He lost me after 30 seconds. I was hoping for some entertainment, not a sermon.

EDIT - political and cultural considerations notwithstanding, maybe it is not meant for me? I find entertainment everywhere.

No probs, but I think he is using the worng approach. No-one listens anymore and you will be lucky if they can finish a whole Tweet in one go.

Perhaps you can give him some advice as a comment on YouTube? Thanks chief!

Nah, he looks way too earnest for me to pop his bubble

haha i think he has a point, to a certain extent. But the execution of the program was done in a way that is awkward to watch IMO. The programs on TV that are produced like this; send a message to my brain "Don't Buy it, don't support it! It's a marketing scheme!" It's just setup to dramatic for me, i think he could get his point across in much better way.

I listened to him for about five minutes, and his presentation (if it can be called a "presentation") seemed to me to be a combination of a rant and a revival meeting. I would be wary of what he is selling.

Cheers,

Bill
