Phil ‘Emotional Immodulation Disorder’ Davison Never Heard of This ‘YouTube’

Yesterday, Minerva, Ohio, city council member Phil Davison became a viral sensation for a speech that exhibited neither the voice or emotional levels one might expect from a public plea to be elected county treasurer. Davison, who alternates between yelling and yelling-while-on-the-verge-of-crying, had no idea he had become his own Internet meme. “I went home and had a ham sandwich and went to bed and thought that was the end of it,” Davison told TPM. “A friend called, and well, I’m not very good with electronics, is there a YouTube? It was on some kind of electronic server.”
