In an attempt to mock the social political atmosphere we live in today of fast food celebrities, it occured to me that we could make anyone famous...So...

We're going to make someone famous.

We're going to take someone out of their field of expertise and expose them to fame.

This is a three step process:

First step? Hype.
How shall we proceed? Photoshop!! Once photoshopped we can draw upon a common theme of epicness for people to cling to. A meme.

Second step? Introduction.
After photoshop has risen his identity to the world..

Third step? Hype.
Chuck Norris epic stories!

Lets shout out at the fake celebrities by showing them real heroes who should be celebrated.

This guy is so epic, I don't even need step 1 and 2.

I hear this guy trained Chuck Norris - and beat him up when Chuck got all conservatardy.

Is this some random guy or a friend of a friend. Either way it sounds like a cool experiment - so I'll do my part.
How famous do you think he can become? There a thousands of people out there promoting themselves 24/7 on the internet and through face to face networking. How Do you plan on catapulting this guy to fame - what medium? Youtube? Twitter? Facebook? or simply by dropping his name in every forum we come across on the web.

Among all the shots he's in there in quite a few.

Here's mine (First a little background on the character)

Toronto Fire Chief William Stewart has been named Full Time Fire Chief of the Year by the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC).

The award was announced at the closing ceremonies of the CAFC's annual Fire-Rescue Conference in Whitehorse last night.

Chief Stewart is 36-year Fire Services veteran, having served in the former City of York Fire Department prior to amalgamation of the City of Toronto on January 1, 1998. He heads the largest Fire Services in Canada and fifth largest in North America, with 82 fire stations and over 3100 personnel.

Among his many responsibilities, he has served as a member of the Professional Standards Setting Body, Ontario Fire College, in the review of all standards for firefighter training in Ontario; is Chairman of the Fire Apparatus and Equipment Committee, Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada; is President of the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association; International Association of Fire Chiefs/National Fire Protection Association; and is the International President Elect of the Institution of Fire Engineers.

Incoming CAFC President Bruce Burrell, Fire Chief of Calgary, congratulated Chief Stewart and noted "On this, the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, we are particularly pleased to be able to recognize as Fire Chief of the Year, a man with such impressive credentials in Canada and the world."

There are almost 3500 full-time, composite and volunteer fire departments across Canada, with over 108,000 firefighting personnel. Volunteers comprise 91 percent of departments and some 77 percent of personnel.

The Chief tried growing a beard once, but it was too scared of his mustache to stick around.

Fire engine hoses are modeled after the Chief's "spigot."

The Chief doesn't own a fire extinguisher, his chins are all the fire prevention he needs.

What happened to this? Any momentum?
I think we've been going about this all wrong.

I think i figured out the formula to make this successful:

( Extremely embarrassing moments + Video ) 4chan = Internet sensation
