To sum this assignment/video series up... It consists of a guy wearing a ninja suit, and answering questions and talking about random things. The video is low budget, plain, and doesn't really have any real high production value. While the design and show are rather simple, there are no commercials, and he interact directly with his audience by answering questions and discussing topics that they ask him. The show focuses on him, his antics, and his comedy. It allows the viewer to participate with laughing with him, at him, and encouraging him to continue his antics through various forms of communication, such as email, snail mail, and a phone hotline. However, with nearly 4,000,000 (yes... that is correct, and yes, that's a lot of zero's) views (each coming from a unique IP address) it's hardly fair to say that he isn't popular. In fact one of the best ways that this kind of medium beats out TV, is that you can see your viewer-ship immediately, and so he can show the popularity and ratings for his show as they come in.
