thinks You Tube is America's funnies home video, season infinity

My mom calls up after a weekend with her buddies. "I showed my friends your video where Harvey feeds Rascal," she says, "and they thought it was great! They all said you should put it on YouTube!"
"Put it on YouTube?"
"Yeah! It's really funny! It should go on YouTube!"

"But it's already on a video hosting channel," I say. "We use Vimeo."
"Yeah but people would see it if it were on YouTube."
"Mom, it's not like releasing a product launch to MSNBC. It's a baby - pet video. There are a hundred million of them on YouTube. Besides, Vimeo is classier."
"Whatever. They all said it's good enough to be on YouTube..."

Can someone please print her out a bumper sticker that reads "My child got three thousand hits on Vimeo"? I think that would make her feel a lot better.
