Pollywood
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Ok, if you read this blog or listen to our podcast, you may start to think my sole ambition in life is to coin some kind of podcast catchphrase. Podywood probably wont make it, and neither will podlebrity, but the concepts are very real. What I’m talking about is these overnight sensations that are popping up all over the web. The Obama Girls, the Smoshes, the Soulja Boys. Now I realize that you all don’t call some of these guys podcasters because they dont have RSS feeds, but I consider it all podcasting, and I the people doing it are getting to be such big celebrities that there may soon be a market for podlebrity gossip.
If I had time, I’d love to put together a little podcasting tabloid… or podloid if you will, what discussed all the juicy news from the podoshere. I think it would be a lot of fun, but for now I really enjoy this show called viralcom that is capturing it beautifully.
This show is obviously a joke, but I think this is becoming a reality to some degree.There are already little union issues popping up regarding web clips, and the brains behind some of these Internet created celebrities are being singed on by the likes of CBS.It’s not unrealistic to expect that high schoolers today will grow up admiring people like KevJumba and HappySlip rather than Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Stay tuned… or shall I say stay tubed.
