Newsflash: Twitter's Stephen Colbert outed as fake
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.

Ace Hardchester's Interesting People. Part One: The Failed Internet Celebrity.
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.

Where is the Star Wars Kid These Days?
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_... As one of the initial purveyors of 'viral fame', where is Ghyslain "Star Wars Kid" Raza?
