Shocking News: Sasha Biachchi's ass kissing hot Indian actor, Amir Khan's back.
It's all about attention grabbing headlines.
It's all about outrageous images, ideas, & verbage.
Doing something that no one else is doing, in a way that no one
can do it.
We kind of did a little performance art experiment & publicized our
top news anchor using online methods.
We used twitter, youtube, streaming tv, Current_ & highlighted her
escapades. Did she dally with the executive producer? how chummy is
she with the editor--we wanted to combine a shot of reality tv style &
parody news style with reality.
We weren't quite able to buzz in abandon as we were doing
it for about 30 minutes every other day to highlight this next
online diva.
Sort of living the theory of how it all happens. We wanted to experiment with
the whole process & Sasha is a product of that process, she is
an outrageous news anchor who is oddly endearing & ready to take on
the electronic world.
Sasha Biachchi is a play on words for-- such a biatch
in the spirit of fun.Shocking News: Sasha Biachchi's ass kissing hot Indian actor, Amir Khan's back.... more

WALLINGFORD - Michael Buckley describes his job as "full-time Internet personality," but don't laugh - at least, not at his job.
Buckley, of Wallingford, created the fourth-most-viewed YouTube comedy videos of all time, with more than 95 million views of his celebrity-mocking "What the Buck" show since 2006. He got a front-page spot on the YouTube site in 2007.
"That was the turning point," Buckley said.
From his home, Buckley produces his own show, writes his own scripts and even made his own green screen with a piece of green fabric from Wal-Mart. He learned how to use video editing software and camera techniques from YouTube videos.
Buckley hosts the one-man show from behind a desk, offering caustic or funny commentary on the latest celebrity event or mishap, although he does on occasion branch out into sports or politics.
"I've always had a punch line, even when I was a kid," he said. His commentary is not spontaneous, though. Every line is scripted, although Buckley works hard to maintain a natural, impromptu delivery. He said he is very critical with his own work, redoing scripts if he doesn't think they're funny enough.
"It used to take me eight hours to make a five-minute video," he said, adding that he now usually prepares a script in four hours. The show comes out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
His popularity on the Internet caught the attention of HBO, which hired him to create a show. The show is still in the planning stages, Buckley said.
He also does speaking engagements with companies trying to understand the new media platforms.
Local residents might recognize Buckley from his position as co-host of the cable access show "Table for Two," which ran from 2005 to earlier this year. The show had a similar format to "What the Buck," and Buckley said the cable show provided experience with production skills that he used for his YouTube videos.
"That's where I really honed my craft," he said.

My long time friend David Elliott is in the process of writing a book about his failed attempt to become an internet celebrity. The first draft is very funny.
Anyway, he is offering 5,000 words to whoever can get his project the most attention. Those 5,000 words will be on a topic of their choosing, so very naughty things might happen if the wrong person wins.

We all knew it was unlikely, but the real Colbert has been known to keep closely connected to all things involving the Internets. I mean, this is after all the guy who set the video uploading world into a tizzy with the Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge, right?
So many Star Wars Kid jokes, so little time. Well, for those who weren't in the know, someone has been "tweeting" as StephenTColbert on Twitter, and his rhetoric was fairly convincing.
Check this one out: http://twitter.com/StephenTColbert/statuses/813625113
Or this one: http://twitter.com/StephenTColbert/statuses/813589411
Or better yet, this one: http://twitter.com/StephenTColbert/statuses/813149340
Anyways, he was outed by Comedy Central Insider, the show confirmed that the real Colbert dost not tweeteth, and as a result the faker has posted a tumblr blog explaining the whole ordeal: http://fakestephencolbert.tumblr.com/
Pretty funny stuff, but the timing is a little unfortunate. I'm hoping this doesn't die down too quickly, as it would be hilarious to see the real Colbert address his Nation regarding the controversy.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with David Elliott, a failed internet celebrity, to discuss his plans to become world famous. It was an interesting encounter if only for the fact that he actually does think he is famous.
This is to be part one of a series in which I travel the country in search for unsung heroes: the brave failures, the unsung average people, who do not succeed in completing their dreams. These people deserve attention just as much as any Oscar winning film star, and for that, I have tracked them down.
If you know of any interesting people, please send me a message; I would love to talk to them.

As one of the initial purveyors of 'viral fame', where is Ghyslain "Star Wars Kid" Raza? The last the media reported, he settled out of court on a lawsuit seeking $351,000 in damages for the leak of his Darth Maul double-edged light saber stunt. He settled out of court in April 2006 for an undisclosed amount. Did this video leak and subsequent international fame defeat this young Canadian? Is he the first real human tragedy in the instant fame garnered by pure 'reality internet TV' or are we oversimplifying a high school prank. There is only one vague interview with Gyslain that sheds little light on a kid quashed by instant, unwanted fame. Where are you 'Star Wars Kid'? - http://www.famouspictures.org/mag/index.php?title=Star_Wars_KidAs one of the initial purveyors of 'viral fame', where is Ghyslain "Star Wars Kid"... more
