Here it is, the russian office breakdown was a viral ad

submitted by spoco2

1 decade 6 years 9 months 1 week ago

The director of 'Wanted' has said he made this as an ad for the Russian release of the movie as stated here.

This shows the start of the video we all know and love and intercuts it with first person video showing that it was indeed all done for this music video. It even includes footage from the 'missing minute'

And I stood up for it being real.

Do I feel stupid? Not really, it was very, very well done.

And this is a great example of viral marketing at its finest.

Moving this video to spoco2's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

No one else is interested by this viral hoax done well? No amount of *beg ging will work?

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter spoco2.

Didnt suspect it was a fake at all. Niceley made, shame about the music though.

Really? I liked the song. I don't speak a word of Russian, so he could be singing about goat-humping nannies but I don't care.

Also, viral ads are fucking stupid.

No one likes a know-it-all...but I told ya. tee hee!
