The fact that people are making videos about the Google glasses mere hours and days after the unveiling video, whether negative or positive, is a very good sign for the project. It shows people are very interested in it one way or the other (remember all the "big iPod" and MaxiPad jokes about the iPad before its launch?)
In regards to advertising, it's very unlikely Google would make the ads like that, and they might not even make special ads for the glasses at all, other than the ads you'll see in people's content (like on a webpage, app, etc), which is inevitable unless they straight out ban it, but it doesn't make any sense to do that.
People thought Google's mobile OS would be littered with OS-level ads as well, and that never happened. It's even less likely it will happen for the Google glasses, because if they sell the product themselves, they stand to make a lot more money in profit from the hardware (going by how exciting and innovative it is) than a few bucks per year they would get from ads (like they get now from each Android device).
