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

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!
