Remember my? The WSJ wrote an article about unboxing videos and featured my video (with a color photo in the newspaper). Unfortunately, you need to be a paid subscriber to read it online, but you can watch this video report for free and see the scans below.

Shame you didn't get the "pencil-drawn face" image that so many WSJ articles contain.

Congrats!

Cheapy, why can't you be on the front page on a periodical I read, like Juggs, Guns and Ammo, or Scientific American?

J/K. Congrats!

It might be less than legal, but how about some screenies, or even an archived version of the page?

My office hangs the front page of the WSJ in the men's restroom because they think it makes us look "sofisticated." So be proud in knowing that people will be staring at you while urinating all day! Congrats!

I don't think that's all they're gonna be doing while staring at CheapyD in a bathroom.

Now G4 will be calling back anytime about "uh, that Man in Japan reality show you mentioned", but this time you'll be the one passing. Let them drown in The Jamie Kennedy Xperiment reruns and adverts featuring doughy pasty-faces pretending that they can even program their TiVo, let alone a game.

At least the tagline doesn't say something like:

Serial killer David Abrams (seen here in a Youtube video) has been on the run from authorities since his 14th victim was discovered last summer.
