http://www.couscousglobal.com/id/19722008-11-11T14:09:19+01:0011-11-08<p>Ah! A big welcome to our latest member Fatima Kaatje. Let’s talk about the next hype we’re gonna start. The OTHER FOOTAGE which we shot in Miami and Amsterdam. ;-) Interviews with young republicans in Miama, emotional moments from Amsterdam and lot’s more. It’ll be online in a short while.</p><p>Speaking of election video’s: check out the new reports n stuff Sasha sent us from New York. Click <a href="http://www.couscousglobal.com/id/1872">here</a>, <a href="http://www.couscousglobal.com/id/1880">here</a> and <a href="http://www.couscousglobal.com/id/1120">here</a> for those. </p>
<p>Now! What else! We’ve pretty much blown up on Youtube with our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/couscousglobal">Steve Zacharanda/Adam Smith video’s.</a> Last week it was viewed 5000 times. Now, at the moment that I write this, it’s viewed 301,403 times. This is absolute madness. We’ve allready received nine honours; three of them are number one ratings. Check out the stats at the end of this post. </p>
<p>The story was first picked up by Media Monkey, a blog which is run by British newspaper <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/mediamonkeyblog/2008/nov/06/pressandpublishing-digitalmedia">The Guardian.</a> Your’s truly exchanged a few emails with the people from the American network <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6213661">ABC.</a> They added it to their site. After that it started to lead a life of it’s own. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,449091,00.html">Fox News</a> picked it up, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/07/drunk-british-reporter-vi_n_142121.html">The Huffington Post</a> picked it up, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1084041/Drunken-British-journalist-covering-Obama-win-unlikely-YouTube-star.html">The Daily Mail</a> picked it up... The word was spread on sites such as Twitter and Technorati. </p>
<p>The story is developing a Mary-Shelley-monster-of-Frankenstein-esque kind of twist. Did we create a monster? Maybe we did. It has spread it's way around the web and apparently it seems there's no way to stop it. Media Down Under like <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/drunk-obama-journos-election-night-rant--a-hrefhttpmediasmhcomaurid43592bvideoba/2008/11/10/1226165441469.html">The Sidney Morning Herald</a> picked up the story. So have blogs like <a href="http://www.p2pnet.net/story/17527">p2p.</a> And so on, und so weiter, enzovoort, et cetera...... </p>
<p>Let’s see where this goes...</p>
