I said this earlier in the thread and it was actually 2k that her mother paid for the package.

People that listen to top40 aren't stupid. They just like to have fun which it seems you are opposed to. :P

They don't need or like to be bogged down by silly details if it sounds slightly okay and it's fun to dance to then they like it.

A hit going viral is slightly different, the main reason hers went viral is so that people could get a good laugh and make fun of it with numerous amount of parodies.
