I came across this video on the Wall Street Journal Web site and found myself wondering:  Why does this video have 1 million+ views?  Just why?  How long before this is a Gap or Levi ad?  Anybody else suspect the outtakes are more entertaining?  Why am I posting it?  I do not know.

It is oddly impressive, I suppose.

It's not any weirder than "Laughing Baby," inexplicably No. 11 on the YouTube All-Time Viewed List and even parodied on "South Park."  Check out this entertaining read about "Laughing Baby vs. the YouTube Commenters: A battle of Internet good and Internet evil" from Slate which delves into the special form of social idiocy known as Internet commenting.

YouTube: bringing laughing babies and blue jeans acrobatics to the masses since 2006.  "Time" magazine invention of the year indeed.
