I almost fell out of my chair laughing between 0:30 and 0:45.
“thats why I bought my videos and so should you too!?” *weird napoleon dynamite type facial expression*

she asks for the capital of a CITY and he instead gives her the WEATHER.

Based on this i have to call shenanigans.

LOL – This is SO Funy, i also noticed that, awkward facial expression.

Also he gives that crazy list of things you can do!

Egyptian Literature!? COME ON! There had to be something BETTER to do on the internet in 95…oh, wait, he covered that. “Chatting with men about football”

Yeah I second that, there is no way any producer or tv station would have let this air….even though they are paying them to broadcast it. Definitely shenanigans.

The A/S/L/#/Z part was kind of sketchy. And the part after that: “there are over 10,000 people using the Internet every day, and in the next decade that number is expected to grow by 50%.” And the irony of the Twin Towers, and the fact that when he first introduces himself he’s typing on the keyboard, but the screen isn’t on. StumbleUpon never ceases to amaze me.

The capital of Dallas is 73 degrees with a low of 42?

Of course it’s shenanigans… look at the phone number, the area code is 555, not a real area code anywhere in the USA (hence it’s used in all TV shows and films)

I’m not even a yank and I know that.

“…and it only took 10 minutes!” I almost fell over laughing. “Chatting with men…about football.” ROFL. Then that dumb chick asks, “Whats the capital of Dallas?” WTF? Dallas has no capital. And anyway the capital of Texas is Austin. And then he gives her the temperature? This video was so ridiculous that I almost peed my pants laughing.

*facepalm* the comments provided me with more lulz than the video. All you kiddies who had to speculate about the legitimacy of the video need to spend more time on the internet. furreal.
