- phoobaar, on 11/16/2007, -3/+39The fact that people are actually seeking internet fame is depressing.
- redsfaithful, on 11/16/2007, -2/+36The Numa Numa guy turned that into a career? We live in a really strange world.
- Buffster, on 11/16/2007, -3/+22Who ARE these people?
- GunOfTheMartyr, on 11/16/2007, -4/+23This is retarded. ***** YouTube. Becoming an "internet legend" via YouTube is not possible. Internet legends are people like the admins of OiNK, Demonoid, etc. YouTube just makes you an imbecile.
Also: Buried for retardation. - inactive, on 11/16/2007, -2/+21That Numa Numa video got leaked, it was never intended to get the attention it did - someone found it on his PC and loaded it on Youtube, no master marketing idea.
Plus, its only funny cos he lookks like a retard and we're laughing AT him, not WITH him - that isn't being a comedian, thats being a retard. - inactive, on 11/16/2007, -2/+18Loosen your anus wide open with both hands and take a picture?
- keozen, on 11/16/2007, -3/+15Digg Comment Guy Says:
Stay in School Kids! - sockpuppets, on 11/16/2007, -3/+15How about getting a ***** job instead?
- chris9902, on 11/16/2007, -1/+10They're not laughing with you...
- robphillips, on 11/16/2007, -2/+11Wow.. real life gives you 15 minuets of fame, the internet gives you 15 seconds. Let's keep taking advice from those who live such short lives!
- fxu1989, on 11/16/2007, -2/+11Internet Legends ? Oh give me a f--king break.
More like 15 minutes of fame. Take for example the latest "INTERNET LEGEND" .. umm .. The Chocolate Rain guy. I forgot his name. - peterkatheter, on 11/16/2007, -4/+11Gary Brolsma is such a sad person. Just because he showed the world how stupid one can be, he now thinks he is an internet marketing genius. Sadly, his new projects have all been flops. Get a life Gary.
- Tenlow, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5Become an hero.
- thewoodman, on 11/16/2007, -1/+6Jesus what is going on here!? Suddenly some fat, miming dude, milking his 15 mins of fame, is an expert on viral marketing!? Utter tosh!
- JAGUART, on 11/16/2007, -0/+4Gosh, maybe one day they'll be as famous as the Star Wars Kid.
- dazparkour, on 11/16/2007, -2/+6I have a suggestion. Get tazed. Or bear maced.
Anyone who wants to become and internet legend, line up, I'll make you famous! - Torx, on 11/16/2007, -2/+6okay, now this numa numa guy is tooting his own horn.. the video, personally wasnt even funny to me..
- hellotyler, on 11/16/2007, -1/+4Just what I was thinking... how the hell is the 'Numa Numa' guy a celebrity...
- DeeBlackthorne, on 11/16/2007, -0/+3Next step: reality TV catering to Internet celebrity has-beens...
- skeetmuffin, on 11/17/2007, -0/+3meh
- shardmunch, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2Shh.. I'll tell you a secret. Cleavage. You show any semblance of boobage on the internets and you'll get more video views than you can shake a stick at.
- Raiku, on 11/16/2007, -1/+3Exactly. So how are they famous?
- inactive, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2***** the wsj. Why is digg partnering with a news site?
- inactive, on 11/18/2007, -0/+2What a ***** article.
- inactive, on 11/16/2007, -3/+5The internets is serious business
- elf25, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2post a LOT on DIGG
- RichLatherX23, on 11/16/2007, -2/+4Hear hear. You do not make viral media a succes--the Internet decides that FOR you. Gary Brolsma has not yet grasped that.
- MrSunshine, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2What about "celebrities" who didn't want to be one, like the Star Wars Kid, Brian Peppers and Moshzilla? The internet also has its downside, but people rather leave the wrecked victims alone than asking what went wrong.
- sling, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Can someone clear something up for me? I remember seeing this video a few months before Gary Brolsma's youtube video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gK8I5wGjKbM
I always assumed Gary was copying this one (this one is to me much funnier... the Brolsma one isn't funny at all after seeing this one).
Did Gary just rip off this video? - tony23, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1I'm sorry, but when you say "Internet celebrity" or "Internet Legend", I'm thinking Larry Page, Sergei Brin - not lonelygirl15.
- Kurisuku, on 11/16/2007, -2/+3Brolsma went to DePaul catholic highschool, in Wayne NJ. Just a note for the stalkers.
- ieatsmurfs, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Have friends to post video's of your most embarrassing moments - Star Wars Kid
- jebudas, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1according to the dates, numa was about a month before the one you posted.
- r00t3d0ut, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1why do you have to have a youtube video to be considered famous? why wouldn't woz or linus fall into this category?
- jonr, on 11/16/2007, -2/+3No thank you.
- michaelb1, on 11/16/2007, -1/+2You gotta get in that ass Larry.
- JasonCox, on 11/16/2007, -4/+5"Internet legends are people like the admins of OiNK, Demonoid, etc"
No, you're confusing P2P site admins with Tubgirl. - princessToBe, on 11/16/2007, -4/+5I'm thinking of starting up youtube account for the hearing impaired and I'll add subtitles for the non-hearing impaired people or maybe leave you guys out Just like revision3 does to us deaf people :-(
j/k I'm not that mean to do that to other people - inactive, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1I agree.
- hipsterelitist, on 11/16/2007, -1/+2There's a huge gap between retarded internet culture (youtube, et al) and real internet culture (oink, etc).
I think in terms of numbers, the retards are winning... but then again there are always more of them. - mlevinq, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1So this is the WSJ's valiant attempt to get hip to the Web 2.0 generation? I'm not impressed. It seems like the Journal is trying to reach two different audiences with this piece: the rich old fogies who've traditionally read the journal and web hipsters and geeks. Unfortunately, their effort doesn't work. The guy who wrote the article just sounds like an old fogey, and the web savvy people the author/the journal is trying to appeal to already know how to become a web superstar.
- Damian91, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1It's Alex Ramadon I think
- iPood, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Surefire way to become an internet legend...bend over in front of a camera while spreading you ***** open as wide as possible.
- Damian91, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1Want to be an Internet Legend?(4 hour fame) Do something stupid/funny/disgusting.
- hipsterelitist, on 11/16/2007, -1/+2This is why I stopped reading the wall street journal.
The Economist ftw! - inactive, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Because Kevin licks rabbit anus.
- mlevinq, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1I agree. I don't understand why Digg is partnering with the WSJ. They're content is clearly so not right at the Digg audience. Their one quasi-successful attempt at writing something that appeals to the digg audience (this article we're all commenting on) just makes them come off the kind of crotchety old fogies that most young people think WSJ editors and readers are. Rupert is going to have to try a lot harder to change the journal's image and ride the web 2.0 wave.
- inactive, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Hes like 40 now
- Christbait, on 11/16/2007, -1/+2Why would you want to be one? Internet "celebrities" are lame.
- radix33, on 11/16/2007, -2/+2You're just jealous because he's famous, and you're not.
