No kidding. I'd rather have the money.

Too bad he didn't invest that $67,000 instead.

Cute video. I thought for a second that the story was actually true. Nice use of 'archival footage' to achieve the effect. Going to b&w for all of the footage helped to bring all of the types of color together into an even, well, gray.

Good, onion, try,

Looks like edited clips of the comedic "Gilligan's Island." A cute spoof, but far from believable.

D-uh.

Why do people waste their time making garbage like this? If you're going to go to the trouble of pasting clips together, at least make it humorous.

Clever idea. Needs some editing to cut the time about in half. I realize they were working with the length of the music, but it dragged. Keeping it crisp and faster paced could "rescue" this bit of spoofery.

Lol, nice re-cut.

I was disapointed to say the least. For a minute I thought there actually was a lost episode.

Being a fan of Lost, I thought it was pretty good.
