William Shatner, Other B-Listers Start Signing Autographs In Personalised Video Form

9:00AM August 18, 2008 | Benny Goldman

newVideoPlayer("/shatnermodo_giz.flv", 475, 376,""); At a time when the US$2 billion per year autograph business runs rampant with counterfeits, it’s tough to ensure your memorabilia is authentic.

Trekkie and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington recently praised the service after paying US$150 for a message from William Shatner, which took three months to arrive. Joke’s on you Mike—I got a video from Shatner in an hour, and it only cost me iMovie and elbow grease. But for the last time Bill, my name isn’t “Jackass”. [LiveAutographs via TechCrunch, Reuters]
