As I speculated in this post, Pauly Shore's racist diatribe a couple of weeks ago was all to publicize his new movie. The video above proves the whole thing to be a hoax (notice the quick flash of Stereohyped's Technorati page — we're famous!), with Charlie Murphy, Katt Wiliams, and Vivica Fox admitting that they were all in on the joke. Pauly Shore seems pretty proud of himself, but let's really analyze what he accomplished here. He got everyone to think he was racist and reaffirmed the generally held notion that he was an idiot, far fewer people will see this "it was all a joke!" video than saw the original, and, most importantly, there's still not a single soul who's actually going to buy his movie. Long story short — the world now thinks he's racist and Katt Williams is still more successful than he is. Well-thought-out marketing plan, this was not.
