I read it as a sort of parody. The point of the article wasn't to sell the video but to demonstrate how to sell the video. It's a lesson on advertising in the form of an add. Very clever.

Some things were a little over done, but I'd assume that it's to emphasise techniques.

And yet by doing so, he sells the video. Unless we see another article pop up in the next few days "selling the video," I think we have to assume this was it.
