I confess that I find this post, video and accompanying comments (via DM) one of the FUNNIEST EVER.

Yes, that’s right. Now go click, dammit.

Seriously, listen to this song. It’s brilliant: funny, lyrically clever, and topical.

Now I’m guessing that my readership is fairly small, and so the world won’t be hammering my server if I make it available for download (mp3, 3.4mb).

It’s from a show called Absolutely Fascinating, currently (as best as I can tell) playing in New York.

Backing up your data is a notorious pain in the rear, and many people never get around to it. It’s a very difficult sell, too: it’s like selling insurance. This is perhaps the best marketing I’ve seen from backup specialists (requires Flash Player 7, and better on broadband): http://www.backuptrauma.com/video/default2.aspx

As an aside, I wonder what the total cost of producing and hosting that video is, compared to a conventional marketing campaign. Consider also that, because of the humour involved, this video will be spread around exactly the people who form the target market. So it is probably a great deal more effective than a conventional campaign. Rather clever.

Someone is auctioning a well-appointed stick on TradeMe. You may also find the comments amusing.

Thanks to Dan for pointing this out.
