The latest installment of The Website is Down finds Chip Morehead having a bit of an issue with... everything. Those of you working in call centers in Mumbai should find some tips on how to communicate with your far off (and pissed off) end users. Just talk slowly and clearly and tell them nicely where to put it. Everyone else, try to peel back the facepalm far enough to see the action.

Enjoy.

Well it was quite a day at Plastroltech... Chip finally snapped and we caught it all on security camera footage.

This is the remix.

I posted it on Break because that seems to be the home of retarded remix videos.
Keep your eyes peeled for the original video (un-re-mixed) to be posted at thewebsiteisdown.com in a few weeks.

Remain calm.

I was just notified this morning that The Website is Down: Sales Guy vs Web Dude has officially won a Webby in the Viral Video Category! We're psyched! Thanks for everyone who has enjoyed and passed on this video!!!! You really made it viral.

I'm trying to decide if I can afford to attend the Award Gala... I think I know what my 5 word acceptance speech would be. Something to do with 'arranging'.

THANK YOU

Josh and the rest of the Website is Down cast

Apparently I'm an Auteur now... or at least this online magazine says so in their interview of me:

In other news we are getting the pants beat off of us in the People's Voice Webby Award voting by a 'Puppy Cam'! We were in the lead for about a day and then they sent the word out to their international network of puppy fanatics and all was lost.

Ah the Internet.

In yet other news... we're working on a new episode but I'm having trouble finding someone with an Indian accent to be in the video. Anyone?

The Website is Down: Sales Guy vs. Web Dude has been nominated for a Webby Award in the Online Film and Video - Viral category! Woohoo!

The entry is eligible for the People's Voice award. If you like the video please vote for it at: Webby People's Voice Award. Look for our video in the Viral section. Thanks!

In other news we're going to try to get a new video up quicker than last time! Seriously we're already working on it!

Thanks for your support.

Well you probably have noticed that the new video "Excel Hell" is up on the site. To those of you who've never been here be sure to check out the various gadgets and random content hidden in the site. For everyone else... welcome back!

The website seems to have survived the initial rush of views so hopefully we won't have any more downtime. If the site is slow or down then you can use these outside links:

YouTube
Blip.tv
Break

And don't forget to buy a MILF308 popup player for $1! You can support us and mess with your co-workers all at the same time!

Also due to people requesting it we've added a 'Donate' button on the lower right side of this page. This site is and will remain free so don't feel obligated to give us money but if you have a charitable streak then we certainly would love your support. Thanks!

Enjoy!

Just a quick update to let you know that we're working on a new video! Additionally you can look forward to a fun little tool we like to call the 'Plastroltech SalesGuy Simulator'. Lots of easter eggs and goodies will be coming your way soon! If you haven't already had a chance, click on the 'Unix' icon on the right side of our homepage and play with the Unix simulator. Yes you can reboot the server :)

So the video has passed the million viewer mark! Actually I know it's less than that because our stats only show how many unique requests for the video we've had but don't show if the whole video has been watched. But it's still getting up there! Thanks to everyone who has watched it and passed it on! We are going to make more, don't worry. But we need a little time for this one to calm down. Thanks for all the suggestions and offers to help. And the 'Can't arrange by Penis' desktops are hilarious. Keep it up.

I've seen some places where our video has been reposted or embedded on various websites. This is fine with us as long as it is posted in it's entirety and with the credits. Unfortunately someone has posted a version on break.com where the credits have been removed and it is named "IT Guy Deals With Dumb Employees". While we love the fact that it's so popular, please don't edit our video. We worked hard on it and we'd at least like credit for what we made. If you see it posted without credits or with misleading credits or description, please notify the site admins.

Thanks!

The Website is Down is now on a Content Delivery Network: Bitgravity. Thank you guys for making this video available...
