I showed it to Tehila and we laughed and laughed. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you notice the little advertisement that popped up in the middle of the video? Is this the future of youtube? Show ads in youtube clips?
A few months ago, Youtube allowed posters to add text boxes into the videos. This allows all sorts of functionality, such as adding subtitles or contextual explanations, like that old show on VH-1, PopUp Videos.
In this case, the performer put up a text box that indicated he's going to be playing this interesting instrument at a bar in Edinburgh, where he lives. It is not a random advertisement from some uninvolved merchant; it is a notification from the poster of the video himself. Marketing, yes, but I wouldn't really call it an advertisement. The text boxes themselves are neutral.
hahaha!
