John Chow And Problogger Vacation Video
written by John Chow on September 3rd, 2007
First off all, I don’t know how 45n5 managed to get their hands this video that featured Darren Rowse and myself doing the hula. However, since it’s been released, I guess I have no choice except to release an official statement on it.
Official statement: This video is a fake. That is not me doing the hula. However, I can’t say for sure whether that is really Darren in the video.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
















Hehe, I was wondering if this linkbait will work. Nice job for 45n5.
Reply to this commentMost linkbait works, but this one is funny and cute
Reply to this commentyep, very funny, good thinking!
Reply to this commentJohn,
Reply to this commentyour blog is read by people all over the world, so please tell us the truth.
is it really fake? or is it real?
Yep another bit of creativity! And I’m sure there are people who are again left thinking “why didn’t I think of that”!
Reply to this commentYay, I can finally access John Chow again… My router was blocking this site and only this site for some reason.
On another note, I don’t ever think like that… “why didn’t I think of that”…
Reply to this commentWell they got a link from Johnchow.com. That has probably made it all worthwhile on its own

Reply to this commentI call shenanigans, that totally is you John!
Reply to this commentLooks like someone is talking about John again. This time they are calling him a ReviewMe Scammer. I know his review are harsh, but they should be used as a learning tool. I don’t really think he is a scammer. John I just thought you would like to know.

Honestly I don’t understand why he is biasing (actually i commented on his blog). I don’t like to offend people but this time i have to, ask, whats more stupid, his post or his haircut.
Reply to this commentNo, what’s more stupid ordering a review from John when you’re not ready or throwing yourself from a moving train?
Reply to this commentHe isn’t bias. He is giving his honest opinion. Whether he thinks it’s good or bad, he’ll write it as it is. How is he being bias, after all, the ReviewMe is meant to be a review done by him on the site that orders the review. I don’t understand why people think it should be positive reviews.
Reply to this commentI could of sworn John said no more linking to your own site in the comment section lol
Reply to this commentLOL this is just hilarious
Reply to this commentCan’t see, what format is that?
Reply to this commentditto, it’s not coming up for me either. And I really wanted to see John get his hula on!
Reply to this commentWorks fine for me.
Reply to this commentYeah, it works fine for me too. See if you guys have all the codecs and plugins needed to display the vid.
Reply to this commentI think it is in HCHD format.
HCHD = Hairy Chested Hula Dudes
Reply to this commentHahaha John,
your hips don’t lie
Reply to this commentAnd the truth isnt so pretty
Reply to this commentIt never is
Reply to this commentAnd neither does that grass skirt!
Reply to this commentIf only someone would merge this video and John’s actual dance vid together lol
Reply to this commentI have it from a good source that said the problogger in the video is real and the video was leaked as a publicity stunt for problogger.net
Reply to this commentcant view the video
Reply to this commentI didn’t see the video neither
Reply to this commentWeird because i saw the video and i still can see it…
Reply to this commentDitto
Reply to this commentOh come on John, confess that thats you doing the hula, after all you are a good dancer …as said, you got Caught
Reply to this commentYou obviously have some hidden talents. Perhaps you are in the wrong field.
Reply to this commentThere’s nothing very hidden in those outfits!
Reply to this commentLOL - nice coconuts John!
Reply to this commentI’m surprised it took this long before someone left a comment along the lines of “John’s got a lovely bunch of coconuts”!
Quality!
Reply to this commentHave you seen any other videos on jibjab?
Reply to this comment“So you think you can dance” finally has competition.
Reply to this commentJohn you’re very hairy.
Reply to this comment
that’s kinda mean!
Reply to this comment…but true
Reply to this commentHahaha… really funny video. lol
Reply to this commentOMG! Where should we put the dollar bills.
Reply to this commentIn a fund to get them dancing lessons.
Reply to this commentYou can be creative… :p
Reply to this commentPut the dollar bills away now - you’re scaring me!!
Reply to this commentFake yeah right, that is some top class video editing if so
Reply to this commentlol!!! That was great, just remember to invite me next time.
Reply to this comment…….
Well that woke me up.
Reply to this commentSorry John - but that is definitely you in the video. I think the Problogger guy is a fake - there are far too many hairs on his chest.
Reply to this commentHow do you know how much hair problogger should have on his chest…or John for that matter?!
Reply to this commentThey are so hairy indeed and why do they keep rubbing their rich man bellies.
Reply to this commentHAHAHA This comment made me laugh and almost fall out of my chair.
Reply to this commentIndeed very hairy for an asian of all things. Most asians have very few body hair lol.
Reply to this commentHey - I am only guessing. I definitely had no part in this video - honest!
Reply to this commentBTW, John your new theme is designed by Unique Blog Designs. But the link is not accessible. I don’t know is that my problem or not, but I can access very website expect http://www.uniqueblogdesigns.com.
Reply to this commentLOL doing hula ?
Reply to this commentDon’t be shy, john. Face it. :d You and problogger are making a very good team. Can you teach me how to dance hula?
Reply to this commentThe 2 of you have never looked so good together!
Reply to this commentOr funny
Reply to this commenti can’t believe that both of you went to the beach together? anything between you guys? hahaha
Reply to this commentWhat a well practised choreography!

Reply to this commentI assume this wasn’t the first time you two danced this dance?
Lol, but isn’t that what you do over the summer anyways?
Reply to this commentThis video gives me the creeps!
Reply to this commentI finally got it to come up.. that’s some funny stuff! hahahahahaa
Reply to this commentThat’s so funny
Reply to this commentI know you have a fetish for Pina Coladas so I would hate to find out what happened to the milk in Darren’s…umm…Coconuts…
Reply to this commentAh man come on! You’re making me feel sick!
Reply to this commentI’m making you feel sick? I’m making me feel sick!
Reply to this commentGreat link bait… I need to start thinking along these lines…
Reply to this commentthat’s funny… you’re looking a little pale there John
Reply to this commentThanks for the laugh! lol
Reply to this commentJohn, this video is a really shameful way of replacing the money you’re going to lose on your reviews. I think you should bring back the “buy me a beer”.
Reply to this commentOr “buy me a shirt”
Reply to this commentlmao. Genious.
Reply to this commentThat is one of the funniest things I have seen. I wouldn’t admit that it was me either!
Reply to this commentcome on John - you know it’s you. Shooting that clip was the highlight of our vacation!
Reply to this commentLOL You should do a better job of pretending to be Problogger. He has his own avatar and surely he wouldn’t doing a typo on his own domain name (and no, I didn’t click on your link to figure that one out).
Reply to this commentactually I am Darren from ProBlogger - not sure where my avatar went. Not sure how to prove it - but it’s truly me

Reply to this commentin fact I’d have thought the spelling mistake proved it
the badly types URL must have triggered not having the avatar work.
Reply to this commentIt was a marketing strategy!
Reply to this commentA thought came to mind after watching that but I won’t say it. Disturbing though… [shudder]
-Raymond
Reply to this commentGreat….now I can’t get the hairy belly image out of my head…argh
- Raymond
Reply to this commentLOL wtf @ that video. someone has too much time on their hands.
Reply to this commentjohn everyone has all these exclusive vidoes that you seem to forget or get their hands on - whats going on. you forgot your own video interview with me and now you are mad someone found this exclusive video of you.
Reply to this commentThat is realy excelent video and I just had to visit the site…. so also good link bait
Reply to this commentExcelent… I have to send me dancing with my wife and send it to my friends.
Reply to this commentI think the most disturbing part is where John is rubbing his breasts!
Reply to this commentSorry John, I will actually have to say, that video was scary…
Reply to this commentLOL
Darin
nice video…..
Reply to this commentEheh that is pretty funny. I love the jibjab.com guys, it’s great they added that feature video.
Reply to this commentevil caught on paparazi eyes

Reply to this commentnice video but whats 45n5 ?
Reply to this commentLOL! That’s funny
Was it faked manually, or has someone set up an awesome service we can upload heads too, and it’ll put them into the full vid animated properly like that? If not, someone go do it!
Reply to this commenthaha…lol…this is awesome!
Reply to this commentBusted!
