valleywag.com — uShip, some online logistics company, is trying to raise its profile with a spoof of The Office. The video, with Matt Chasen, the company's CEO, taking the role Steve Carell fills in the TV show, is actually quite slickly made. It's pretty great to see a company willing to poke fun at itself.

Yeah, questionable company also. I would use a freight company with insurance like www.roadway.com, www.ups.com or www.freightcenter.com and not someone who hooks you up with some guy with a pickup and a few hours to spare.

Not funny. At all.

FWIW I've used uShip twice and saved a pile of money. When I moved halfway across the country I had my 2br apt. moved + my car for 2500 bucks. We got quotes from other companies that were close to 4k not including the car.

Youtube isn't the source - Youtube is a hosting site...There was no mad flourish of people submitting the video having found it at youtube... It was clearly found at the valleywag site, and subsequently submitted - that is the source...The article description even quotes heavily from the submitted article itself, and that article is what was submitted... Digg is not a YouTube index. You're always free to go to YouTube and browse around yourself if you'd prefer not to read the editorials of people who are finding your entertainment...

Isn't the Leah character the same girl who just got a macbook pro by selling ad space on it?
