@ladymix sent me a follow up story to Wednesday’s JK Wedding Dane post.

“Wedding Dance” Newlyweds Speak Out Against Domestic Violence

By Lindsay, 3:40 PM on Fri Jul 31 2009,
After their wedding video rocketed to fame and sold thousands of downloads of Chris Brown‘s song “Forever,” Jill and Kevin have launched a site of their own, soliciting donations to combat domestic violence. They seem pretty serious about it, too.

On their new site, jkweddingdance.com, the couple states: “Due to the circumstances surrounding the song in our wedding video, we have chosen the Sheila Wellstone Institute. Sheila Wellstone was an advocate, organizer, and national champion in the effort to end domestic violence in our communities.” The site prominently displays links where readers can donate.

A statement from the Sheila Wellstone Institute points out that Jill’s current pHD work “focuses on breaking cycles of violence in society” and that Kevin is on his way to law school “due to his passion for social justice.”

Jill and Kevin, who, it should be noted, don’t get the money from those Chris Brown downloads – Chris Brown does – are going out of their way to use their fame to help others. Your turn, Chris, YouTube, and Sony.

Isn’t this neat.  Last week or maybe a couple weeks ago, Coral emailed me a clip on Youtube to check out.

The video had just begun its odyssey to the top of the internet pops and had a very modest 100,000 something views.  now it is 11 million!

But more interesting, Chris “I Hit Girls” Brown’s song “Forever” was featured and is seeing increased sales because of the popularity of the clip.  That dude better be dreaming up a pretty epic wedding present for this hipster Minneapolis couple because they may have just saved his career!

While Chris Brown has certainly been receiving some bad publicity lately, it seems that a viral wedding video featuring his song “Forever” has given the song’s sales a boost. The YouTube hit, dubbed “JK Wedding Entrance,” featured the wedding party dancing down the aisle to “Forever.” Just five days after it was posted, the video was the most-cited clip, according to Nielsen’s BlogPulse, and has recently surpassed 10 million views. As a result, the song is now in the iTunes Top 10 and the video contains a link to purchase “Forever.”
