I think it is the experience I have of living in a retail and 
marketing saturated environment - I am tuned to (mostly) ignore things 
which are overtly aimed at me as a potential consumer. Apps like Tux 
Paint within easy reach will get attention of kids, they are lookig 
for fun. I guess it depends a lot on who the passing audience actually 
is, and how relevant the video is, both nice marketing judgments.
