Viral Video 101: Today’s lesson, “Trying to make people look at the LG Secret”
  • 5 Comments

Yeah, I don’t know what’s up here either. It’s basically a “viral video” for the LG Secret which is supposed to show that the phone is indestructible. Why should we all care? I don’t know. Clearly wiser minds than ours have tackled the problem of selling a me-too cellphone to a bored and unruly populace and this is what they decided would get the most traction.

  • yea its indestructible, except that if you turned the phone off the LCD would be broken and so they keep the phone off the whole time. Also they use a shitty resolution so you couldn’t really tell if it was scratched or scuffed anyway.

    And finally LG blows

  • Is this an Unruly media pay per view post? If so, that blows.

    We’re looking for publishers who would like to run the video on a commercial basis. If you’re interested, we can give you a standard video player to embed on your site and pay you for every UK view of the video. We run about 5-10 video campaigns a month across the Unruly Media network, for some big-name technology brands, and I think that the kind of clips we run would go down really well with your audience.”

  • Please spare me from the Unruly Spam machine – they want blogs to turn themselves into an add network so they can serve their crap ads and give us crap cpvs – 1c CPV for for promoting a Nokia clip? Are you crazy! Go Viral are no better either!

  • Yet another Go Viral spam viral? Its amazing they keep ripping off agencies with this crap!
