Wow, response has been overwhelming for the Diesel spot. I’ve gotten emails and IMs from a ton of people - seems EVERYONE has seen it. Right now the count is at 2million total hits, with a million coming from the homebase at break.com. It was briefly only up at creativity-online, and is now #1 there. Other cool shoutouts from Kanye West, antville & reddit. Fun stuff; I’ll post more as it comes in.

*A footnote, in honor of DFW: I wonder if it was The Entertainment that finally got to him.
