Now I can report that when your YouTube video passes the million views threshold, nothing special happens.
No one comes to your house with cans of tuna cat food and catnip, no contract offers, not even an email notification.
Romeo and I slipped past a million views late Saturday night, apparently not long before midnight. It happened quietly and with no fanfare. I found out via a surreptitious late night statistics check.
So I Guess we’ll have to provide our own celebration.

Think of it, Ian. Assuming you don’t have thousands of people addicted to you and Romeo who keep playing your video over and over again like it was made by Lady Gaga, there are now 1,000,000 people who have watched you— nearly 2,000,000 eyes.
That means that about one out of every 7,000 people on the entire planet knows what you look like.
i think i’ve seen that video at least five times. maybe more.
