I still think www.supergreg.com is wayyyy more funny than that.. but thats pretty funny, i cant wait to see some movies about him..
BUT - Supergreg is FAKE. Supergreg and several other "oddball characters" were made up by some PR firm who wanted to impress people by their ability to create a viral buzz. The problem is, they followed the Mahir formula exactly. Any dumbass knows that in order to be viral, it has to be DIFFERENT. I hate hollywood.
This kid is similar to Mahir, but different (and amusing enough) to get my attention. The plea for a girlfriend is also not an original concept, but coming from an 11 year old kid with a mullet, I get a big kick out of it.
