Bree also updated her myspace and posted a bulletin regarding this video.

Would that be considered a dirty trick too?

Or perhaps the creators just wanted more people to watch...get the word out to everyone---given most were out spending the holiday?

I really don't think it's that big of a deal.

I'll only have a problem with that if it turns out she WAS hurt in the shootout. Then we'll have a dirty trick on our hands. Otherwise, Bree is free to promote as she sees fit.

It's fine with me. It's not like they do it all of the time. They probably are just trying to show the importance of the video.

This is rediculous. 99.99% of us loved it. FYI

You mean the video itself? Well I would be included in the group that loved this video, and I started this thread, so I fail to see your point.

It isn't very difficult to love the video and think the little scam for more views is cheap and annoying.

Well obviously I meant it in the way it's commonly used in everyday conversation. I'm not referring to illegal behavior or anything. I'm glad you asked me to clarify, b/c I don't want that hanging out there with no explanation.

It's not like I'm organizing a boycott or starting a petition. I'm voicing my opinion and allowing others to do the same.

If it's "making a big deal out of this" to simply say what I think, then aren't you, by your own definition, "making a big deal" out of my post?

Sorry, but writing something on a message board isn't "making a big deal" out of anything.

it was just to get people who don't really watch the videos, and then see that and are like "oh why is she crying" then watch the video and are like "

i need to know what happens next"

then they are hooked, hook line and sinker!

Sorry but your OPINION is blowing up what happened into something other than it is.

Your not just saying "i think its a scam", you're saying that it was wrong and is damaging to the way the creators run things.

THERE IS NO SCAM

THERE IS NO PLOY

Maybe they were just trying to get the word out?

Leave Joshy alone...he's too coolio for this BS.

Saying something doesn't make it true, so you might want to try backing up what you say next time. They were attempting to trick people into watching by flashing an image that wasn't really in the original video.

Why do you think there were two versions of this video (and thus two different descriptions)?
