How was I Tebowing on ABC News??

Yesterday, I woke up to about 40 Facebook notifications (followed by many more throughout the day) and numerous messages that said I was on ABC News. Befuddled, I made my way down my wall until I found a link to the video, and it was true! Son of a gun. ABC was doing a special on Tim Tebow, and, of course, they mentioned the phenomenon known as "Tebowing," where people imitate Timmy T's post-touchdown prayer position. The Tebower gets down on one knee and puts one hand on his forehead, usually in the most ridiculous, unconventional place he can find. This comes in the wake of cultural phenomena like "planking," "coneing," "batmanning," and probably many others I've never heard of. Anyways, I was at the Great Pyramids in Egypt last week and figured why not? Here's the original picture I posted to Facebook, sent to Tebowing.com, and Tweeted:

(Props to my buddy Brock Orlowski, a pure-bred, Grand Rapids native who gave me the idea to do this in the first place and Max Moser who took this picture and is a stud at photography in general)

I'm not sure when the picture was posted on Tebowing.com, but just after I sent it in, I looked through some of the pictures on the site and noticed what looked like a father and sun Tebowing at-you guessed it-the Great Pyramids. Come on! So I thought there was no way they were even going to post my picture, but to my surprise, they did, a few days later. In the meantime, right after I tweeted the picture, fancite.com retweeted it and posted it on their "Best Tebowing of the Week" page. So presumably, ABC News grabbed it off there since I don't think it was up on Tebowing.com in time for their special. They only showed three pictures in the special, so it's insane that they picked mine, of the thousands that are out there. What's the lesson? It pays to tweet! Twitter is an information mover, and you never know where your information is going to end up-maybe on ABC Nightly News:

You can watch the full video here if you haven't seen it. Youtube removed the embedding feature, so I can't post it here.
