Hey Gary
My wife just emailed me the link to this article in The New York Times. Apparently the fame that has so recently descended on you from your iconic dance that we featured on these very pages, is a harsh mistress.
Gary, believe us when we tell you, you have nothing to hide or be ashamed from. You should be revelling in being, frankly, one of the coolest guys in America. Hell, they showed your video on The Today Show. You've made it. You've arrived.
The honest abandon with which you parody this song is of a time, a moment, that will live with us for many years. You are no Star Wars kid, no geeky internet guy - you are our hero.
And we're not the only ones - America loves you. The world loves you. Don't believe us? Then take a look at this.
Stand up, be proud, SALUT!
Yours Truly, The YesButNoButYes Editorial team - big, BIG fans.
(Ps The article in the NY Times say that Gary works for Staples in NJ. Last summer, the ad agency where I work pitched (but didn't win) the Staples advertising account. What a wasted chance! Whichever ad agency now handles Staples, listen very closely - pay this guy a SHITLOAD of money to appear in a TV ad that goes out next week. Show the guy wanting to be an overnight celebrity while he works there during the day, show him buying a computer and webcam from Staples, taking it home and...then show the clip with "Staples - That Was Easy". I tell you, you'd win AWARDS!!!!)
