Ed, Aleksander and I maintain the official @opera account on Twitter. Blessed with such a generic name as Opera, we're often mistaken for being a nightclub:

What should we do? Reply? Retweet? Sponsor it?

Apparently he has a lot of money.

Not that I go into all that many night clubs, but I can't imagine a night club playing exclusively opera music would do all that well. But you never know!

Since you already got "Friday Beer", why not make "Thursday Nightclub" at Opera HQ? wink

By the way: The guy reminds me of the infamous "17 Dollars" dude:

So they donot confuse it with the Oslo Opera ensemble ( http://www.opera.com/mobile/next ) , and ask you when you perform "opera for phones" in a place near to there, next? confused

What if it was remixed or a mashup?

Every time someone mentions Aleksander, I can't get past the memory of his tongue flailing around doing those Opera face gestures years ago. It was a great moment in Internet video.

HAHAHA!
Make an ad... You show a tweet like this one and then say: "Wait that's not the Opera we're talking about. We want you to know the fastest Internet browser around. Click here to download it for free."

Hey... isn't TT Boy a pr0n "actor"?

Make a subreddit showcasing the Oprah and and Opera mix-ups to generate buzz!

Then tweet the subreddit entries to another twitter account.
