Wake Up Call: Brian Wilson’s VYou account is as intensely weird as you’d expect

VYou is a service in which users answer questions via short video clips, which debuted on Nov. 1. And while it’s been used mostly for nonsense so far — just like the early stages of Twitter — it’s just been waiting for some celebrities to jump on board and start using to give it some legitimacy. (Or, you know, paying them). And VYou creators couldn’t have asked for a better celebrity user than Giants closer Brian Wilson. Here’s his VYou bio, for instance:
Bio:
Hold an IQ of 188, trained in the art of verbal assassins, Beard ranks 3rd in NFL sacks and ninja enthusiast along with being one. FACT!
Yep, this is gonna be a ride. One question, for instance, was: What’s your favorite place in San Francisco not named AT&T Park? The answer, of course, was Alcatraz; where Wilson says he’s planning on renting an apartment and swimming in to home games.
