What makes this even more hilarious is that they had finally offered to compensate him when it was only 50,000 views. If they thought that amount was bad, muahahahaha.Norseman wrote:You know this must be nice advertisement for United
EDIT: Sweet googly moogly! THREE MILLION VIEWS IN NINE DAYS?! THREE MILLION!? Oh yeah, United is getting some publicity here! :-D
The song is pretty good so I bought it from their website. Since they're Canadians, it was a good USD 0.88 spent.

Funny story is he's turned down the money and suggested United donated it to a charity of their choice. He's gonna make all 3 songs no matter what.
Some middle manager must be deep shit about now.

What gets me though, not sure if it was pointed out in the comments on the videos or not, is that it took this guy making all these calls, getting fucked left and right by United employees and then it took him not only threatening public action, but following through to get them to respond, fess up and do the right thing.
Really, what chance of success in similar situations does your average joe blow have? I certainly don't have either the musical talent to produce such, nor the budget, connections, etc to make a full blown music video just to do a round the world fuck you to United. I look at what it took him to get results and have to wonder how likely it is that I would get the same without doing such a public spectacle so to speak...
