I was in a bad mood when I hit play, and by the end I was in an even worse mood.

Still kudos must be given to ONVIF for the actual execution of the idea even as we question the motivation.

I mean seriously, where are you going to find someone who:

  1. Looks reasonably like Austin Powers
  2. Has or can manage a convincing English accent
  3. Can play the part of Austin Powers including self-interacting with Dr. Evil
  4. Can speak extemporaneously regarding ONVIF profile implementation
  5. Tolerates ridicule well

Maybe next year they can find a Arnold Schwarzenegger or Chuck Norris guy...

"Can speak extemporaneously regarding ONVIF profile implementation"

Define extemporaneously.

'Austin' was reading most of his bit from index cards.

Define extemporaneously.

extem · por · aneously adv. early Latin

extem = eminating from, por = your, aneously = origination point.

literally 'speaking out of your a**'.

Seriously though, didn't Austin take impromptu questions from the audience?

I would be curious to know if he is either a hired actor or an actual onvif employee. If the latter someone thought this poor employees doppelganger to be austin powers and they ran with it. If he is an actor I guess we can expect onvif to have wayne campbell at isc 2016.
