I've actually seen that video before, and even <a href="http://gypsybandito.com/2007/06/15/the-end-of-first-life/"taget="_blank" rel="nofollow">posted it previously</a>. It's has a really interesting touch to it, though. I think that the Italian accent, moreover, adds a really interesting touch to how it's branded. Interestingly enough, <a href="http://gypsybandito.com/2007/06/26/type-casting/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow">using ethnicity to brand</a> is also something that I've touched upon before. Vikram,

And now more and more lawyers, accountants, financial planners, real estate, and health advisors (my clients) are doing so. It's great to see the democratization of owning our own reputations. The proliferation of the World Wide Web software and gadgets like the digital video & audio recorders have made personal branded-products a growing trend. WWJD? (After scolding those who use his name in ironically violent applications?) He'd then encourage his disciples to leverage their personal brands... cuz that's the kinda awesome guy he is ;) A mark of a true leader is a maestro -- one who leads leaders to lead greater. There's another viral video going around... proclaiming the future of social media taking over the way we live... <a href="http://www.viksblog.com/2007/06/15/a-personal-brand-new-experience/" rel="nofollow">click to view it on my PersonalBrandMarketing podBlog</a>.

I didn't realize, though, that I gave the impression that it either was about a second coming or had any shortcomings.

It actually wasn't talking about Jesus using technology in a second coming, but more of a "What if Jesus' first ministry happened in the 21st century instead of the 1st?" With that take in mind, it was a well done entry. One little clarification: that particular post was an entry in the Search Engine Marketing Scholarship Contest.
