How and why I got interviewed by ABC News.


Yesterday, I got an e-mail from Tim, the AdFreak editor, saying that ABC News was trying to find me. To truly understand the humor of this, you need to picture me reading this e-mail while at home on paternity leave, wearing pajamas, unshaven and generally unkempt.

Luckily, the reporter just wanted to do a phone interview about "Rick Rolling," the Internet prank I wrote about in AdFreak last July. As many of you likely saw, Rick Rolling got a renewed boost in popularity on April Fool's. (My personal favorite was the Muppets version.)

So I gave a quick phone interview, and the story came out today. (Click to Page 2, where you'll find my quotes.)

I doubt this will mark the beginning of my career as an Internet pundit, but you never know. Maybe I'll get interviewed about that footage of the chick seeing a ghost in her dorm shower.
