Google Idol & The Cult Of Pomme & Kelly
Mrs L and I have spent most of this evening laughing at the unfortunate people who have submitted video clips of themselves to Google Idol.
The idea is, you do a video of yourself lip-synching to your favourite tune - and you can ham it up as much as you want - and then upload it to Google Video. Then you enter by submitting your video on Google Idol and wait for the votes to roll in!
The saddos in the picture above are doing their spoof version of Europe’s The Final Countdown. Our favourite Gidols (yes, they have a name) are Pomme and Kelly and their version of Respect. A quick search on Google Video reveals that they’ve got a whole back catalog of classic lip-synchs! If you do one thing today, go and vote for Pomme and Kelly in the competition!
Hold up! They’ve got their own website and they’re canvassing for votes! I could waste a lot of time watching this Google Idol competition!
[...] With support from Seth Godin, The Levee Breaks, Michael Nguyen, Raioo Bloggers, David Barbarisi, Hello Mike, Circle Design and a whole host of others (check Technorati) it’s hardly surprising they hit over 65,000 page loads in one weekend. [...]
Pomme and Kelly are gone, they shut it down. What a stunning loss for humanity.
I know, just dreadful. Totally classy move on their part, but it looks like I missed this meme by just one day.
