Now that the tears have stop streaming and I've managed to climb back into my chair... Thanks for sharing this! We're in the process of developing a new commercial for our QandANJ.org service (old one at http://www.qandanj.org/mtv) so this video was both timely and frighteningly spot on. Hooboy! Wish us luck :-)

I'm so disappointed - YouTube says this video is no longer available... I was looking forward to sharing it with people working on a project together.
