My daughter Becky is into suspension. That means she has hooks put under her skin, and she hangs from wires connected to a tree, a ceiling, or whatever. She finds this releases her stress.
I’m so proud
Her friend made this video of Becky suspending (I think it was in Santa Cruz). She is the feature of the video, and suggested the music, but her friend posted it on You Tube.
As the video approached 100,000 hits, You Tube contacted her friend, and offered to buy it. They were going to give him money (I am guessing $5,000) for the rights to the video. You Tube would then put a short commercial on the beginning of the clip, before you watch it.
Becky’s friend asked her what she thought, and Becky said she didn’t want the money, and liked the idea that people could watch it without commercials, so her friend didn’t sell the rights.
The video has over 116,000 hits to date.
