This is a great recap of the Antoine Dodson meme.  Through media savvy, Antoine was able to turn a really awful event into a positive opportunity.  He gets my vote for Internet personality of the year, hands down.  Huge props to the Gregory Brothers for tracking him down and sharing their iTunes revenue with him.  Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out the marching band version of the Bed Intruder song— a cover of a remix of a local newscast.  Goddamn I love the Internet!
