Gleaming the Tube - LisaNova/FlamingLips Contest Revealation

[kind1002]

I can't believe it took me this long to see your video! I am Kind1002, the winner of the contest...the real winner....LisaNova was obviously a corporate plant/ shill....I was informed my video, and mine alone, was picked by Wayne as the winner, no mention of that no talent ass clown Lisa.....

The band treated me and my guest like gold that night.

Without re-hashing the whole thing, my take was: Wayne and company got roped into the whole LisaNova bit by Warners...

[1JCitron]

Bam! Bam! Ouch I think I just got the truth, Keep fighting the good fight.

[Davedio]

You misspelled "Revelation", bonehead.

[0PsycloneJack0]

insecure? what does that mean?

[FGSRFunLol]

Wow, what is it with LisaNova that she gets to get away with having everything rigged in her favor? Uhhhhhhhhh....

[1966Nicole1966]

great news stranger

[qwertypod]

ur jus jelous

[mim1988]

i knew straight away, i entered the competiton with my 'beans' video, we put so much effort in even wrote our own song!! it annoys me when bands do things like this but i know its more likley the record company forcing them to. i don;t think i'd enter again, waste of time.

[JAVerbatim]

Here again. Fav.

[TheeNews]

SA-WEET! You've just brightened my day sir!

[KennyWrites]

Interesting information, thanks!

[ATFSCrash]

It is amazing how gullible people are, so starstruck by such a selfish fraud. I think virtually everyone knows that Lisa violates the TOS by spamming. Whether or not it is a bot is irrelevant because it still is a violation to spam. The only thing that seems to matter if she is using a bot is that Youtube seems to allow it, despite it being against the rules. You tube also seems complicit in this alleged contest fraud. Yet the loyal worshiping lemmings still defend Lisa.

[ATFSCrash]

From what I understand Lisa SCAMbot is also a criminal. From what I understand, she tried to enter a contest even though she was an employee, that's a violation of law. If the claim is true Lisa and not only violated the TOS, but she violated the law.

Youtube is derelict and plays favorites and seems to be complicit.

[MartySchrader]

LisaNova, Warner, YouTube -- all scumbags.

[MagillaGorillaSctDic]

those FAKES are making us subscribers look like morons!

[BlatantCheater]

honestly, this is all ok, but in reality don't we all have enough drama in our lives? isn't it about time to clean your house or mow the lawn? get outside get some fresh air and enjoy life. instead of sitting in front of a computer all day revealing others. life is to short.

[GothicNights]

Interesting. She also gets paid by Google so there's something up with that. She seems to get away with a lot on here.

[johnnyhbobbyhi]

hi, I think that you are a great news teller....you keep me engaged with the subject matter! you rock! Achtung Baby lol

[DarkImek]

Your research is top notch. Amazing video man

5* and favorited.

[DeadCell79]

excellent video man. liked the intro aswell

[VioletKitty411]

Fabulous investigative reporting.  5 stars :-)

[HelloHater]

i think you need a newsdesk

[HelloHater]

This is dumb

[TrevorRiegerspambot]

Trevor Rieger uses a bot see my channel for proof!

[Swazi88]

Awesome!!.. its about time someone did this. I have been looking for a channel like this. thanks

[ResurrectionOfCG]

Informative. Thank you.

[Blue161]

katiesopinion sent me here - subscribing.

[TheeNews]

Thanks for the support!

[MysterEy1]

quite pertinent!

[redandjonny]

man...I entered that contest, and I had alot of feelings that something was wrong right when they had that "audition infront of wayne video"... I feel raped, used and Humiliated by The Flaming Lips. :(

[samtwist]

He clearly just doesn't want to have his mug plastered all over the site thats all.

[samtwist]

Fantastic new format! Love the title graphics it gives you a much more graceful air, rather than just a maniac in neckerchief! j/k.

In regards to Lisa winning the contest. I suspected this at the time, due to the obviously staged audition tape. But I had no idea exactly how formulated the whole thing was. I mean gawd he even did the 'Initial Contest Promo Video'. Shocking!

Once again Stranger. Well paced, laterally presented incite into the story. You are becoming quite the Donal Macintyre

[curt344]

It's sickening, of course, but not all that shocking.

THANK YOU for bringing this to light for those of us who otherwise would not have known.

[intosportz]

The best way to send Lisabot a message is to vote her DOWN in the SKETCHIES. All of this spamming and "blaming" the spamming on other YouTube stars is about getting attention to win the Sketchies. Let's all send her a message. Vote her DOWN in the SKETCHIES! You can vote every hour if you want. Today, July 11th is the last day to vote.

VOTE LISA NOVA DOWN in the SKETCHIES!

[angelhillcorp]

very nice work ... well done .. great dd

[JeffCaster]

Thanx for the Info.

[uncledave10]

I thought Katie didnt promote posters .

Why is his face covered ?

Are we suposed to care about what hes saying.

[TheeNews]

Yes.

[uncledave10]

Well I dont .

[AngryAussie]

At first I was going to say "a contest runs for advertiser's benefit instead of entrants - big surprise" but I think you've actually uncovered a breach of law. In Australia you'd definitely get them under fair trading laws for breaching the published rules - not sure about the US.

[VampireAlive]

Nice expose.

This has real potential.

[Filmnerd81]

and excellent expose by the way TS

[Filmnerd81]

Gleeming the Cube was probably the best skate movie ever made

[Blunty3000]

Nice work TS, I trust you'll keep this level of clear thought, honest facts and professionalism up. I look forward to more, which is why I just sub'd. Cheers. (though to be honest, my prior remarks about the ease of trusting a masked man are multiplied when that man is playing the role of newscaster, and that does make me a little uncomfortable)

[TheeNews]

Thanks for the sub... if the mask gives you a problem, just close your eyes and pretend it's radio!

[kirbystarball2]

weeeeee

[thepervertedprussian]

i love lisanova and i have 2 good reasons why...well one, if u think of them in pairs.

[Entwistle905]

I thought YT cheaters was the YTwatchdog's thing, damn no wonder why she spammed comments just wants to win easily, great points theestranger.

[TheeNews]

Either that, or the fix was in from the start. She claims the kidnapping/spamming vid she just put up was written BEFORE she started spamming, so this could have been a case of a YT celeb "winner" being hired to promote the "Hot Rod" movie.

[ThePerez88]

LisaNova did mention the script for this was written BEFORE the spamming, yet I was on Stickam, this being over a month ago, a few people who were there, among them Boh3me3 and TheHill88 and this spamming was briefly mentioned and as much of a liar Ben may be, he was speculating with the rest of us about this spamming, saying it was some bot and there was no indication of his involvement at the time.

[TheCryBaby]

Wow! Very informational.

[ShortbusMooner]

LisaNova is a scammer! :(

[Colinnnnnnnn]

Hay Victor sent me he said something about oweing dollars and buying time

[TheeNews]

Ha! Yeah Vic's good people... when he pays on time!

[coreypod]

i got blocked by lisa nova for asking her to stop spaming

[poopslingingmonkey]

I gotta catch this again later, I tried 5 times to listen, but my a.d.d. was in full-on afterburner mode...On thing that might have been covered, not sure, is if Lisa's video was submitted in good faith, and then Warner hired Feed to promote it (not that that negates your point, but Lisa might not have pre-meditated the promotion.)

[TheeNews]

It was most likely that Warner hired FEEDco., and they hired LisaNova's company. Her company edited the original contest video calling for dancers, so she was a part of everything before the contest was even announced.

I hope that made sense. I'm getting tired! Lot's of email.

[WednesdayRain]

BRAVO! I'm sick of her spamming all of my friends, so i blocked her before she could get to me...

[JimDandyofDallas]

great vid...shame on lisa

[Gimmeabreakman]

Good vid and good NEW channel! Sending out a bulletin now.

[trueloveromantic]

This is so true! Thanks for exposing the real story.

[snouter]

Great expose of the fake, phony, fraud LisaNova.

[SAVETHEWORLD911]

damn straight 5 fucking star's it's all the truth! GREAT JOB

[ChangeDaChannel]

Off The Hinges bro! Will give your new project a shout out! Really digging the investigative side of it!

[Pookieftw]

Nicely done. Yeah, there's definately been some questionable activity with the contests. Too bad though, it just discredits the sponsors and they lose business. Always better to keep it honest and straight forward.

[TheeNews]

Indeed. I just noticed she blocked Thee News from her channel so I think she's none to pleased with this story coming out the night before she wins the Sketchies contest by spamming the hell out of YT.

[JustA11en]

Great work TS. I will pass this along to my subs.

[theestranger]

Thanks a lot Allen!

[deadnights]

how you come across all this info is beyond me. great stuff though.

[0PsycloneJack0]

deadnights why don't you ask him then

[newbievids]

I will try & help thank you!

[theheathyfella]

Well done and keep up the good work.

[chrisinmainz]

YouTube is going down the tube...

[mothsoccer]

Great video bro 5 stars

[NewestNuma]

None of this would suprize me in the least. LisaNova uses the unfair use of Spamming, the unbelievable number of Comments that no ordinary human could do. Now it seems that the (Spambot?) is even smarter with a larger variety of comments to make it seem even more human and real. But the numbers of comments still suggest not. I believe we all should have the same opportunity and no one should have any ability one million times the standard user has. 5 Stars

[TheGreatDicktator]

Love the new format, Mr. Stranger! Also thanks for the information.

[jasonspeaks]

After my stint as YTA maybe I should add "Friendly Pro-tips" to TheeNews. Whaddya think Stranger?

[theestranger]

Yes, yes and yes!

[jebbi3]

HOLY SHIT A NEW BANDANNA!!! And, I featured this on my channel.

[TheeNews]

Awesome! Thanks for the support Jeb!

Yeah, I figured the old bandanna was a little too ratty to wear for Thee News videos.

[DaleATL2]

It's about DAMN TIME that ratty thing hit file 13! LOL

[theestranger]

It'll be around for a little while at least... but it's too old for this channel methinks.

[DaleATL2]

cut the chord man. let that baby go!

do i need to call Dr. Phil?!  LOL

[DaleATL2]

Hey thee, great opening sequence. Let's here it for the mega VHS camcorder! w00t! I did dozens of wedding vids with a rig much like that 1. CLASSIC!

Good job on the news. I am so pissed about the allowance of a YT partner to BOT everybody, that I can't C str8t! And I always worry about these big company contests being sleazy.

Oh, & U must have had a script off screen with all the info U ran thru. Did U have a mouse in your left hand? ;)

take it greasy!

Looking forward to the next newscast.

[TheeNews]

I had a tape recorder in my hand. I recorded the lines then snuck an ear bud under my shirt and the mask.

Maybe I should have taken broadcast journalism back in college instead of print media... would have made this a much simpler process!

[DaleATL2]

Actually that is a talent to be able to hear and repeat WHILE sounding natural.

Kudos!

[leafdude]

Very good stuff strange man. Awesome channel! Cheers!

[SpringDivers]

Looks like a winner. Good luck with the channel.

[XGreyViews]

Great job as always stranger. 5*

[Vegankjh]

So does this mean that all those 49/48 other people who made videos, didn't really have a chance to see the The Flaming Lips? That the contest was stitched up, between Lisa and her cronies/associates?

[TheeNews]

No, an actual winner (kind1002) was selected. However, they said that "we were unable to decide on a single winner like we had planned. SO, we picked two.", with LisaNova being chosen as the second "winner".

Since Lisa's production company appears to be responsible for editing the ACTUAL contest video, it would seem that appearing on stage was an additional perk for their work in promoting the contest.

[Vegankjh]

Well done, AGAIN theestranger.

[mothsoccer]

man love this new thanks theestranger :D

[sniperraynor]

Feels like, it needs a couch.

[krootasaurusrex]

Holy shit, way to start off TheeNews.

[TheeNews]

I just stumbled over the first piece of the puzzle, and everything just snowballed from there!

Thanks for the kind words Mike.

[TheBeeOBee]

li$a nova.

[Vegankjh]

Word!

[TheBeeOBee]

fantastic info man. i already love your channel.

[wtfwtfyousuckx]

Wow I dunno what to say I mean really. WOW -_-

[jebbi3]

God,I would be happy without all the frickin spam.

[Bcuz77]

Nice

[TheBeeOBee]

Congrats on the new project, Stranger!
