Fear and Loathing in cyberspace: The New York Times reports that Gary Brolsma is going through a rough time as a result of his near instant international fame following the broadcasting of his Web video "Dancer of the Numa Numa."

The Times writers are puzzled about what all the fuss is. Why is everyone watching Gary's performance? Come on guys—Gary is giving us a better performance than just about anything seen on Saturday Night Live since John Belushi. I wouldn't waste ten seconds watching American Idol, but I can't stop watching Gary. This young man brings an authenticity to his good fun performance that is rare in the finest of entertainers. I don't know what he was thinking when he did this—but God bless him!

The Times reports that Gary is down in the dumps, feeling humiliated perhaps by all the attention he's gotten. Gary, you've got nothing to be ashamed of. The world owes you a huge debt. The next time you go to work, dance across the parking lot and into the building. The world is smiling WITH you, not laughing at you.
