Must admit that I did not know what it was when I first read this word.<br/> Anyway we are all over the Internet in at least 3 continents now. USA, Europe and Australia. Bloggers report us on what sites we are….just heard that we are now on the biggest news site in Switzerland…in German….<br/> Numerous sites are “ cutting and pasting us, baby”. But we are proud of it.:)</p> <p>Must say that I did not sleep for a night about this all.<br/> Was I the “trashy amateur journalist who should be shot” as some of the comments were on the Internet? <br/> And how come that I am putting hard- work-movies on the net about young people in China, Africa, Holland or USA but that this accidental video gets all the attention?<br/> Only a month ago I received an Emmy Award nomination for my last tv- series of Couscous &amp; Cola, but nobody wrote about that in Switzerland or Australia. <br/> But 3 minutes of drunken journalists babbling together about Obama, BBC and the Grasshopper and off we go…..OK, the guy appears to resigns on line...that too...:)<br/> We had a quit interesting 5 days but I did not feel like reacting on line, just wanted to follow what was happening<br/> on the Internet . But now a short first reaction.</p> <p>Here it is:<br/> I am not a guy.<br/> I am not an amateur journalist, although I like the term.<br/> I like Steve/Adam he is the best sport and a very funny likable guy and no, I did not knew him before I filmed him. <br/> Yes, I did run in to him by accident the next morning and very happy I did, otherwise I would feel guilty.<br/> Yes I would have liked other movies to explode like this one, but you guys don’t even look at “Hardnews crying”(part 2) and I think that one from Steve is really brilliant.<br/> No, I do not feel sorry I did this. Nor is Steve/Adam. We both thought “it was a bit scary, very funny and a textbook lesson in the new media”. Just quoting….<br/> So now watch the other movies from our site…..they are lots of fun!</p> maartje nevejan http://www.couscousglobal.com/id/176 ARTICLE news
