When A Puppet Making Fun Of You Becomes More Important Then You

I have been a big fan of Loren Feldman for a long time. I think like 2-3 years ago when I did my first video post I was throwing him shutouts. Of all these people who "keep it real" Loren is the real mother frickin deal. The first time I met him in person he was calling out Robert Scoble at blogworld something like "Hey Bobby I bet you spend a fortune on your editor for your videos getting rid of those double/tripple chins". Last winter Loren introduced the Shel Israel puppet. Now I had/have absolutely NO CLUE who Shel Israel is but I thought the puppet was pretty funny. Then the puppet started interviewing people. Now the Shel Israel puppet has all the A-listers lining up for a interview. Check out the latest one with Digg creator Kevin Rose: The puppet has interviewed the who's who of Silicon Valley including Jason Calacanis and Michael Arrington. Its not the first hit Loren has had and I am sure it wont be the last.
