GURPS Gameplay Video Series

I'm a big fan of Robot Chicken, and as I was looking at some RC-related stuff on YouTube, I stumbled upon a three-hour-long session of DnD posted in 10-minute intervals (first vid in the series is here ). This was several members of the writing/performing staff of Robot Chicken playing with someone from the DnD main offices. As I understand it, these videos were on the DnD website as well, to serve as an entertaining introduction to 4e for prospective players to watch.

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea for SJGames to do something similar? I mean, not with the Robot Chicken folks, not necessarily with anyone famous (unless there's some otherwise-famous famous GURPS enthusiast out there who would want to), but just a video or series of videos of a really well-run and entertaining session or series of sessions. Do you think this could be used as a promotion for GURPS? I know it would come in handy for me, because I have some friends on the fence about trying RPGing, and might enjoy being able to spectate one of these things in comfortable privacy to see if it's something they'd like.

What does the rest of the GURPS-o-sphere think?
