Michael Kittrell, an American YouTuber and Internet personality. Widely regarded as "the greatest internet troll of all time". On January 14th, 2010 Michael posted his first video online entitled "Gingers Do Have Souls!!". In the video, Michael performs an improvisational monologue styled rant in which he complains that South Park has caused him bullying due to the episode "Ginger Kids". Within 24 hours of its posting, the video went viral. It has now amassed over 100 million views online, being parodied by South Park, featured on Tosh.0, remixed by thousands, and remembered by millions. Following the success of his first video, Michael continued using his "Angry Ginger" persona, and went on to create many more viral videos. He would also create a channel for his grandmother, where he would produce videos of her sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of there house in Grayson, GA. These videos would also grow in popularity, one being featured on World Star Hip Hop. Following his successes he, along with his grandmother whom he calls "Mema", were invited to fly out to Los Angeles, CA to guest star on the popular Comedy Central show Tosh.0. He was featured on the 5th season premiere episode, which had very high ratings, and Michael became a fan favorite. Daniel Tosh would go on to feature Michael's grandmother "Mema" several more times throughout the fifth season in various episodes. After the Tosh.0 episode, the production company Asylum Entertainment, a subsidiary company of Legendary Pictures, reached out to Michael noticing potential in a reality television series starring him and his "Mema". After producing a pilot, it would be picked up for a straight to series 10 episode deal with the television network Reelz. The show entitled "Hollywood Hillbillies" would go on to break many ratings records and in doing so had a successful 31 episode run.
