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.

Hehe, I was wondering if this linkbait will work. Nice job for 45n5.

John,
your 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”!

Yay, 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”…

Well they got a link from Johnchow.com. That has probably made it all worthwhile on its own :evil:

Looks 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.

DeboHobo said on September 3rd, 2007 at 11:16 am

No, what’s more stupid ordering a review from John when you’re not ready or throwing yourself from a moving train?

Reply to this comment
Steven said on September 3rd, 2007 at 2:50 pm

He 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.
