Too Viral To Be True

August 18th, 2006 by Alex

This week’s video comes from John House - it’s a very funny spoof on New England preppies. Too funny, actually, and maybe a little too slickly done… I wonder - is someone foisting a fake viral video on the world? Why yes, yes they are.

Whatever. It’s still funny, and it’s certainly worth looking at how companies are taking advantage of the personal media trend to get their own content out to consumers, sometimes with disastrous results.

By the way, should I be embarrassed to admit that the reason I didn’t put this up when John originally sent it to me is that I was catching up on work after a vacation… on Cape Cod?

I’m gonna go with probably.
