Less Than Three

Hysterical! I’d say that this song says a lot about the youth culture of today, except for the fact that I started dating my first boyfriend in high school by flirting with him in an IRC chatroom. <3

Beta tester FTW!

So I usually keep my World of Warcraft musings isolated on Metroblogging Azeroth, but I’m so excited about this latest development that I can’t help posting it here too. Go check it out!

I will hunt her down…

Can Numa strike twice?

Sep 11, 2006 Author: Veronica | Filed under: funny, internet, news, video

Everyone remembers (for better or for worse) the Numa Numa song. Few people however remember the name Gary Brolsma, the genius behind the video. It was widely reported that Gary was upset over his newfound fame, but it’s clear today that he was simply biding his time before releasing another scourge upon humanity.

Here, for your viewing pleasure, is New Numa:

Gary also has a fancy new homepage for the video, NewNuma.com, where we can chat with Gary, and even buy Numa gear! Wow. This is feeling very Snakes on a Plane to me: take an Internet phenomena, feed off the buzz for a while, and then try to generate manufactured buzz. Where SoaP was hysterical, this reeks of too much desperation. Maybe I’m being a little harsh, but c’mon! How are you going to try and make another Numa video, Gary? Here’s what went wrong:

1. The song isn’t nearly as catchy as the original, Dragostea din Tei.
2. The video is trying much too hard to be cheesy. Stick with the webcam.
3. Gary, we don’t want to see you acting like a star. You’re a man of the people. You symbolize everyone who has ever lip-synched to bad pop music, sung into their hairbrushes, or even engaged in drunken karaoke (I know nothing about that last one). We loved your shy, “accidental celebrity” attitude.

The video so far has been watched 1,079,695 times, and I’m sure it’ll double its numbers by the end of tomorrow. But in my humble opinion, this new video won’t be reaching the cult status of the last. We still love you, Gary!
