Here is the cautionary tale of a guy from New Jersey who made the grave mistake of uploading a clip of himself lip-syncing.

I found the article's text on Lexis Nexis. I'm sure any of you library types out there can access this through many of the databases you have access to.

Here is a link to an article on MSNBC about the video.

Here is a history of the song that is used in the video.

Finally here is a link to the video itself.

I just found the article on Lexis Nexis and now can't wait to watch the video - but I'm in class... It sounds intriguing.

Yeah, my first valid comment, other than my tests. :) Glad to hear I'm getting you through a class. And that you have access to Lexis Nexis.
