It's a viral video perfect storm: a high budget, anti-Windows, Matrix parody. Those Internet geeks are going to go nuts when they see it. Seriously, I bet this already has 10 billion Diggs, and every video site is going to pick it up, us included. Joking aside, it's suprisingly pretty good.
It even ends with a sure-to-be classic quote:
Ubuntu, I'm going to learn... UBUNTU!!!"

Marshall McLuhan: The Medium is the Message
"The medium is the message" tells us that noticing change in our societal or cultural ground conditions indicates the presence of a new message, that is, the effects of a new medium. With this early warning, we can set out to characterize and identify the new medium before it becomes obvious to everyone - a process that often takes years or even decades. And if we discover that the new medium brings along effects that might be detrimental to our society or culture, we have the opportunity to influence the development and evolution of the new innovation before the effects becomes pervasive. As McLuhan reminds us, "Control over change would seem to consist in moving not with it but ahead of it. Anticipation gives the power to deflect and control force."

Tokyo Dance Trooper in Shibuya
More at DannyChoo.com
Previous version made it to the top of starwars.com (a snapshot of it).
Was rather happy when Lucasfilm sent mail saying that it gave them a giggle ;-)
Video was shot right after the party that YouTube invited us to - the "YouTube Mix" in Omotesando where we got to meet the co-founder of YouTube Steve Chen. T'was a great party.
This time round, the codpiece came off half way through so we didn't shoot that much this time. Going to glue that codpiece down and attempt to do some more dancing in another location around Tokyo.
