I also think they should have spread things out a little better, so that the Today Show, Dateline, and Leno appearances weren't all broadcast within the same 7-day timeframe.
Or perhaps appear on Letterman a few weeks later.
Anyway, it's all water under the bridge now.

Interestingly, it made no sense whatsoever to me from then to release the Destiny Rules doc a year after the record. I mean people love reality t.v. They should have used that to their advantage and made a miniseries of the doc leading up to the record or released it with the record. That was a HUGE marketing mistake IMO.
