VIDEO: The French beat boxer and phone experiment

I have not posted any zany videos lately. Let's change that.

American Idol is a ratings force and there are many versions all over the world. On the French version, a guy impresses the judges by performing an amazing beat box session:

"Listen to him seamlessly go from Michael Jackson's Billy Jean to Usher Ya! When does he breathe?"

Then there is The Erin Brecht Phone Experiment:

This cute girl Erin is doing an experiment to see how many people will call her cell phone (208) 571-1289 if she posts it online. Do you think she has any idea whats about to happen? Lets all call her and ask her to be a Break girl of the day.

Make sure to check the comments beneath the video because folks are filing reports about talking with her.

Does this smell of an advertising scam? I'm thinking you call her and she'll just start talking about a product or web site. Why am I so jaded?
