Rest assured that no "robotic kittens" are involved in the production of the tutorials. That promo video was my form of working on a limited monetary, manpower and time budget. When you're still a student and the only one working on a project (and more interested in creating the videos than promoting them), you get something of this kind.
That said, the interface and video seem to have been appealing enough for people to sign up en-mass (and for you to call us "you guyS" where in reality it should have been merely "you" ;) )
