That’s uh my favorite thing about the keyboard. And on this keyboard there’s this USB drive port on the back so you can plug it into this, which plugs into your computer so the info can be transferred. So, overall, I would rate this keyboard a 3 out of 5.

And I, uh, shouldn’t poke fun since I’m like a totally big user of the like’s and the y’know’s when I did video reviews.

Nevertheless, I stick to my headline regardless of whether soccergirl11 offered us an insightful video because she’s getting paid! The video came from Expo TV, a site that pays consumers who own products to do product-review videos. The more viewers, the more money in your PayPal account. In March, it looks like qualified videos made an average of $23.25 each. Not bad for a few minutes of work.
