It’s not every day that I have a chance to videotape a zillionaire without him knowing. Here’s “Bill Gates Raw!”
The idea was to see how many subtle Mac or Linux comments we could make before driving the Microsoft founder off the deep end.
My friend used to call MTV “Doritos for the brain.” It won’t help you nutritiously, but it makes your brain happy in moderate doses. And that phrase is a wonderful way to think of the “fail” movement. I’ll now introduce you to (or perhaps remind you of) 2009’s “Doritos for the Brain”: FailBlog.org. The term “Fail”…
Here’s an interesting CBS story on viral videos and how marketers are approaching them smartly… and not so smartly. Very well produced piece. Of course I’m biased. My “Annoying Bird” made a cameo (see top middle of the frame- in green).
With mixed emotions, I tell you that the viral-video scene just got serious. My comedic idol, Will Ferrell, showcases his ability to jump backwards on the video-to-tv/film divide. I’m thrilled to see him set a higher bar, but candidly worried about a new breed of competition. He and Adam McKay appear in this hysterical video…

You’ve seen the videos showing how soda poured on raw pork evicts lots of tiny worms. Well in this double-blind, placebo-controlled “Raw Pork and Coke” experiment, we learn why it works for some but not others. Seems to get the worms out, you need to ensure that you have a) cheap pork, and b) real…

The YouTube veterans have hit 10 million subscribers, placing them as the #1 subscribed YouTube channels. Writes Variety: Alloy Digital, the company behind the top-ranked YouTube channel, is in talks with multiple cable networks about finding a second home…

Man. I’m a Mac user and I found that rather offensive. Geez. Leave Bill alone with the Apple/Linux vs Microsoft. It’s old and tired already.
You could have done so much more with this opportunity. How about maybe asking him about his foundation and how he’s looking to help children around the world.
Pretty sad state of affairs when you use a kid to say “I like Linux” to Bill Gates.
Sue him? SUE him? Bill Gates could have him eaten…with wasabe.
But Nalts is not afraid.
I’m not entirely stupid. I had my 4-year-old grab his wallet before he left. Helloooooo amazon.com.
Bill Gates impersonators are a dime a dozen. Only Elvis has more. This guy could maybe pass for a 30ish Bill Gates, but he’s definitely not the almost 50ish version we see today. Nice try, nonetheless.
Do you honestly think I have budget for a real Bill Gates impersonator? This guy just happened to look like him and he obliged to this video. Interestingly enough, he’s in the software business and visits Microsoft. They often think he’s an impersonator.
I didn’t realize how young he looked relative to Gates until I found some recent photo of the Microsoft founder. Maybe I should have put some makeup on this guy.
