http://www.valleyprblog.com/hype/funny-for-your-friday/ A (dry heated) group blog from Phoenix, Arizona on public relations, marketing and social media Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:48:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.valleyprblog.com/hype/funny-for-your-friday/comment-page-1/#comment-4247 Jim Veihdeffer Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:06:40 +0000 http://www.valleyprblog.com/?p=1159#comment-4247 Bloody brilliant, eh wot! I loved every frame...as opposed to the viral piece -- cell phones popping popcorn -- that I'm more and more thinking is the epitome of self-deluding evil. I'm not going to even mention the product that it is surreptitiously promoting for the same reason that baseball games don't show crazed fans who jump onto the field, but the perpetrator of this alleged bit of fun seems to think that it's OK to fool people into thinking cell phones are dangerous because "people think it's funny." Well, the only people <i>I hear laughing are the shills in the video. His self-satisfied explanation "We didn't intend to scare anyone" rings as hollow as a political commentator whispering off-mic.
