David Schirmer is one of the stars in the recent self-help book and DVD bestseller "The Secret". For those that don't know, it's a self help system called "the law of attraction" based on imagining good things coming to you as catalyst for it actually happening.
A few weeks ago Schirmer was exposed for having bad debts in an amusing video by the Australian TV show "A Current Affair"... since then a tit-for-tat video battle has errupted on Youtube..... Enjoy the saga to date;

In a stylish spoof of the mystery ending of hit mob show The Sopranos, Hillary Clinton today unveiled her new 2008 presidential campaign song - You and I by Canadian singer Celine Dion.
The video, which also features a tongue-in-cheek cameo by former president Bill Clinton, was the latest shot in a battle among candidates for control of the new internet frontier of the 2008 White House race.
