    And what you're saying is true. Can you imagine the shattered self-image and narcissistic injury he faced?


    [en.wikipedia.org]

    Some people in his inner circle are defecting.. He has secrets.


    "Because of the fame Gary received, he had considered suicide on many occasions, until February 13, 2007 when he met his 33 year old now wife Marlena Harris (Brolsma), from Brooklyn, New York. When last heard, Marlena is planning her third child, first with Gary, and they plan on naming it Fericirea, meaning happiness, after one of Gary's favorite lyrics to sing in the song 'Numa Numa'"


    Not to mention the NYtimes article. Bromsla is rocked with guilt. His life isn't just sad, it's messed up.

    This guy was also in the video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans" (a classic video if there ever was one), playing himself as this character.


    He's obviously just trying to milk it for all it's worth. Why not? It's not like he's going to parlay this into a film acting career. He's probably made more money off this stupid video than most people make in a year.

    @badasscat: exactly while I doubt he will be able to live off this. I am sure he has made some good spending money maybe enough to get a new car or even a new place. Who knows but good for him.

    That's not a good selling point for Google pay-outs.

    How do we know the Numa Numa kid isn't running some worldwide, multi-billion dollar consulting firm, quietly staying behind the scenes while others also get rich beyond the dreams of avarice?

    When I'm a billinaire I'm going to hire Clifford to give me each day's forecast, then I'll say "That's why I'm wearing a jacket."


    And then he'll give me a brief dead-eyed stare before bursting out with "AHHEEEE HEE HEE."


    We're going to do that every day. And it will only get funnier and funnier each day. Why no, I'm not obsessed, why do you ask?

    Don't stop at avoiding Internet popularity. If you never get popular at all you'll save yourself uncounted heaps of bullshit. You see, I have a life plan.

    I'd bet even money that he was paid by Geico to do this. In which, case (ADismalScience be damned) it beats working!

    I would have preferred Tay Zonday and the Geico Cavemen, but there might have been some issues with cross promotion after the Cherry Chocolate Rain video Tay made last year...

    Chaucer was pretty much a one trick pony.

    Einstein -- what do people really remember now except e-mc2

    Shakespeare -- plays and pomes in verse

    Ghandi, Katy Perry, Bob Dylan, Adam Smith...


    They all had their one good trick. Moreover, maybe Numan's "tricks" extend beyond the internet?
