# Excessive Social Media Films The Comediva 'Pinsanity' Video Takes Pinning Too Far By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-05-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comediva-pinsanity References: [huffingtonpost](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/15/pinsanity-comediva-pinterest-video_n_1518166.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003) & [theblush](http://theblush.com/2012/05/09/pinsanity-pinterest/) The Comediva 'Pinsanity' [video mocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad) out-of-control pinners on social media site [Pinterest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-your-wellness), and shows what can happen when pinning gets out of control. With a near-demonic attitute towards pinning, the main character of the video takes people's actual things -- clothes, quotes and fiances to name a few -- to pin on her real-life boards. The Comediva 'Pinsanity' video also points out what some people may take issue with about Pinterest; it's basically taking ideas from others and allowing them to do the same. This is fantastic for idea-exchanging and broadening your idea-pool, but (like in the video), if taken too far, it can have a stalker-like experience. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but please, never be the girl in the video. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Social Media Satire:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating comedic content that highlights the absurdity of excessive social media use. - **Privacy Concerns:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing technologies or platforms that protect users' personal information and prevent stalking or misuse of content. - **Ethical Sharing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in promoting responsible and respectful content sharing practices on social media platforms. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in producing engaging and humorous content that critiques social media habits. - **Cybersecurity:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating advanced privacy solutions for social media platforms to prevent unwanted access and protect user data. - **Digital Ethics:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing ethical guidelines and practices for social media platforms to foster a safer and more respectful online environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Media Wellness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-your-wellness.md) - [Enhanced Pinterest Shopping Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-in-catalogs.md) - [Visual Discovery Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinterest-autumnwinter.md) - [Inspiring Shoppable Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinterest-tv.md) - [Digital Wellness Inniaitives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-wellbeing-of-gen-z.md) - [Inspiring Multi-Shop Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/possibility-place.md) - [Multinational Streaming Service Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shop-the-holidays.md) - [Collaborative Digital Cooking Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-of-home.md) - [Blog Post Converting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blogtopin.md)
