I first heard about Super Greg from
the peeps at the PlanetShogo
forums. I think I saw the SuperGreg.com
site some months ago and just laughed it off like what the hell is that
anyway?! And then forgot about it. Then the other day (6/19/01) someone
posted a link to a site (under another url about super greg is back) where
someone (phaser of poundhouse.de which is gone now 1-21-2002) created a
clever flash animation using the quicktime movie from the main site. And
also some odd video game, DoomGreg. I and some others were wondering whether
it was for real or not. Was it some bizarre, twisted Mahir thing or someone's
idea of a bad joke?! Did this guy really think he was "Number One" and
did he wear that horrid outfit everywhere he went?! Believe it or not there
are those who thought it was for real! Besides me that
is. . . Why am I always the last one to find out?! 8-)
Ok so now we have the truth revealed about Super Greg, Numba One. Super Greg is no ordinary mortal
like Mahir. No. He is a "concept", an artificially created "viral" marketing
character for Lee Jeans! Believe it or not the same company that brought
us the inane, stupid and idiotic Buddy Lee are the ones who created Super
Greg. Apparently Super Greg is involved in a DJ spinning contest with Buddy
Lee. And stuff. Or something.
See the
ad .
Hmmm. Interesting commentary on America
(and probably elsewhere) from the Canadians. Well, I/we still thought
it was damn funny!!! And clever and creative. There you have it. Shocking
secrets revealed! Anyway in spite of this that didnt stop Kathy and I from
playing the flash thing for about half an hour one night clicking on the
buttons, playing the video game, and then watching the video from the other
site. We're victims just as much as everyone else! ;-P (please note that
the flash files may not work on Netscape so use IE!!!)
