I am Frank...

Following on from the old Magibon thread, 'danung' (the creator of the weird video's) has added a forum to magibon.com, in which he goes into much detail about the project.

Of course the fact that it was only a stunt won't come as any surprise, but nonetheless it makes for some interesting reading (if you have any interest in internet memes/viral campaigns). Plus of course we finally find out exactly wtf it was actually all about.

Danung said:
This is an experiment in memetics, or the phenomenon of cultural transmission on the Internet. The idea was to utilize the fame and popularity of an already-existing cultural instance on the Internet. So I targeted the bizarrely popular YouTube-video-blogger “Mririan” (also known as “Magibon”). (http://youtube.com/Mririan). She is a 21-year old (but much younger looking) girl who is most recognized for frequently putting up videos where she stares at the camera without saying much or anything at all. But her videos are seen by millions.

Much more information about the project, and links to the video's here:

This is the first time I've opened a thread and the OP's message was not visible because I put him on ignore a while back when either drunk or argumentative. It's certainly a moment I won't forget

It's never been about the girl, my interest has always been in Danungs stunt. And incase you hadn't noticed this thread is about that too.

What on earth makes you think I'm obsessed with the girl? I made 2 threads about this whole thing (this being one of them). Hardly 'obsession', is it?

I've never had magibon in my sig, but for a while there was a link to one of Danungs video's, which at the time I thought was funny.
