Canadian publication “Globe and Mail” did a story about viral video: cashing in or cashing out. I’m mentioned a few times in the piece, and it’s an interesting exposition… Globetechology.com Jennifer Hollett takes on a variety of views about the appropriateness of sponsored ads. I was tickled to see Hollett digging up this old piece in which I pretend to be a viral video broker (desperately trying to get fake YouTube celebs to sell out).

I hope those guys jumping into their jeans don’t expect to have children.
I miss the Scientology ads.
Wait… was I supposed to have read some article or something? Sorry… work was distracting me.
I’m still mad at Canada for harboring our draft dodgers.
I’m mad at Canada too because they always pretend to be nice.
Not the Frenchnocentric ones!
What’s with the link? Doesn’t work.
And what’s with the Canada-bashing, guys? I have friends from Canada and they don’t even end each sentence with “eh”. Although I used to have a roommate in college who was from Tupper Lake (in the Adirondacks; very near Canada) whose favorite expression was (you’re going to love this, sukatra): “fucking-eh”.
People from Canada seem to like me… I’m going to have to do something about that.
Here’s a link that should work if you are nterested:

Is Jennifer Hollett the same reporter who accused me of having 320 videos about Zardoz on Revver?
Thanks Marilyn. Fixed link! Marquis- if Jennifer be dissin’ on Marquis, you let me know. I’ll pinch her head.
Oh, that was back in the days when Revver ran a tag cloud on their splash page. Remember tag clouds?
What the heck is a tag cloud? And you are welcome, Kevin. The artcile was actually semi-interesting.
