The folks over at the Social Media Club blog bring us the story of a man - a regular Joe - who defeated Superman. Or he outed Superman as a dirty YouTube cheater, at least.
The man in the YouTube video claims that some people working to promote “Superman Returns” threw some video footage up on the ‘Tube and then magically that YouTube channel had more than 7,000 subscribers. Strange, YouTube’s “oneparkave” points out, because it seems this channel has more subscribers than collective video views.
This guy’s video, his effort to contribute to the good side of social media, is great. It’s a little dull, and he could have used a light behind the camera, but it’s great. It shows the raw, sincere power of a simple digital video and a true message.
This guy didn’t edit out his couple of stutters. He didn’t reshoot after his wife/girlfriend/sister/mom (probably mom 
yelled in the background. He just did his thing and expressed his frustration with the sheer lame-itude of the Superman pushers.
This is sad, and just another item on a long list of corporate screw-ups in the social media realm. Fake blogging from Wal-Mart (via Edelman) and McDonald’s - and god knows what else - and now Superman is cheating on YouTube. What’s next? Bono faking a blog from a starving village in Africa while swimming in the bright blue waters of the Carribean?
