[QUOTE=KneadToKnow] WTF is that guy’s problem? Is he high? I didn’t even find it funny so much as painful. [/QUOTE] My guess is something’s up with the prompter and he just isn’t all that good at improvisation. Near the beginning of the video he makes some comment about “it’s working”. Just a guess. ---

[QUOTE=petew83] [Gellieman - Aisha](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwQyo3agWak) [/QUOTE] There have been Internet rumours of Gellieman ending his life due to the exposure of that video. I can’t either verify or dismiss it, but it makes watching the video feel a bit awkward. There was a case in Sweden of the local Internet phenomenon Anton Maiden, who was found dead during a severe depression. I always thought his Iron Maiden covers were pretty neat, in an ironic and kitchy sense: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nt_Li44NcSk/hqdefault.jpg "Anton Maiden - The Trooper") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt_Li44NcSk) ---
