People who inadvertently starred in Youtube videos that got huge are the child TV stars of the internet, their lives defined by some awkward, emasculating moment. So it goes for the "Numa Numa" guy.

Every year, we at Beloit College publish a "mindset list" to identify the worldviews of the year's entering college freshmen. The "class of 2029" refers to students entering college this fall, in 2025. Most of these students are 18, which means they were born in 2007. For them, Anna Nicole Smith, Steve Irwin, Ray Charles, James Brown, Saddam Hussein, and Robin Williams's career have always been dead.

Beloit College has released its annual list of ways to make you feel old: "facts" about the generation now entering college, like "Rap music has always been mainstream" and "Dilbert has always been ridiculing cubicle culture." The old biddies at our sister blog Jezebel compared notes on their out-of-touchness; I'd like to remind any kids in the audience that they're not immune. In twenty years, we'll read, "The class of 2031 has never said 'Thanks for the add.' The iPod has always had a phone. What's 'Numa Numa'?" (Damn, these are fun. Got one?)
