It turns out that W. is getting a major boost from Sarah Palin—the movie that is.
“The REAL Sarah Palin!” - the latest satirical video clip produced by Barely Political (the team the gave the Web Obama Girl), has generated close to 2 million views on YouTube in just three days since its launch on Sept. 30. Plus, according to officials at Barely Political parent company Next New Networks, The REAL Sarah Palin! hit the magic 1 million views mark in just one day, while the company’s signature I Got a Crush… on Obama video took a whole week to reach that milestone. That video has been viewed 9.8 million times to date.
But unlike I Got a Crush, Next New Networks has been able to immediately cash in on its Palin viral hit. The video carries both a pre-roll and overlay ad for the Oliver Stone movie W.—which “The REAL Sarah Palin!” spoofs. That movie hit theaters on Oct. 17.
