Travelocity joins Chatroulette, adds spam to the mix

Chatroulette is home to an eclectic mix of pervs, cops, random people wearing odd costumes and (reportedly) one or two bored teenage girls. And now you can add Travelocity to the mix, in the form of their garden gnome, each time carrying a different "quirky" handwritten message.

This one says, "this would be more fun if we were in Rio". How delightful!

Travelocity's reasoning here is that people bored enough to use Chatroulette need the thrill of a vacation. I actually think that makes some sense, but it's too bad the delivery system they chose is so spammy. Heck, if you're lucky enough, you might even get to chat to a "live rep" Travelocity puts in front of Chatroulette every now and then. But careful -- if you're a perv, they have orders from Corporate to next you!
