It's been a few months now since Chris Crocker got the world viewing him and talking about his "Leave Britney Alone" video on YouTube. It made the six o'clock news, it was the top story on every gossip and tabloid television program and it provided late night talk show hosts with endless punchlines.
I have to admit that I haven't watched the video in it's entirety but with the international attention it garnered, I am pretty familiar the basic content of the message... and does my heart does ache for Ms. Spears...well? My heart does ache that this video has received more than 15 million views and it was a hoax. This probably isn't news to most of you and my comments may seem a bit dated on this issue.
If a joke can grab the attention of so many people, what could happen if a much more serious matter were seeking to raise awareness through the same social video site? Let's say a group of the world's biggest Bon Jovi fans wanted to throw a surprise birthday party for their favorite front man and they placed some of their dependency on YouTube to help get the message to other fans around the world.
Could a YouTube video be as successful for a much more legitimate cause? 15 million views is an outrageous number and you can't help but congratulate Mr. Crocker on a job well done whether it was intentional or not, whether it was a joke or not.
If the Bon Jovi box set 100 Million Fans Can't Be Wrong is the target audience we hope to reach in our Ultimate Bon Jovi Fan Search video campaign, we would settle with connecting with a conservative one percent of those fans to join our party. One million participants would be absolutely amazing and it would still only be a fraction of the accomplishments of Chris Crocker. We'll take it though!
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give
I'm ready to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I wanna be loved
