Just spent a fascinating two minutes watching DirectorKevin Smith's Mooby Clerks 2 MySpace reach 10,000 friends.
As you probably know, Smith offered to incldue the first 10,000 friends registered on his MySpace site in the credits of his new movie, Clerks 2.
Some idiot set up a fake site, drawing off hundreds of fans earlier in the day. I even fell for it for about five minutes until I did a search and found the real Kevin Smith page, and quickly changed friends.
I made it! Clara Chandler will appear in the Clerks 2 credits! How fun!
Out of curiosity, I checked Kevin's profile at 10:59 tonight to see how many friends he'd gained. 9769. Wow. That's damned near 10,000; bet it'll sky-rocket now. I refreshed the page. 9944 at 11:00 straight up.
I waited fifteen seconds. At 11:00:15, the number had jumped to 9970. Better not wait till 110:01, I thought. I held my breath and refreshed at 11:00:30. Just fifteen seconds... and the numbers had soared to 9987!! I refreshed five seconds later and saw Kevin Smith had gained 11 more friends. His friends list stood at 9998 at 11:01:35.
Knowing there was no way I'd catch it at 10,000 even now, even if I immediately refreshed (which I did), I smiled knowing that 10,000 folks will be watching Clerks 2, squinting and yelling out "There's my name, dude!!"
11:01:45, and Kevin Smith's Mooby Clerks 2 Friends List stood at 10,007. That's beautiful, man.
