The Buzzluck Treasure Hunt

The video was originally made by the dad as Davids mom could not attend his first surgery, and the father wanted her to be a part of it and have a record. He posted it on facebook for friends and family, but there was an overwhelming demand so he added it to youtube forgetting to hit the ‘private’ button. by the time they realised what was happening it already had close to 3 million hits.

David says the whole thing made him ‘feel like a superstar’ and has since appeared with Matt Lauer, Jay Leno, been sent to disneyworld and so on, so he’s more than happy it was done. Polls also showed a 67% tilt in favor of what the dad did, saying it was harmless fun and not damaging to the child.

The DeVore family were soon made YouTube Partners. This gives YouTube the right to run ads over the videos they post, and in exchange, are given a share of the revenue. They also sell "David After Dentist" t-shirts and donate a portion of the revenue they earn to dental charities.

All that aside, you do make a good point though, and a third of the population agree with you. Sorry if my posting it here caused you any stress. Maybe you'll prefer ‘Jones BBQ and foot massage’ (one of the other vids you could hunt for).

Ian

You do realize that only a third of the population are decent(I guess all the free stuff won out)


But thanks for looking into this, as it was only a mistake..that's cool

I'm not doing the hunt so why would I prefer Jones BBQ and foot massage.

Hi all.

Hope you had some fun with this one. I even got to see a few vids I'd never seen myself thanks to a couple of you, and with the amount of time I waste on youtube thats no mean feat
