more satisfying than is probably mentally healthy

When I uploaded the Percy tribute to YouTube, they had me enter a value for "tags." Not knowing how they would manifest, I entered simply "Percy." The result? When I played the video, YouTube placed Percy-themed ads overtop. For instance, they hawked Vikings tickets because of Vikings player Percy Harvin.

"I can do so much better than this," I said.

It took a couple days, but finally the new tags went into effect.
