[...] Jason Keath has a great blog post about this in which he talks about how YouTube, through this viral experiment, is closing the gap not only between the audience of network TV and online, but also in the whole monetization scheme which is what drives everything. [...]

@John I do not think it is fake. I have seen some pretty crazy dance
routines at weddings. And they were not that great, good choreography, but
not all of them were talented dancers to say the least. I got the feeling
the bride had to be talked into it. And yes, I am sure Youtube helped it
along.

A long way yet to go, but this is a good sign for the future Youtube.

I wonder first if this video is authentic or not? Secondly, in order to go viral like this and get this many views in such a short period it would need some help from YouTube. How did the word get out so fast? Finally, seeing that Google has boasted about this experiment on their blog I wonder if the whole thing isn't rigged to make Google and YouTube look good? Perhaps a conspiracy?? The bottom line, though, is that 16 million (at the time of this writing), is a huge audience for a non-network TV program. Internet video is here to stay!

Wow, that is awful quick for 12 million views. I can't believe the couple gets none of that. I suppose they did rip off the rights to the song, but still, I think you are right. If the rights holder has already agreed, they should get something after a certain amount of views. Only fair.
