    Interesting. Not sure how the audience will react to all the promo/product placement – the others (bar Zonday) were subtle / unobtrusive. This seems forced.

    @ Richard:

    I think the public has already shown what they think of this by the 79 million views on youtube. Do you really think anyone minds about the product placements?

    I wish I was Dr. Pepper! In this case. :)

    Best,

    Noel

    It’s amazing to me that one guy can have such an affect on people everywhere by remixing some fun dance moves and combining it with his winning personality!
