Speaking of Google Video...

So, for those not up on the new cultish internet crazes, I will point you to the Numa Numa guy. He used a web cam to record himself singing along to the Numa Numa song, which spawned a craze of imitation videos, which can be easily found by doing a search for Numa Numa videos. Now, while the imitations are mostly duds, it is entirely fascinating how popular this guy became because of this very silly video that was posted. Not only have tons of imitation videos spawned because of this, but now everyone is trying to gain similar internet popularity by doing their own videos. Who would have thought?

For one thing, this definitely is a testament to the power and outreach that has been created in this new "internet community."

For another, there are a lot of bored people out there--both those making the videos, and those watching them! ;)
