Personally, I think this is hilarious. It was probably started by 3 bored, unemployed high school students sitting in front of a netbook with a webcam. They made funny faces, and posted it to YouTube, where it was promptly viewed by 10,000 people in the course of the next 24 hours. Then, they decided to start up a facebook fan page, where they got 240,000 people to “like” their page. At this point, some of the kids who saw the YouTube video or “liked” the facebook page decided they could make similarly stupid movies. And they did so. And posted them to YouTube. Now the media is being led by the nose chasing down this as the latest viral internet video phenomenon – and the kids that started it are probably laughing their *sses off.
On the flip side, if it’s true… it’ll be ironically humorous when this article gets a full show devoted to it on 20/20 and Barbara Walters unwittingly “intoxicates” their entire viewership with binaural tones on National TV.
