Exactly one week ago today, Young Will Gregg was introduced to the country because of his incredibly addictive YouTube video where he had an entire section of Broad St. hanging on his every move during the Phillies victory parade.

All of a sudden, the rest of the lame-o’s in the world have finally caught onto the greatness of that video and it has been showcased on TV around the globe the past few days. This week alone, the clip has been featured on practically every local news station in Philly, Good Morning America, and even Jimmy Kimmel Live! has gotten in on the “How big is Will?” fun.

But with all the commotion surrounding the most famous parade attendee who didn’t curse on live television, it seems as though people forgot where it originated. (Don’t worry, I’m here to remind you)

Okay, technically, it was first posted on YouTube. However, as is the case with the literally millions of nondescript videos uploaded onto the ‘Tube each day, it still takes the work of an astute blogger with the ability to promote said video before it finally takes off. And in this instance, that astute blogger would be me.

Before you start — I know what you’re thinking. “Waaaaaaaaahhh. Poor wittle bwogger got his feewings huwt because nobody will mention his shitty website on TV.” I hear you, I’d probably say the same thing. It’s just not everyday where Good Morning America replays an amateur :21 second video that was dug up from the YouTube trenches by a Phillies blogger with way too much time on his hands. Instead, these mutherfuckers act like you can just hop on your computer, type in dubbaewe dubbaewe dubbaewe dot YouTube dot com, and up pops a cute kid with mind control powers over a large group of Phillies fans.

I guess what I’m trying to say is… RECOGNIZE ME DAMMIT!!! HOW BIG IS MEECH?!!!??!

*sniff* *sniff*

After the jump, a feature on Will and his family from abc6 in Philly, and the video of his GMA mention…

For my own personal enjoyment, I think I’ve watched well over 200 total YouTube videos of the World Series celebration and/or victory parade. While most are horribly filmed wastes of time, there are some gems in there if you’re patient enough.

Take this one for example…

A young Phillies fan — I’d imagine he’s about 2½ — stood on the sidewalk of Broad St. near City Hall to get his picture taken. But when he raised his arms, the crowd around him erupted like he was the commander of cheering. With the little guy sensing he had an entire city block eating out of the palm of his hands, he tried to see how long he could keep ‘em going. Enjoy perhaps the coolest thing you’ll see all day:
