Default Alizée Viral Marketing

I've been meaning for a while to do some kind of viral marketing centered around Alizée. For those that don't know what viral marketing means:

Quote:
— n
1. a direct marketing technique in which a company persuades internet users to forward its publicity material in e-mails (usually by including jokes, games, video clips, etc)

2. a marketing strategy in which conventional media are eschewed in favour of various techniques designed to generate word-of-mouth publicity, in the hope of creating a fad or craze
Today, Jake04 came up with the perfect idea:

I know we have a lot of creative minds here who have both the tools (video editing software) and the know-how (how to edit) who could use the Taiwanese animation of Steven losing it or any other videos of him, using Alizee's "I'm fed up" video. Maybe use both French and English version to introduce both to the Americans. French is better, but we also need the English so the public could "relate" to it.

This guy is getting viral on the internet so I think we have a chance here. But, we have to move fast as we have a short window of opportunity here. The guy is going to court next month, so we have about as much time to take advantage of it.

Silly idea? Just wanna help out our beloved Alizee here. What do you guys think?
A few minutes later:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eJP1rXjJJF4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eJP1rXjJJF4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>


How this is supposed to work: Steven Slater, a JetBlue flight attendant that quitted his job in a quite particular way is making headlines around the country. At the time of writing, his name is number 1 on Google Trends. The more people that search for Steven Slater, the more people that are likely to stumble upon the video I posted above. I'm having a hard time trying to explain this, hopefully this will help clear things up.

Steven Slater → Video I posted above → I'm Fed Up → Alizée → AlizeeAmerica

I don't know what kind of effect this will have, or if it'll have any effect at all, but I figured I would give it a try.

Can't believe I forgot that, thanks for the heads up, ratings have now been enabled.

I love the video a good way to get the name out...

But since were on the topic of youtube videos...A lot of Alizee videos have 1 million + videos, the Isla Bonita video I watched today had 10 mill + so either two things.

1) She is known by a lot of people and they just dont want to admit it
2) We are responsible for 90 percent of those views lol.

Yeah, but most of the videos that have millions of views are from the Gourmandises and MCE eras.

WOW! That was quick! I knew we have a lot of creative minds here. I was hoping you would include the video of Alizee doing the Night Elf dance though. And maybe some scene in French (since it sounds better). But, that's a great start!

Edit:

NICEEEEEEEE! Just watched it on Youtube. Hopefully we'll get a lot views especially from non-Alizee fans!

Edit:

I've watched the video like 10 times already!

It might be catching on already. There are 111 guest at this site right now. I know it's Friday night, but I've been here on some Fridays and it has never been this busy here.
