What does it say about our country that our best viral video exports are usually bogans? I’ll leave that argument for another day.

Turns out though that we may have been had. According to Mumbrella, Clare Werbeloff is working for PR agency The Project, who specialize in youth (or should that be yuuf) marketing. There’s even picture evidence. More here.
