As an American who lived in the Midwest for half my life, I've known this and found it very funny. While I encountered tumbleweeds a fair bit, I wasn't a farmer. :)
Most people in the central US (especially farmers) would probably find it unpleasant, though.

I saw some of them crossing the road in the middle plain of Spain (the one of Don Quixote) during a wind storm, and for the first time I realized they were dangerous. I had to dodge them with the car.
I have not heard much of them since... that was 1985 or so.

Cheers Pete -- Life without chameleons is possible, but pointless.
You'll probably find an equivalent video about chameleons. The chameleon property "likely to hide and change its color to conceal itself" is not indicative of the project either.
You shouldn't put politics over the product.
