What, Me Worry? Young Internet Stars Wait Out The Crash In Cyprus, Make Video

UPDATE Disappointing, but understandable: The video -- which, after all, caused the economy to collapse, deflated the Web 2.0 bubble and was by far the worst thing ever posted on the Internet, ever -- is now gone.

Haven't yet decided whether this video -- twenty or so twenty-somethings lip-synching to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin" on their precious week off in Cyprus -- is a shining example of the awesome Web 2.0 world we live and work in, or a cry for help. But it's amusing either way. Someone want to send these kids a couple board games or some Excel files to crunch?

As they describe it: "Twenty world Internet citizens met in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in October of 2008 for a week of reflections on life, love, and the Internet."

Among the boldfaced names featured in the clip: Facebook Connect dude Dave Morin, his Google girlfriend Brittany Bohnet, Facebook product design lead/former Macster developer Aaron Sittig, Apple producer/designer Jessica Bigarel, WSJ tech reporter Jessica Vascellaro, Drop.io founder Sam Lessin, Blip.tv cofounder Mike Hudack.

On February 28, Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, joined 31 other media groups and filed a $2.3 billion suit against Google in Dutch court, alleging losses suffered due to the company's advertising practices.
