So I went to youtube to watch the new ad and it was showing about 73k views. After watching the ad a couple times I noticed that the view count now was around 44k, however if you view it on the search result list it still says 73k there. Also no matter how many times me or my girl watch the video the view count stays at 47,774. Dont know if it matters but she is in a different internet conncection, pc, and location than me.

View counts are not updated in real time, but cached for performance reasons. That's why they seem a bit off sometimes, especially with a new video that's getting a lot of views quickly.

Thanks for the info! We have a real chance and I just try to be aware and make sure our boy is getting as fair of a shake as possible.

YES.

YouTube is owned by Google who's in bed and then some with the US government who's in bed and then some with another govt who's worst nightmare would be Ron Paul winning the presidency.

no. the reason the last ad didn't get many views at first was because the counters all across youtube were down for a week or so.
