Attempted Viral Video Ad Campaign Implodes

A certain dot com agency went (way) out on a limb and is taking a beating for what might prove to be one of the most lame, and comment thrashed, attempts at creating a ‘viral’ web video to-date.

There are plenty of people flaming about it so we won’t pile-on anymore than that. It was actually this unsolicited response which ‘does work’ that prompted us to post the drama via Madison Ave.
