Interesting article in the
New York Observer about the guy who created the Bill O'Reilly Dance Remix. It begins:
On the morning of Wednesday, May 14, Torrey Meeks, a 25-year-old freelance writer and producer in Las Cruces, N.M., rolled out of bed and checked his various Web pages. “Unbelievable,” he thought to himself. “This thing is blowing up.”

For the next several hours that afternoon, the young producer meticulously spliced together the video of the tirade with an audio mash-up, by an equally amused fellow Web user, that set the series of invective to a thumping dance anthem.
Just before going to bed, Mr. Meeks posted “Bill O’Reilly Flips Out—Dance Remix” on YouTube, along with a link to his MySpace page.
Mr. Meeks produces an Internet show called “Fail,” about the iffy professional ventures of two stoned slackers. A typical episode might get several hundred views.
By Friday afternoon, visitors had watched his O’Reilly Remix more than 600,000 times and traffic on his site spiked.
