Did anybody else notice the photo headlining the Chicago Tribune's website on Saturday, filling us in on the latest deal to stave off "Doomsday" for the time being? We instantly thought, "Hey, isn't that the Numa Numa Guy?!"

Here in the Chicagoist offices, we know all too well that Internet notoriety does not always equal chauffeured limos and Lear jets. So was that the Numa Numa Guy chillin' on one of Chicago's buses? Gary Brolsma's Wikipedia bio says he lives in New Jersey, so has he traded in Gothamist for Chicagoist?
Or does one of our fellow Chicagoans simply resemble the guy who created a web meme by acting like a damn fool in front of his web cam?



*yawn*
No, we the reading public thought immediately instead of Steven Page, he of Barenaked Ladies fame, who looks a damn sight more like the unnamed individual in the photograph than the Numa Numa kid.
Seriously LAME
I thought it was Frank Black.
My first thought was Patton Oswalt.
Anytime anything about the NumaNuma guy shows up, I can't stop laughing and have to watch the video all over again.
Thanks Chicagoist
All those fat white guys look alike.
what the hell is numa numa?
(I don't really want to know)
Chicagoist, I like your content for the most part. This was, as others have noted, lame.
i thought it was a great article! made me start laughing immediately!
