    Tay Zonday/Ray Spoof:

    In a community torn apart, a young man from Minnesota had one dream... to be an Internet sensation.

    I love this guy... I don't care that he's everywhere or supposedly yesterday's viral news. He's so fun, everything about him. While so much of the internet/viral video stuff out there relies on cheap laughs, and humor at somebody (or somebody's cat's) expense. ... this guy is actually talented, interesting, and unique. Please, more Tay!

    This is also a really well shot piece that let's the viewer really experience who this guy is. Considering the length, i think it does a fantastic job of giving a sense of the guy behind the internet hit.

    i'm buying his album, un pirated.

    Haha, someone just walked by my desk, lightly singing Chocolate Rain to themselves. The spirit of Tay carries on still.

    It's because Chocolate Rain is one of the Most Memorable Web Videos on 2007, according to this link!

    And it's because whoever that person is took a time machine back 8 months when it was an internet sensation.

    I read that Tay is history.... He continues to reach heights on the internet that any Marketing company would die for. 11 Million people searched him out. If marketers could figure this out ??? We are still watching...

    Nice job!

    I don't know what it is but I am totally enamered with this guy. I think it's the fact that he's from Minneapolis, and I get my friends to stalk him on campus :)

    Hey. Wait a minute. Does this mean that anyone in Minneapolis who does some Tubing and ends up playing the main stage at First Ave. (not the smaller 7th Street Entry one) runs the high risk of stalkership? Stay off the U of M campus, Tunepoders! They's dangerous!
    Oh. I like how today's yesterday is tomorrow's last month...or, however trend timekeeping works. Fascinating, Captain.

    This guy is real cool, it just shows how easy it is to get famous off of YouTube! Tay obviously has talent, and I thought it was interesting how the podmaker looked at how Tay views himself as a celebrity. To me, that was the most interesting part of the pod. He went from recording songs in his basement to opening for Girl Talk! How awesome is that!? YouTube is the shit.
