There is some pretty good facts to suggest that JK Wedding Dance was not an organic ‘viral’ growth.

That’s a good point to make, Julian.
The YouTube segment was shot at the Google Creative Sandbox. Annoyingly, it was just a day or two before it emerged that although the JK Wedding Entrance video itself appeared genuine, there seemed to have been a lot of work put in, very possibly by a music company, to make sure it went viral. I’d have loved to have asked Jay about that.
Cheers,

On the subject of infectious music – I for one hope it will it soon be possible to have the ‘Mumbo Report’ theme-tune available as a mobile ringtone download.

Tim, please don’t say ‘advertisements’ again. I hate that word. They’re ads. Advertisements is just so….rebarbative 😉

Tim, your site is great, but you need a new host for the Mumbo report..
Sorry, but there are some issues with your presentation – makes it hard to watch..
Don’t publish this… just wanted to say that the CONCEPT is great, but i think you should look at someone to do it for you?

Agree w/Jenni and disagree w/James.
Tim’s on the money with this – sure it’s not slick. But aren’t we all a little sick of slick shtick? It’s real, moves and is interesting. More’n I can say for much TV…

Tim is great! Just give it some time for the format to be worked on and sink in. I think it’s great that the video length is shorter now.

Whoa! I have to weigh in here.
James couldn’t be more wrong. Tim is more perfect, as is anyone who succeeds in being themselves.
Work in TV James?

I’d have to say I agree with James, you just look so uncomfortable. Maybe you’ll grow into the role just as Top Gear (UK) presenters did.

James, give it a break mate! Timbo is doing great!
What kind of feedback is – ‘There are some issues with your presentation – makes it hard to watch..’ you do not actually bring anything up worth fixing.

Don’t listen to the haters Tim. I think you are very entertaining. More presenters should focus on being themselves instead of trying to fit a predictable mold. Besides, they’re just jealous they don’t have their own hit YouTube show.
