Wait, I'm confused. Was everybody about even in chips, or did somebody have a lead?

You said he started this campaign before the cards were dealt; is that when the others agreed to do it? Or was he egging them on after you folded and the first person shoved?
If he did it while the hand was in play, that's a bit of a violation, but it's not really all that bad. It's bad, yes, but not along the same lines as, "he's bluffing, you have to call!" You gained from it yourself, since it bumped you up two places.
If he did it all before the hand was dealt, then hey, good for him. I've made that joke myself, without ever intending to go along with it before looking at my cards.
No matter what, you seem more offended by it than you probably should be. If he's telling people what to do in the middle of the hand, that may need to be discouraged (although some home games have no problem with rampant table talk). If he's working them before the cards are even dealt, I see no problem.
