This one won't be as hot as Susan Boyle, but it will probably still be around in a decade.



For those who don't get it, the person saying "You Suck" is none other than the new Battlestar Galactica's Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore. This short video comes from an episode of CSI, where Moore made a cameo as a rabid scifi fan at a convention. In the episode, a producer is showing fans a brand new, grittier "revamped" version of a 1960s scifi show "Alpha Quest" (fictional). The exact same thing happened to Mister Moore several years ago when he presented his new, grittier version of 1960s scifi show "Battlestar Galactica". At that time, Battlestar fans booed him off the stage and called his version of the show GINO - Galactica In Name Only. So its really funny that on CSI, he's the person actually booing off the producer!

There were several BSG/Scifi cameos including Grace Park (First humanoid Cylon to be revealed in BSG) and Kate Vernon (Final humanoid Cylon to be revealed in BSG). The episode was directed by long time BSG director, Michael Nankin, and the episode was written by BSG writers Bradley Thomson and David Weddle as well as Star Trek veteran writer Naren Shankar.

Just a few days ago, a new Internet Phenomena has been born. This phenomena has the potential of being bigger than Rickrolling. And the name of this new phenomena is called Susan Boyle. Susan is a 47 year old woman living near Glasgow. She rocked Britain when she appeared on television show, "Britain's Got Talent" just last weekend.

Naturally, web-savvy brits immediately uploaded the video to YouTube. This video alone has caused the name of Susan Boyle to spread like wildfire all across the world. Just last night, Susan's video had been viewed roughly 5.5 million times on YouTube. 20 hours later, that figure has grown to 11,382,020 views. Folks, that's an exponential growth rate.


I have seen her name mentioned on Twitter, Slashdot, Digg and even in Second Life. And as you can see in the figure above, the name is "Susan Boyle" mentioned in TEN PERCENT of all new blog posts in the past few days.

I have even heard rumors that Simon Cowell has signed on Susan. *shrugs* No idea if its true, but that is another indicator of how hot Susan is.
