History

[edit]

Williams started streaming online video in March 2005 on Newgrounds. He then developed a following by posting original music tracks to his Myspace, leading Myspace to sponsor him on a cross country tour.[1] In September 2005, Golden Palace Casino sponsored Williams, making him one of the first video bloggers to receive corporate sponsorship.[2]

Williams's video output includes music, sketch comedy and community building. As of October 2007, Williams's YouTube channel, smpfilms, has acquired over 30,000 subscribers and over 13 million video views. He is also a user partner of YouTube's first revenue sharing program.[3]

[edit]

In November 2006, he became the host of the first national TV show to spawn from video bloggers, called The FIZZ[4] on DirecTV channel 101 in the United States.[2]. The show features other popular video bloggers such as thewinekone, boh3m3, TheHill88, Digitilsoul, and many others. It airs daily on DirecTV channel 101.

Williams has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and MTV Scarred.[1]

"As One"

[edit]

Williams is the founder and West Coast American Event Coordinator of the international gathering of YouTube users dubbed "As One".[5] The first "As One" gathering was held in January 2007 in Hollywood, California; Williams's associated video went on to receive over 1 million views. The second gathering, held at Pier 39 in San Francisco, California[6], managed to attract many of YouTube's highest viewed users, YouTube employees,[7] and attention in mainstream press.[8] Notable YouTubers who attended include Caitlin Hill, Ben Going, Smosh and Paul Robinett, as well as Yousef Abu-Taleb and Jackson Davis, the actors who play DanielBeast and jonastko in the YouTube serial lonelygirl15.[9] Another "As One" gathering was held on July 7, 2007 in New York City. One is currently scheduled and November 2007 in Melbourne, Australia.[10]

SmpFilms

[edit]

YouTube fakelebrity Cory Williams (also referred to as Mr. Safety, but only by himself) is an Internet lolcow, a professional New media Parasite and a figurehead to a few YouTube Nobodies. Cory owns the Smpfilms advertizing channel on YouTube.

He lives in Central California, right near Salida/Modesto.

YouTube gave Cory Williams thousands of subscribers by featuring him on the YouTube homepage and on the YouTube Signup_invite page. They have paid and promoted him as well by making him a YouTube Partner. When the YouTube Community ignores Cory Williams he cheats using MySpace autoplayers and dummy accounts to create fake comments, fake ratings and fake views. Which is interesting, because Cory has a deep fear of Google search pulling up Wiki-Truth (like this article). Oddly enough, he uses the facade of respectability he has created on Google's YouTube to scam people into sponsoring him. His channel has become a neverending advert-segment. Welcome to the fucked up world of Smpfilms.

Help me...to help you!

[edit]

Mr. Safety polluted the Internet by branding a San Francisco YouTube gathering (February 2007) with his own "As One" logo and declared that from that day on "where two or three gather in my Name, there I am in the midst of them and deserve all the credit" - Cory 18.20. Noone wanted to go to to any YouTube meetups after that, since noone wanted to be just another chair-filler in a Cory Willaims advert.

In March 2007, NickyNik and Cory rehearsed for a skit on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, however, the staff of the Tonight Show decided to not use it at the time because it was utter crap.

Three months later (22 June 2007) Cory Williams was given a two minute pity slot on the Jay Leno Tonight Show where he babbled incoherently about his girlfriend and hats. NickyNik then snapped the kneeling Williams with a large elastic band whilst Cory told the unimpressed audience that he was a New Media Consultant.

Jay Leno's obvious "WTF is this Internet shit" attitude may have been down to 4chan.org having mercilessly Goatsed his online NBC forum for the previous 24Hrs as revenge for a failed attempt by Carson Daly (of NBC) to steal their Rickroll joke.

On April 1st 2007 Williams proposed to his girlfriend in a YouTube video. It is rumored that he intends to use the same attention-grabbing ploy again and video himself dumping her either sometime in September 2007 or earlier if he drops 5 places or more on the YouTube most subscribed list.

In a haze of weed-induced paranoia Producing101 got everyone already involved with organising 777 (known as the Committee) to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This dumb move stopped everyone involved talking to everyone else, both inside and outside of The Committee (since they had no idea what they could and could not say and were afraid of being dragged into e-court). This sudden and unneccessary silence made everyone claim that the Committee were an exclusive bunch of elitist bastards, and all the members of the Committee (except Nalts) were afraid to say otherwise because of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

When Cory Williams found out that he was too late to grab the easy money and free kudos that would go with being a figurehead for the New York gathering (and all the future YouTube gatherings as a result) he decided to try and kill 777 by arranging for anyone considered e-famous on YouTube to be half-way around the world in Australia on that day at a different "As One" gathering. Noone was interested.

At the invitation of The Fizz-backed Katiesopinion crew, Cory then tried to arrange a gathering in west Philadelphia (where Will Smith was born and raised, a place which, on the playground, Smith spent most of his days, and which, more pertainently, was only one hour's travel away from New York). This meetup was arranged for 30 June 2007, a week before 777. By doing so he hoped "As One" could steal the buzz from "iTube NYC" and cut the 777 attendance in half. Noone was interested.

Producing101 needed some money to buy a bus so he approached Cory Williams to see if DirectTV's "The Fizz" would front him at least some of the money. After private negotiations between Producing101 and Cory Williams, the 777 gathering became an "As One" overnight.

To seal the deal Producing101 organized the making (by the Committee) of one of the worst emo-bullshit-filled videos to ever hit the most viewed pages on YouTube (As One - NYC 777). The video was posted on 9 different YouTube channels at once and stirred up a shit-storm of epic proportions. The fact that both Nalts and Podcasting101, the people who had originally initiated 777 had been left out of the decision-making process and the associated failtastic 777 video caused a huge rift and eventually Flame wars between both the iTube NYC and As One camps.

Subject: RE: "Cory hopes we fail." - What?????

To: Jill <xgobobeanx>

Jill,

Karen and Joe were able to get back to me just fine and we were all on the same page (as far as they told me). The last time I was able to get contact with you was when we spoke on the phone, immediately after the meeting and I thought everything was cool. The reason I stepped down was because I was trying to take the stress off of the team... besides, I didn't stop helping, I just stepped down a rank... I was still doing the website and promotions (after the location announcement) like I said I would. I'm not bothered by the name change... I'm bothered because you assumed that I wanted you to fail and those kinds of assumptions are not very kind when you speak them to others. I have read an email were you stated that assumption to several other people, so you can't say you never said it.

You knew I was still helping you Jill... you knew I was waiting to hear back from you regarding the location of the gathering so I could promote it on the website and in a video... heck, everyone knew that I was still waiting for more information from you so I could help (it was posted publicly on my website for a week)! So why didn't you contact me and tell me you were switching to podcasting101's website??? You don't like the guy, but you'd rather talk with him than me??? That felt like a major slap in the face Jill.

I may not agree with the way you are dealing with your problems (no one else on the team had any problems), but I hope you really do come through for the people who attend your gathering. These people deserve a drama free gathering. With that being said, I'm not even going to say anything publicly about your shift against me. This gathering stuff was started for just one reason... to bring people together... not to talk bad behind backs or make uneducated assumptions in public.

I don't mean to sound like a prick (LOL too late for that), but I'm not going to attend your gathering. Your the host and it's pretty obvious that you don't want me there. Enjoy the gathering and I mean that in a non-sarcastic way. Let's just stop talking from now on and leave it at that. I don't want the issues between us to effect the experience of other first time gatherers. I have removed all information regarding the NY gathering from my website since it's no longer needed anyway.

-Cory (Williams / Mr. Safety) PS... you might want to tell podcasting101 to remove all those fake RSVPs from his website, because there are a few people that are on his list that are very upset that they're on there. It may also dissappoint a lot of misled people who'll come to the gathering just to see their favorite YouTubers (who aren't even coming). Don't let the people get misled.


When Cory Williams' spy on the Committee dropped this and other Committee emails all over YouTube Nalts, who was back on the Committee, contacted Cory Williams and they posted this shared video MrSafety Wants 777 to Fail - 3 June2007 - From Nalts on YouTube.

Despite being as welcome as a turd in a spacesuit, Cory Williams claimed he ws going to 777 right up until a few days before the gathering. When word spread that Cory was not going hundreds of people decided to make the trip to New York and the final attendance was over 9000 people (or at least 100 people, depending on who you ask and whether they were actually there).


Cory Williams - Evidence of Pathological Lying

[edit]

The YouTube Terms Of Use have been rewritten to accomodate people selling and advertizing from their YouTube channel. The only problem with this is that unlike Old Media where advertising is regulated, New Media Parasites are able to make any shit up that they want and present it in their advertizements as fact, which of course is a deplorable and not something that good people would ever engage in.

After hearing disturbing rumors, Encyclopedia Dramatica researchers where dispatched to verify the "truthiness" contained within the stream of non-stop adverts on the youtube channel.

The most recent video on the Smpfilms channel was chosen as a test sample.
