I was playing with my little nephew & the kid's show Yo Gabba Gabba! was on. I don't know too much about it other than the human beatbox Biz Markie has been on there.
On the episode that was on, there was a crazy lady teaching a wacked-out dance.
Because of my encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture & Internet memes, I recognized her as the "Keeper of the Gem Sweaters" herself, Leslie Hall.
My Mom didn't believe me that it was actually a woman & was pretty much weirded out by the whole scene... while I was laughing my ass off. (My nephew just kept on playing with his trucks.)
I've mentioned Leslie Hall before when her & other eccentric Internet personalities became advocates for Net Neutrality through classic PSA clips:
Even though her character & 'fashions' that she exhibits are borderline grotesque, I find her to be entertaining in an oddly hilarious way.
If you can handle it, she's also got a Youtube page of pure ridiculousness.

We Are The Web & Net Neutrality
I saw this wacky picture of 3 internet celebrities: Tron Guy, Leslie Hall, & Peter Pan.
The picture is for a website wearetheweb.org that advocates for Net Neutrality. I would highly recommend clicking on "Celebrities" & watching the Tron Guy.
It's weird how the internet & other mass media is giving rise to so many 'personalities' that become fairly well-known. Andy Warhol's quote "In the future, everyone will be famous for five minutes" looks more & more visionary since the rise of the web.
South Park had a typically awesome episode with a bunch of internet celebrities fighting each other. Speaking of which, the director's cut of the classic Imagination Land episode will be on Sunday.

Internet Crazy People
Andy Warhol's idea that "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes' continue to be proven more & more visionary.
I was watching The Angry Internet Preacher, Don Vincent, get a deserved "Web Redemption" on Tosh.0.
His 'Spirit of Truth' video is one of my all-time Youtube favorites.
While looking on iambored tonite I came across this video of the crazy Leslie Hall, another one of the Internet's resident freaks. She is completely out of her mind, but I find her to be hilarious.
More recent Internet celebrity Antoine Dodson seems to be trying to capitalize on his instant fame. He's doing the right thing so far and trying to get his family out of the hood by being positive. Besides being the source one of the greatest viral videos ever made, now hopefully he can make a few bucks off of it.
