I'm new to HN, read the introduction at http://ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html and found the concept really great but doubted that people really can restrain themselves from posting "funny" or "cool" stuff.

Then I find this. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that those ambitious goals can't be met or if I'm thankful that someone pointed me at a funny video. Maybe both.

I think that guidelines suggest that it shouldn't only be funny or cute, there has to be something more. In this case it's a pretty clever form of advertising, plus it's related to Google Chrome...
