It does NOT beg the question!
Begging the question (or petitio principii, "assuming the initial point") is a type of logical fallacy in which the proposition to be proven is assumed implicitly or explicitly in the premise. Many English speakers erroneously believe "begs the question" means "raises the question" and use it accordingly: for example, "this year's deficit is half a trillion dollars, which begs the question: how are we ever going to balance the budget?" That is incorrect.

Whereas I was raised in an atmosphere of and always appreciate grammatic accuracy, and the point is well taken, we still would love to see this video. And we might even beg for it.

Why did you see the need to post this in the first place? If this were an English usage forum, I could see the point.

I think the question asked, was why the OP wanted to see the video.
I hope my grammar is correct.
