Bosnia and Back Again: The trailer

In a little over two days, the "trailer" for Bosnia and Back Again (above) has become my second most viewed video. It's gaining ground on the trailer for Hillary in Tuzla: The Tale of Bosnian Sniper Fire, the first YouTube clip to juxtapose the CBS footage with Clinton actually saying "sniper fire." (There was one earlier clip that contrasted the CBS footage with her press conference defending the remarks, but she didn't actually use the words "sniper fire.")

Some cool stats:

  • The video has been played more than 268,000 times and is now ranked as the sixth most watched video on all of YouTube
  • For the week, it's the #1 top rated video in the news and politics category and #5 for YouTube overall.
  • For the month, it's the #7 top rated video in news and politics -- not bad for two days!
  • With more than 6,500 Diggs, it is the #1 most dugg story in the last week (despite a concerted pro-Clinton effort to bury the digg).
  • Viral Video Chart ranks it #12 on their list of viral videos (down from #5 yesterday).
  • In the last month, Hillary Clinton's campaign channel has had about 1.2 million videos played. My channel? 1.7 million. My total investment -- a lot of time, plus $99 for video editing software.

Some cool reviews from around the blogosphere:

  • AMERICAblog: "blockbuster"
  • The Nation: "Hillary's hypocrisy on video"
  • Andrew Sullivan: "No one left to lie to"
  • Dan Savage: "Required viewing...simply can't be missed."
  • Election Geek: "Proof that the best work being done this election season is being done by people online."
  • Oliver Willis: "Masterpiece...You’ll Laugh You’ll Cry You’ll Throw Up A Little
  • The Field: "Cinematic tour de force...it's not likely to be in cinemas after June 3."
  • Think on These Things: "Wow"

If you happen to see other positive blog mentions or any other factoid I should add to the list, please drop me an e-mail or leave a comment.

Most of all, if you haven't already, please watch the clip and send it to your friends, family, and other bloggers -- especially if they are in Pennsylvania!

And finally, thanks to everybody who has been so supportive -- without an audience for this material, there really wouldn't be a point to it.
