Paul and Linus at Fallon do a Mahir.

Sometime last week the Currylink started making it's rounds. It was a link to rubberburner.com [1] that made a few people laugh and pass it on. When I saw the Swedish idiom in literal translation "do you think I am out bicycling" I got curious and did a Whois lookup to find out who made this.

The lookup revealed that the domain was bought by:

FALLON MCELLIGOTT-WN-HCCC (FM2112-ORG)
no.valid.email@WORLDNIC.NET [2]
FALLON MCELLIGOTT
901 Marquette Ave Suite 32
MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55402 US 6123212345

and so were the domains for
Roy a.k.a. Mr. Demolition - borntodestroy.com [3]
and Super Greg - supergreg.com [4] People on adlist and elsewhere wondered if someone was trying "to do a Mahir", and if so, why? Would it work as advertising?

Soon enough our spy in the states Wes from commando.com [5], found this in Ad Age on Monday with this little blurb. It reveals the site BuddyLee.com [6] where Curry and Mr Demolition are the stars, it is part of a television campaign.
