Good Morning Driven By Boredom
Okay here is the video from Good Morning America. I will post about the experience and the fall out when I wake up in this same post. I am just going to update it. I’ve been up 24 hours, must sleep a bit…
Update:
Okay. I am awake. The other day I got a phone call from Good Morning America while I was at work. They wanted me to come in that day to shoot something about the cheating video on You Tube. My boss let me leave for a few hours, but I had to come in early yesterday to make up for it. Anyway, I coincidently was wearing the sweater that I had on in the video. It was probably the first time I have worn it since then. I also hadn’t shaved in a few days so on the way to the studio I bought a razor and a hoodie from Duane Reed. I then shaved in a Starbucks bathroom homeless style. I got lost on the way to the studio due to bad directions, so I was running and when I got there I was thirsty and sweaty and my hair was a mess. I thought they would have some sort of stylist or something, but they didn’t even give me a mirror so I just sort of pushed my hair down which is why I sort of look odd on TV. Anyway, they interviewed me for like 10 minutes and aired about 5 seconds. I figured they wouldn’t show much, but it was even less than I expected, but they did show a lot of my video which was cool. I am not sure why I went on, when it was clear that I am a bad guy for teaching kids to cheat, but its not every day 5 million people watch you do anything, so why not, good story. My mom was not pleased with this response, but what can you do? She was even less pleased when my fundamentalist Christian aunt saw it, but what can you do? Such is life. I have gotten a bunch of hate mail from it, but mostly positive stuff. Anyway, watch it, it’s pretty silly. I’ve been emailing with the girl in it, and she’s doing something for CBS next week and has gotten even more hate mail than me! I hope nothing bad happens with her, she’s young enough that this video might get her in trouble.
Oh yeah, the video was posted on the main page of Yahoo.com all day yesterday too… Jeez.. If only it mentioned this site some how, I might have some traffic. Honestly that is the most disappointing thing is that all this exposure has done almost nothing for my traffic… Sigh… Make me feel better, if you have a blog, link to this! Or not… I am going to go finish season 4 of Weeds. The very late photos from Wednesday will be up before midnight…
Nice, Igor. I’ll have to use that technique on my next astronomy quiz.
I fucking love it. “Do you want to be a chump or a champ?” Humorless peons they are.
whoa, you are getting too famous for me. 🙂
hahaha. i love bum style shaving. i keep a razor at work for those late nights.
so proud.
I don’t think you look weird. Yeah they should have asked what you do now, thus exposing the fact that you run a website, work as a photographer, and earn a living, pay taxes, just like a normal person. I must admit that I was a goody two shoes and too scared to try and cheat in school, but cheating out of desperation on a few tests is not going to turn a person into a degenerate, worthless member of society.
I feel bad for Kiki too, I was hoping that was a nickname or fake name. I hope her parents don’t lock her in her room, sans computer for the rest of her school career.
it was her nick name, but her real last name. she was pretty mad about that…. but i think she is in college, so I think she will be okay…
