The Oatmeal is a site dedicated to hilarious comics about real life (and fictional) events such as What it’s like to own an Apple Product, The crap we put up with getting on and off an airplane, How to Pet a Kitty, Why I’d rather be punched in the testicles than call customer service, Winter 2010 The State of the Internet, and MANY more! He even has a book available for preorder called: 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides).

Well, if you have heard of the Oatmeal, THANK YOU! Anyway, with his Winter 2010 The State of the Internet comic, he mentions in it about the We’ll Be Back Shortly Tumblbeasts (renamed Tumbeasts) he made for them.

Then, with this tweet, he asked Tumblr to make it official for their site:

Dear @

Within an hour, it became official. Now Tumblr has something similar to Twitter’s Fail Whale so when they go down for another 24 hours, people can’t be completely mad. Plus, there is a nice backlink to the Oatmeal to keep you busy.

Due to all of this, the Oatmeal gets a spike in traffic!

PS. I fell into this the Oatmea case study…damnit.

Check it out: David on Demand. It is about this guy, David Perez. All he wanted to do is go to the Advertising Festival in Cannes. Leo Burnett, the 9th largest advertising company in the world agreed to send him only on ONE CONDITION. He has to do anything you tell him. When I mean anything, he really means anything.

This is a tattoo someone tweeted him to get. It is the amazing fail whale that we all have been seeing more and more lately. He also added two random twitter users name that tweeted to get their name on there. That is pretty fucking intense. Not just intense but, pretty fucking intense. This guy has seriously gone above and beyond to go here. What is also amazing is we get to watch every bit of it here David on Demand. Truly amazing. If you follow me on twitter, you will notice I have been tweeting a lot to him and yes, he has done most of it including giving a shout out to my forum, The Best Forum Ever! So, I definitely suggest you check this out and give him a tweet. Don’t be upset if he doesn’t do it right away. A ton of people are doing it as well, so you might have to tweet it a few times, but eventually he will do it or a variation of it. This guy has taken twitter and social media to a new level!

As for me, I  am going to continue watching him and see if he will tattoo Fat Tony69 and TheBestForumEver.com on him and if not, continue making himself look funny in Cannes. Check him out: David on Demand!
