I mentioned it briefly in class about the commercial I saw on National Geographic pertaining to the amateur video taken by a group on safari in Africa. The video was uploaded to YouTube and has been viewed a total of 31,427,114 times.
I’m sure that the publicity from National Geographic helped to boost the amount of views it received. I have watched it twice and it is definitely a different twist on who really is the king of the jungle.
National Geographic went on to host a special to talk about the story behind the video. Although I didn’t watch the special I thought that it was very interesting that it was inspired by an amatuer video off of YouTube. Just goes to show you never know who will be looking at what you post.
