There's a guy named Ed Bassmaster that makes YouTube videos. Basically he has 5 different characters that go out into the real world, act ridiculous, and make people feel uncomfortable. He exploits people and their embarrassment in a Borat-type way only he's not as funny. For instance he goes into a Walmart and talks to a woman about camping equipment but speaks mostly gibberish mumbled together with a few real words. The result is not exactly hilarious, we just see a confused employee genuinely struggling to try to help this man. However, Ed Bassmaster works full time for YouTube. He has enough fans and enough independent video making gusto to make it his career.

Ed Bassmaster recently received a call from Sean Penn, who had seen his videos on YouTube and really enjoyed them. As a result he flew this guy out to L.A., put him up in his personal guest house, and set him up with a meeting with Ben Stiller.

This is exactly why I want and need to follow my own path with this stuff. It's why I have to work hard, do quality work, and then put it out into the atmosphere. Heads it is, people.
