So, I wanted to actually find out more about this Ed Dale character with whom I've been spending so much time.
When I typed "Ed Dale" into Wikipedia I get 2,309 results, yet the one in question doesn't appear to be in the top 20.
Now, my confusion is this. Does it matter? Seems to be ironically antithetical to our prophet's message. Or, am I just ignorant enough to get myself in trouble by compounding on my own confusion?

The Ed Dale Mankini thing to the best of my recollection from reading etc, was a joke that came to a head at a Beechwood Australia marketing conference. There was a bet, and Dan Raine (man behind 30DC) lost and had to wear a pink Mankini. There is a video of that on youtube. Since then the Joke Ed Dale Mankini has been going around from an SEO standpoint to rank the term Mankini with the name Ed Dale.
The videos you have seen are all part of that SEO Joke to rank those terms, as well as poking fun at the Master Himself.
I am sure there are others that know the full story, but that is what I have gathered on the subject from bits and peices here and their and as part of THE Immediate Edge.
hope that clears up some stuff.
