I hate to be a party pooper but the most popular voicemail Dimitry the Stud is fake, hoax, staged, and not real! I don’t know how many people already showed me this YouTube video and blog posts… I am tired to tell everyone that the guy who stay behind Dimitri the Stud hoax is James Sears who call himself Dimitri the Lover and run a website with the same name. He lives in Toronto and used to work as psychiatrist but in 1994 he lost his licence. Now James call himself a pick up expert and sell books and advices for guys who want to be successful with women.
For those who never watched or listened Dimitry the Stud I’ll remind, in 2008 blogs and social media sites posted recordings of the voicemail from a desperate guy name Dimitri who called girl Olga after she gave him her business card in the bar. In the first message Dimitry tells that “women approach him 6 or 7 times a day, but Olga is the one who got unique opportunity to meet him and let romance to begin”, in the second message Dimitry is getting really upset that Olga never called, he set a dead-line to call him back, tells her that she might have passion aggressive disorder, explain that he is a great “catch” who is great in bed. I mean, there are a lot of creeps out there and i guess most girls met guys like this in their life experience. Dimitri the Stud seems realistic, you need to hear: Read more to hear fake voicemail

From one side, it is a blog where you want to see every photo and read every post, but from another side it makes you realize ”OMG, we live in this country!”. My favorite shot is a photo of some redneck who shop in Walmart wearing “While You Were Reading This… I Farted” t-shirt.

Fictional sales woman Flo in Progressive Insurance commercials became recognizable character in United States. Many people find it pretty funny, others find her annoying and even created groups on Facebook called Progressive Insurance Commercials Aggravate Me, FLO MUST DIE!!!, or I hate Flo!!!
