As an entrepreneur, I found this to be very motivating. It highlights the essence of why some of us do what we do.<p>They guys at Grasshopper seem to be dedicated to motivate anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit to go for it.

Grasshopper grew out of Babson college, which is the top entrepreneur MBA program.<p>So Babson has been promoting this video, so it is cool to see it being a part of the NEW.

It's little more than a commercial. It says entrepreneurs are motivated to create jobs, but many are actually motivated to eliminate jobs and waste people's time -- like this commercial did. One minute I will never get back and because of it, I will <i>never</i> use the service it advertises.<p>If you are going to waste our time with a "viral" ad, please at least make it interesting and if you can't succeed at that, shoot for accuracy, or at a minimum, empathy with your target market.<p>Sometimes humor works too, however, and unfortunately, this ad was absolutely void of any humor whatsoever.<p>Flagged as spam...

Hmm... Neat video, but I'm in the "I suspect sock puppets" camp.
