In less than a week, the idea started by Ugo Menconi has just gone viral on the internet and is now becoming the focal point for many internet surfers as they try desperately to get themselves nominated and join in the game.
There are now short videos being posted on the net from people dancing, playing guitars, pianos, didgeridoo, riding unicycle, painting, attempting to eat an apple, singing, drumming … the list just goes on and on and each hour more and more are being added.
At the bottom of this article there are just a small selection of some of the videos now posted up showing the incredible enthusiasm for this project.
It was only on the 10th March 2014 that the idea of #culturenominate first surfaced -- full article here
In Garfagnana, there is now a movement to counteract this game as a musician – Ugo Menconi, well known to readers of barganews.com as the accordion player in The Aristodemo’s has launched a new game called #culturenominate
He plays a piece of music live and then nominates three other people who have to respond with their own #culturenominate within 24 hours.
He says that he was appalled by the neknominate meme which is sweeping the net and wanted to put something back which was of a positive nature.
Da qualche settimana passano dei servizi sui tg nazionali in cui si narra di stupidi giochini in rete, istigatori di alcolismo tra i giovani. Il gioco consiste nel farsi un video mentre si beve “alla goccia” del liquore, vino o birra e alla fine si “nominano” degli amici che dovranno fare altrettanto.
Non voglio fare il bacchettone (a suo tempo il sottoscritto ha preso delle sonore briache tra amici…), a tutti piace bere in compagnia ma OSTENTARE ed INVITARE riprendendosi all’alcol lo trovo molto pericoloso, patetico e insignificante.
Vorrei lanciare una moda … Le “#culturenominate”.
Ho girato un video suonando il tema di Carlo Rustichelli da “Amici miei” di Monicelli. Alla fine del video ho nominato 3 persone, Massimo Salotti, Pasquale Mastronaldi e Anita Azzi che dovranno fare la stessa cosa, registrare un video sulla loro arte, non importa quale essa sia, musicale, pittorica o recitativa…e nominare a loro volta 3 persone ognuno che a loro volta faranno lo stesso.
Ci proviamo?? Non importa il livello, la bravura tecnica dell’esecutore… Diamo una risposta a queste brutte abitudini e… DIVERTIAMOCI!!! – Ugo Menconi
#culturenominate – raising the bar ?
In February 2014, the drinking game was linked to a number of alcohol poisoning deaths. Following the string of deaths linked to Neknominate, lawyers suggested that anyone who dares a friend to participate in the game could be charged with manslaughter if the stunt results in death.
