Hi everybody on the list !
Sorry about the off-topic message, but giving the nature of the message and the nature of the list (after all, everybody here uses Internet or develops for web in some way), I decided to post this here and see what you guys think about it.
My gut feeling is that you are being taken by some fairly amateurish viral marketing, and that you've played into it by uncritically regurgitating the message onto these mailing lists. Googling "Dylan Pattyn" yields only references to this very video and a site for a performance art/activist group called IPower, which boasts such "projects" as "an suicide-awareness campaign disguised as a personal suicide blog", a self-described "online stunt" called "40,000 Blowjobs", and a "wacky online reality series". Really, do you honestly think that Time Magazine would use a twenty-something freelancer, who has never published anything in any major periodical, to break a news article that would at the least create a decade or more of anti-trust lawsuits? -- Tim Lesher <tlesher@gmail.com>
