An monkey/ape using an AK-47 video has gone viral with more than 12 million views since it was posted less than a month ago…
While it may have fooled your barber, you certainly know better. It’s an increasingly rare but solid example of using faux footage to stimulate buzz… in this case for 20th Century Fox’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” See more commercial “viral” clips on the Viral Video Chart courtesy of Mashable.
Here’s my wife and I testing her iPhone (AT&T) against my Palm Pre (Verizon) to see which one could shoot and upload best to YouTube. Turns out my Palm Pre failed to post after an hour, so I had to do it manually. Her iPhone compressed the video, and had it live in minutes. Winner:…
What’s better than my previous list of free and royalty-free music and sound effects? A longer list, which includes video effects too! Thanks to you, we’ve got a few new ones to share. Let me remind you that I’m tagging this entry “hellen keller” so we can all find it easily later using the Orb…
Oh he’s a cute little sheep. But before you can finish that bowl of Captain Crunch and spores, it appears he’s shape shifting. Mutating into “ovine geometry.” By Cyriak. He’s the guy that gave us the delightful Teddy Bears, Pigeons at the beach (love it when Teddy lifts the walking man). And head-banging cows. It’s…
I do a lot of my videotaping from the car. One-hour commute and a busy day-job plus kids. Gotta squeeze the stuff in. I’ve had a lot of warnings about DWV (Driving while videotaping) but this e-mail from my brother is my favorite. First his warning, then he recounts the conversation we had 15 years…
I used to shy away from online-video contests because they can be fiercly competitive and “out of my league.” But I’ve tried a few this summer, and I keep getting “runners up” or “semi finalist” without actually winning. This has happened with four contests, and it’s a damned tease. So I’ve decided to “throw” the…
Another article about how becoming a YouTube star can allow you to quit your day job (the Globe and Mail). Take it from a guy who knows this market fairly well… it’s possible but not easy. A few of my friends have quit relatively low-paying jobs to focus 100% on YouTube, but if you’re like…

It’s not a monkey, it’s an ape. Probably a chimp.
They should have a well armed Monkey at all convenience stores 😉
BUT is it real?
when I first saw this, maybe a month ago, they had me going – I thought it was real, but then it struck me, if I was holding the camera and my little cuz was shooting things up, I wouldn’t be holding that camera.
Still, good off the wall promo for the movie – hope it’s as good as the ad.
Monkey see,Monkey do!
Oh thats a chimp alright. It’s actually very offensive to confuse us apes with monkeys. It’s like using a racial slur. It used to really get to me, but I know that most people just don’t know.
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”
I think that Monkey is a student at OU “Orangutan university” 😉
Eligible to be viral. Really funny.
