The marketing team behind the upcoming horror flick The Last Exorcism is good, real good. Using ChatRoulette, they are tricking desperate boys everywhere into thinking a beautiful girl is about to strip right before their innocent widening eyes. Much to their surprise (their reactions are PRICELESS), the girl is not about to flash her boobs but instead scare the crap out of them! Genius viral marketing campaign, indeed. The Last Exorcism hits theatres next Friday.

In case you missed it… here’s the original video, Ben Fold’s rendition, and a poignant interview with the hooded “Merton”.
We’ve laughed at his original video and watched as Ben Folds (whom many thought he actually was) recorded an “ode” to him live on tour. Here we have an intruiging interview with the man known only as “Merton,” and in it we learn that he is not actually Ben Folds (bummer, I know), he has “awesome hair” hidden within the hoodie, and he’s currently putting together a bunch of new videos featuring more instruments. Well, what are you waiting for?

I bet you’ve all seen or heard of mystery man “Merton” who actually made Chatroulette’s existence something to actually take interest in (at least for a few minutes). He interacted with strangers by playing the piano, improvising his lyrics based on the stranger’s looks and actions. After this hilarious video made its rounds on the Internet, many started to believe “Merton” was actually musican Ben Folds. A source close to Folds denied this rumor. Fortunately Folds is a funny man at heart and decided to take hold of this opportunity. And so we get the video you see above: Ben Folds performing an “ode to Merton,” hoodie and all, in front of a live audience during a stop on his tour.
