Aa marketing ploy with an underlying purpose of selling stuff isn't necessarily lame. The video is good and does not mention them. This is a fair mention and I love the idealism that it promotes.

There is no shame in the fact that great causes are sponsored.

Um, did we watch the same video?

1) It ends with "See how Grasshopper empowers entrepreneurs to succeed" and "grasshopper.com" bouncing up and down to call attention to itself.

2) What "causes" are sponsored?

I completely disagree with your statement that "a marketing ploy with an underlying purpose of selling stuff isn't necessarily lame"- in general one should run screaming away from anything that can be described as a "ploy" with an "underlying purpose".
