Splendid sir, just splendid.
Hugh, you really are one hell of a marketer!
aww Hugh, you just get sweeter every day… What a wonderful thing to do for that couple! i saw the queue to get on the eye tonight and hope that they were able to fast track through it all! i’m sorry i didn’t get to catch up with you on your tour, sounds like you had an amazing (but busy) time.

Hugh,
Great work, great marketing trip– for the wine company and for your substantial talent. I must say that I’m disappointed this video wasn’t about your date with some fabulous lady you met during the trip.
I’m afraid you may be “sweeting” them right into what’s called “the friend zone” in the movies. Heed the tips of those ladies from a couple of videos back who suggested you modify this or make that over. Add a bit of swagger (like the rock star you’re rapidly becoming), and make us a video about your date with whichever femme you choose from the doting masses.
Hang on — is she the woman I spied at Bibendum last night sporting one of your T-Shirts?

Hey Hugh, don’t fret that the Supermarkets didn’t come up trumps on the “lovely lady” front for you. (Poor targeting, because not every female visiting the venue is either looking or available for love — not sure what percentage is though).
However, Venturebeat have some venues with better percentages http://venturebeat.com/2007/02/14/love-on-the-web/
If you are struggling for key characteristics of your ideal love, someone else has some suggestions here http://www.thisisgoingtobebig.com/2007/02/searching_for_s.html
Hugh — sounds and looks quite fun. But excuse me — your evil plan was to mount this massive guerilla marketing campaign, stir up all this interest in Stormhoek and meet lots of women under that air cover ?
Actually that’s quite clever but what happened ? You gave the ‘date’ way. Very generous, even sweet but as others where’s Phase 2.
You are brilliant. Just brilliant.
Great plan and execution with talent, creativity, humor and…love !
You are an inspiration and I will try to replicate the plan for my upcoming project. To be launched in 3 weeks ! I will send you a note.
Now, maybe you should have an evil plan to rest a little bit…
Take care

I’d like to watch two lesbians, too.
I just watched most of these. Thank you.
