Like this email, I've noticed Louis' personality permeates the whole experience. An interesting little tidbit: the password emailed to me after purchasing to access my content didn't work. I clicked the button to reset my password. I received an email with the text:

Apparently you forgot your password? Ok, so here's your new one, stupid:

My generated password was prefixed with "idiot.THENEWPASSWORD". It's little touches like this that I find really nice.

Also, needless to say, I would buy one of his specials in a heartbeat should a similar offer come up in the future. I watched the special last night and it was outrageously funny.

I did the same thing, but my password was prefixed by "stupid". Your insult may vary.
"moron" here.

I wonder if the first passwords are deliberately wrong so that peope will request a new one (if they revisit instead of downlaoding/streaming immediately and never going back as they have no need to) in order to be insulted. Its the sort of thing I'd do...

Thanks for sharing that tidbit, that's brilliant.
