Last week I produced a video with the online division of Fremantle (the company behind American Idol) for Super Tuesday. We came up with the idea and shot it in a day - so definitely my most guerilla viral video ever. Special thanks to Stevie Ryan, YouTube's littleloca and host of CW's Online Nation, and Jessica Rose, the original lonelygirl15 and regular on ABC Family's GREEK, who star in the video as well. Hopefully we'll have more for you soon! Check out this video: Atomic Wedgie - Super Tuesday With 3 Hotties
