Filipino Comedian Returns on YouTube

Years after his death, a legend finally gets the global recognition he deserves. Weng Weng, a 2’9″ Filipino midget martial artist who played “Secret Agent 00” in ’80’s spy movie spoofs For Your Height Only and The Impossible Kid, comes back to life on YouTube. It’s a classic example of the read/write nature of the Web: at the same time YouTube is huge in the Philippines, Filipinos are huge on YouTube.

Eat your heart out, Verne Troyer.

YouTube: We’ll Rival TV Revenue in Four Years

Suzie Reider, Head of Advertising Sales at YouTube, writes a death note for TV advertising, postdated 3-4 years:

Asked how long it will take for YouTube to generate major revenues―in the billions―to rival television and other media, Ms. Reider, “It’ll take us three or four years, because none of us working in this area want to recreate the TV model. We’re not looking for 30-second commercial spots.”

She even announced the murder weapon. Find out what it is at Inside Online Video.
