Solid work. I figured her first video got so many views due to the Pretty Girl on YouTube Factor. This makes a lot more sense, though.

That was a very well-written piece! I'm becoming a fan of your writing. You're quite a wordsmith; I like your style.

I think many people and groups are experimenting in cyberspace and are using YouTube as their latest medium. I consider YT to be an entertainment site and don't expect everything I see there to be real. Yes, maybe we are being marketed to, and I do think that in that case, the prospective consumer should be aware of the pitch. But I think that stealth marketing happens in other mediums all the time. Maybe we should just decide for ourselves what to eat and drink and wear and watch, rather than doing what everyone else is doing or what we're being told blindly to do. All in all, there's much worse things we could be fooled into doing than drinking Green Tea!

P.S.: You know, the real value in YouTube for marketers is in the media coverage they'll get. If the media seizes on this, it'll be exactly what the Green Tea Lobby wants.

If it wasn't for lonelygirl15, would YouTube have sold in the Fall for exactly 1.6 billion?

Damn, I thought she was real. I have one response video (with a titillating) thumbnail that has nearly 200,000 views as of this post. I rode her coattail to 600 new subscribers. I feel dirty.

My head hurts just from reading this postinging. I can't imagine watching the video and playing the game.
