unbibiumIn this week's diggnation, Kevin and Alex call shenanigans on Tay Zonday, citing as evidence that his youtube profile was too well-produced and the photos too carefully posed to have really been an amateur effort, and the whole point was to get something viral on the web like lonelygirl15.
so, wait... all this for a new Dr. Pepper variation? I don't think so. Too much effort to have kept the secret long for such a minor product. It's been seven months, someone would have figured it out and traced the corporate affiliation back like the old Buddy Lee virals.
But it's a sad statement that every time something gets big, we have to wrap it in a conspiracy theory.
Hey, remember Super Greg?
