AOL’s 15 Minutes of Fame Video

AOL released a clever video bringing together unwitting stars of three popular online videos.

Here are the videos that inspired the commercial:

• The “Some U.S.-Americans don’t have maps” gal, Miss Teen South Carolina
• The “Leave Britney Alone” guy, Chris Crocker
• The “Don’t Tas me Bro” college student, Andrew Meyer

As entertaining as it might be to see all these people get an additional 15-minutes of fame, it might be hard to measure the recall value to AOL. AOL News isn’t even mentioned until the end - sixty seconds in. I would argue that most people won’t even recall this video was for AOL News.
