Viral, as in it makes you ill

The bastard offspring of Borat and Inspector Clouseau shares his insights on internet marketing, the time to take action, the correct use of videos (!!) and plenty more. Warning: his website crashed my browser.

His delivery could use some work, but I really learned a lot.

Upon further viewing: hoax. But I'd love to be proven wrong.

What is with the CRAAAZZY shadow in the first video.

WTF! That shit freaked me out!

Cute. He has really invented something new. Viral phishing.

The shadow is because he's being lit from underneath and talking with his hands. You can see it more clearly in this video.

Whew! Thanks, EarBucket. I agree with noble-rat, Viral phishing.

Memo to Department: I'm convinced that PVR's approach is the right one. Let's move ahead on this.

Looks like someone's signing. The dude's deaf.

Oops, I see EarBucket is right. It's his goddamned hands!

So some random posts a bunch of lame, cheap videos about his marketing concepts and you link to them all to prove how lame he is, promptly giving him an audience of hundreds of thousands.

Thanks for the schooling, man. You just promoted him from basement entrepreneur to Burger King ad executive.

Actually, I was transfixed by his delivery. That's the only reason I posted them. I didn't listen to a word of what he was saying.

He was chanting 'goldenpalacedotcom... Goldenpalacedotcom...'

He appears to be for real, too. Pretty weird.

Here's an entertaining exercise.

Here is the article by "PV Reymond," as EarBucket linked to above.

And here is the video of "The Lawyer" attempting to read this article to us.

Start the video, then flip to the article, and follow along as he tries to read it aloud. Most amusing, especially when he comes to the word "anesthesia."

I'm not sure if this is a hoax, but I'm fairly confident that the guy on YouTube didn't actually write this.
