Internet People!

September 7, 2007

In this week’s tutorials we’ve been talking about how celebrity and self are related, especially in terms of the way celebrity is a much more fluid and attainable idea.  A lot of people have cited YouTube celebrities as examples of ‘celetoids’, but this little video makes that process even more visible as it playfully lists almost one hundred recent internet-facilitated ‘celebrity’ moments.  How many can you recall?

    I LOVE THAT VIDEO! I just watched it on Myspace, and it I laughed so hard at some of the references and it reminds me of a few I seem to have forgotten about. I haven’t checked in with Geriatric1927 for a long time!

    I’m beginning to think it’s sad that I can recall most of them!

    I just re-watched it and noticed a flash of ‘goatse’. Thank god they didn’t make a cartoon representation of that!
