Identity of ParkRidge47 YouTube Hillary, 1984 Video Parody

First read this if you're confused about "ParkRidge47". Then return to this posting. If you're not confused, read below.

So,

I did a little research and came up with who this ParkRidge47 username might be. The whole hype is about an unauthorized political ad video that was submitted on YouTube not too long ago by someone with the username Parkridge47. Senator Hillary Clinton's home town was Park Ridge and she was born in 1947, so that's a given but wait there's more.

I wrote and submitted the article, I think my logic is interesting. I also own the forum. What do you think?

1. I read the link. I saw no "logic" at all.

2. my opinion
okay. this video is all over the Internet and on every single channel. If you were parkridge47 wouldn't you buy parkridge47.com. The domain was bought yesterday. Remember, I'm probably wrong but that's a slight connection worth mentioning. Sometimes things are obvious.

11. Sounds more like a quick buck artist
I would have assumed that if the creator of the video wanted the domain, he/she would have registered it before the release.

The registar in question is a low cost high volume one...which supports that it is a quick buck artist.

3. I saw no logic, either
If you think it was a money-making endeavor, why not purchase the domain name 47Parkridge.com?

4. ParkRidge47 not 47ParkRidge
Because the username on YouTube is ParkRidge47 not the other way around. People want to know who ParkRidge47 is because that person created and submitted the 1984 Parody to YouTube.

5. possibly?
Most likely a money making endeavor you are possibly correct, but when you're trying to search for people online many people give themselves up by using their identity on the web. For instance, many people will use the same username "blablah2921" for various different forums and they might use blablah2921@gmail.com as their email.

6. eh, well sure
someone at bluerazor knows who registered parkridge47.com, but when you consider that this has been floating around for several weeks, why wouldn't it have been registered beforehand?

I mean you don't know that I didn't register it (and I certainly didn't make that derivative piece of junk video) right?

7. well...
You are correct that it's been around for a while, but it recently received recognition on the mainstream news. Listen, I'm not saying my story holds a lot of weight, but I'm saying there's a possibility.

8. the video
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 05:30 AM by washinfo89
Also the video is quite creative if you ask me. Of course, whoever didn't create most of it, but they did a good job on the editing and the idea is pure genius in my opinion. Sometimes people come up with good ideas and you have to give them credit and not just write them off and dumb video editors or whatever.

9. it's a hack hit piece
seriously, think about it. using imagery to claim that a senator well known on the Hill for listening to her constituents and building consensus on issues important to them is some sort of totalitarian dictator when we already have a wanna be totalitarian dictator in charge? and just think how awful it would be to have to listen to a shrill woman all that time. really.

10. So basically...
...someone bought parkridge47.com yesterday. But you actually have no idea "who this ParkRidge47 username might be." For all we know it wasn't even the same person registering the domain. I'm not sure what this is supposed to tell us.

12. It reads like a tinfoil hat piece. No proof, no trail, just a domain registration
