Having been live and online for just over a week, the video has garnered well over 1.5 million views across multiple postings to a variety of video sharing sites (the YouTube version is currently just shy of a million) and generated a great deal of publicity, getting some prime real estate on the AOL Homepage, LaughingSquid, and the twitter feed of entrepreneur Guy Kawasaki.
