John

That was very interesting.
Although i am sure it was an advertising fake, the comments were hilarious, ranging even more OT than our forum does. How a fake art article could raise responses ranging from what is art, to carbon footprints, global warming, terrorist bombs, the speeling of a town, the end of the planet etc etc etc.

Bloody hilarious, thanks for that.
Cheers, Dalb

Interesting to some extent.... I've been looking at how big companies are using utube et al, for viral marketing - that's really what this is. Ok if you've got the time, but they rely on people like us, and social networking sites like ours to tell others about it, and link to it, so just like a virus, everyone gets immersed in the branding - anyone that watches it, remembers it was a DHL advertisement don't they! And that cost them nothing other than to produce the clip, fake or not.
