Death Metal Rooster.

Your mileage may vary, but after half a dozen views I feel ready to break some chairs (in a most joyful way!).

The original is definitely worth a watch too.
(Thanks @david!)

I can’t stop listening to this. While it has a cheezy-bit or two, toward the end, around :54, it hits some kind of resonance that’s shudder-inducing.

It needs to be several minutes longer though:

Some months ago (or years?) there was a story on the interwebs about a couple of guys who played a long and elaborate hoax on one guy.

I would really like to find this, but I can’t seem to find any references to it.

Here’s what I (think I) remember:

- The guy the hoax was played on was contacted via a video game forum (he was young – maybe 17 when it started, 19 when the hoax finished)

- The hoax involved emails, mail, fake identities, etc.

- at one point the guy was flown somewhere and  led through some forest trail or something under the premise that he was saving the world

- the guy the hoax was played on had a great attitude about it — a quote from him went something like: “I had fun and would be available to save the world again if the need arises”

I’m pretty sure it was on Boing Boing…?

If anybody can find this on the web I’ll give them…um…I’ll send them a hand-drawn postcard. Is that enough bounty?
