Ever heard of the term “Madvidpulation”? Of course not. Because I made it up today.
But here’s the concept. Real video clips that mislead the view into concluding a story that isn’t true.
Here’s my example via Revver. I also did an alternative that was more for YouTube.
Did I madvidpulate you?
A recent article about YouTube reveals that 50,000 videos are uploaded a day, and 50 million are viewed. This ratio has changed, no doubt, over time. But that basically means the average views per video should be around 1000. Most videos, however, never surpass 10-100 views. Others get more than 10 million. So what’s the…
So there's a lot of debate as to whether this is a hoax or not, but you decide for yourself. It convinced me. Here, friends, is one of the most viral clips of the past month or so. Jimmy Kimmel Getting Bitten by a Snake. For higher resolution but slower performance, check out the same…
Blogs can be fatiguing to maintain (sans revenue) until something like this comes along. Mascot Roommate. These guys prank their poor roommate who has a job promoting a coffee shop. It takes the fun out of it to think it might be staged, but there's certainly tips that would suggest that. One thing's clear to…
I've always maintained that web video can't be longer than 30 seconds to 2 minutes, but this 6-minute clip (Bus Uncle) provide otherwise- it will entertain you silly and you'll soon be quoting it. Some poor 23-year-old in a Hong Kong bus tapped the shoulder of a real estate agent who was talking loudly on…

Man, you are really feeling the guilt over the “this isn’t the real me” thing, aren’t you. I feel that all the time. I get comments saying “I can tell you and your son have a great relationship” or “you guys have so much fun together” or “you’re such a great mom” and all the time I’m thinking, if they saw all the arguing and yelling and pouting that goes on in our house they’d boo me off youtube.
The only thing that helps me is that I think everybody has the same problem – you only see a small portion of their lives and personalities in their videos. The rest of the time they’re snorting coke and dancing at the local strip club. Or shoplifting software to make better videos.
Isn’t that basically the same thing that commercial marketing has been doing for years?
reminds me of the “Bear Grylls is a Phony” video:
