Aussie Uses YouTube to Crash a US Thanksgiving

A case of mistaken identity helped Australian journalist James West to US fame and glory.

It started innocently enough, James West receiving emails every Thanksgiving from the Tran family in West Palm Beach, Florida. What the Tran family didn't know is that this James West, was not the person they intended to email.

What followed is a batch of five YouTube videos from the Australian, with a plea to be invited as a guest to the Tran family's Thanksgiving feast - and it worked.

In the latter part of the series, James Google-stalks the family to find intimate details about them all.
