"Theme Song - Caillou" is a high quality rip of "Theme Song" from Caillou.
Jokes
The Rip begins with a Sesame Street scene of Herry Monster saying "That's a good apple" then cutting to a recording of someone walking in a street at night. It cuts again to an empty subway recording. After that, the video goes to show "Each day i grow some More" by Worldcorp Enterprises, (which involves a man screaming at a crying child to sing the Caillou theme song). It then cuts "August 15, 2005 - GONE" edited to look a little darker, and the voices being very distorted. Afterwards, it's a video of someone walking on a forest.
ARG
There is a short Alternate Reality Game-like activity included in the video.
- In the description, we find some coordinates that lead to "Chapman Rd." in Alto, Texas.
- At 0:50, in the rip, a pastebin.com link appears on the top right corner, but a black annotation box covers (so click "X" is to erase the box in order to see the link"). Now that the annotations were removed from YouTube in January 2019, it's freely seeable.
- The pastebin link says "virus" and under it, a mymixtape.moe file. The file contains a corrupted picture of the creator of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki, eating a donut.
- This is called a virus, because, back then, on 4chan, rumors say when the file contains a browser exploit, the computer would get a virus that would screamer you randomly, but that rumor's fortunately false.
- The reason for why the picture is corrupt, is because text is inserted in the image.
- When viewing the text, it reads "I've hidden an audio file. Please do not attempt to go and listen to it as you'll suffer the consequences. You'll guess why", and a picosong link is added, which contains the Bean (turn down volume before playing).
Removal
On April 28th, 2019, "Theme Song - Caillou" was removed from the channel after new information was discovered proving that the "Each day i grow some More" video used in the rip could be real footage, and not a staged act. SiIvaGunner posted a comment on ScareTheater's video "WorldCorp Is Much Darker Than We Thought" concerning "Theme Song - Caillou" and the Worldcorp Enterprises credit in the description:
"Thanks for bringing this information to light. We have removed the "Theme Song - Caillou" video from our channel. The team member who created the video originally found the "Each day i grow some More" clip on 4chan's /x/ board, and it wasn't until around 3 weeks after we uploaded it that we learned of its connection to Worldcorp. This was because someone claiming to be "the ceo of worldcorp enterprises" messaged one of our team members through Discord about being credited on the video, which we complied with. According to the original creator of the video, the account these messages were sent from is the same account that owned the Worldcorp Discord server linked on their website.
I hope this clears up any confusion about our video. If you have any more questions, we've sent you an email with more information."
