You can get a little background on the "Happiness Machine" in this recent article in today's issue of Fast Company online. The video had over 220,000 views in just 48 hours, and now has over a million. That speaks volumes about the importance for connection and the impact it can have. If this brand-consumer ( or as I like to say people) connection is made in an authentic, uplifting way and is in line with the brand, the idea will catch like wildfire.
