From deep, deep in the cotton-pickin' red clay'd piney woods o' east Texas, I bring you the tales of my sister Bethzilla, hideous freakin' white trash welfare-cheatin' pill-popping, bowl-smoking, vodka-swilling redneck swamp thing what done crawled up out of the danged boggy bottoms of Uncertain, Texas and also of Momma, a transplanted, dirt-floored, rice paddy, hand-raised Cajun girl from the south Texas depression era. Take a look see. Go ahead, lookee.

Video Fanatic Nalts Videocams His Own Anaphylactic Seizure
You think you're a fan of viral video on the internet? Try videocaming your own frantic trip to the emergency room while your body shuts down under the throat-choking effects of an anaphylactic seizure.
What a determined fan. A trooper for the cause. Look, Youtube, if a guy filming his own trip to the emergency room during an anaphylactoid shock so he can upload a video teaser from his hospital bed the same day and then the finished video to your site the next day isn't Youtube Fan of the Year PR stuff, what is?
Hmmm. Maybe I should go hang out in skid row alleys and try to video my own mugging. I'll need two cameras for that. It's hard to block a mugging with only one camera.
Here's part of the story in his own words.

Posting On The Muddy End Of 'The Level Playing Field'
"The Face of fame is changing. The ranks of the world’s celebrities used to be dominated by millionaire actors, athletes and musicians, but the Internet has leveled the playing field. A kid with a video camera has access to as large an audience as the biggest Hollywood star. A mom with a blog can attract more readers than a best-selling author. And an opinionated entrepreneur can become a guru to millions." --- Forbes
I make fimiculous little videos for the internet. Mostly for YouTube. Some of them disturbingly fun. Some of them not. Sometimes I get noticed. Mostly not.
I don't know where this level playing field that the Forbes article (see red text above) talks about is located exactly, but if I am on it, I'm on the muddy end where traction is measured in handfuls of web viewers, not millions.
Maybe I just don't have talent and am jealous, but looking over at their end of the field, the dry, slick, astroturfed end, it appears to me that the famous are an incestuous lot, pumping each other's fame like priming a country water pump.
Nah. That's definitely just jealousy. But I'll tell you this: what the web celebrities do is so far advanced from what I can figure out to do that it just plain looks like magic.
The top 26 web celebrities; lonelygirl15, perezhilton, dailykos, drudgereport, sethgodin, buzzmachine, instapundit, amandacongdon, scobleizer, techcrunch, zefrank, jimmywales, aintitcool, postsecret, craphound, xeni, leoville, merlinmann, powerlineblog, littlegreenfootballs, kevinsites, defamer, calacanis, gigaom, tinynibbles and nalts have nothing to fear from me. Their crowns are safe from my dirt-caked fingers, but internet 'cewebrity' is a house built on fickle soil. We'll see who's hot next month.
To be accurate, the people listed above are hard chargers who will not be ignored. The Fickle Factor only applies down at my level. Once you hit a certain level of fame, natural selection will not let you become unfamous.
So hand me a jawbone and I'll throw it up against the obelisk. You know, to see what space odyssey I can evolve into.

Nalts Is A Viral Video Genius
Quality is not an act. It is a habit. ---Aristotle
It's kind of fun to know, or at least be acquainted with, someone before they become famous.
Take Matt Drudge for instance. I met Matt Drudge before he became famous for 'The Drudge Report', back when he was living two blocks north of Hollywood Boulevard in an old 1920's New York-style rattrap 11 or 12 story apartment house right around the corner from Musso and Frank's.
I think the address was 1944 Whitley Ave, but it's been a while.
I met Matt through some friends of mine in the callgirl escort business: The Mad Turk and his dominatrix wife Sherry. They lived in the same rattrap, scary-assed single-occupant-elevatored apartment building. Just neighbors. As far as I know, Matt had no truck with escort agency callgirls.
Matt and I had moved to Los Angeles the same year. Matt, ten years younger than me, acted older, as if he was carrying more of the weight of the world on his shoulders than I was bearing. And that was true.
It IS fun to know, or at least be acquainted with, someone before they become famous. And I think I've met --- over the internet --- the next Matt Drudge, the Andy Warhol of viral video, the Einstein of online, the Feynman of fantasy: Kevin Naulty.
Matt, as you recall, started out with a little Hollywood insider's gossip sheet which grew to a political gossip website which grew to a megawebsite and radio show. The Next Matt Drudge, Kevin Naulty of Pennsylvania (that's him above), started out with a little blogsite ( Revverberation ) about making videos for a little-known internet video site still in beta mode called Revver.
From that, Kevin expanded to a seriously informative blogsite "dedicated to helping video junkies make better viral videos, earn a side income on them, and stay current on the rapidly changing landscape of online video sites, tools and software."
Then Kevin exploded on YouTube and got the big head (see video above). But it's okay because Kevin throws me a bone now and again. You see, I got tangled up in this viral video mess, too.
Kevin is, as Matt was, on the cutting edge of a burgeoning trend. Kevin could blow up to be king of the viral video-producing community just like Matt blew up to be the king of political gossip. They even look a little bit alike.
Then I can say," I knew him when..."
