Heh, pretty bizarre marketing ad.

Maybe this will teach a few people to be a little more sceptical of internet videos in the future  >:D

Ginsu Victim:
That's a stupid way of advertising. If you weren't told that it's an ad, how the hell would you know?

"Wanted" looks horrible. Night/Day Watch were great, but I've laughed at how bad Wanted looks since the first trailer hit.

shardian:
That is the dumbest ---smurfing--- thing I have ever heard of. The director of the movie has some rock video of the viral thing on his russian blog site. It even included footage from the office guy's camera attached to his tie.

Congrats to the guy for pulling off a sweet viral video, but his whole theory on how and why? I think he needs to learn a few things about "advertisement".  :laugh2:

If it was just hardware I'd have stayed back, but when he was putting people in danger I couldn't have just watched.

If the dude was freaking out on his own computer i'd let him vent.  As soon as it become a physical issue with the surrounding people,  I am going in regardless.  That said,  I'd likely end up being the poor schmuck who got whacked in the head with the keyboard.

It funny, some people have the "get themselves killed" instinct, and some don't.

I was in a K-Mart store a few years back, when a woman nearby screamed "Hes got my wallet!" as a kid went running out the door.

I dropped my items  on the counter (I was in line to checkout) and sprinted after him.  About halfway across the parking lot the "WTF am I doing?" logic started to kick in.

Luckily, the kid jumped in a waiting car and took off.  All I could do was get the license plate #.  As I was walking back to the store, the security officer finally caught up.
