What Happened In Peidmont? Viral Marketing Killed Everyone.

What happened in Piedmont?  It’s a viral marketing campaign set up by A&E to promote their remake of “The Andromeda Strain.”  There, I just saved you 5 minutes of browsing.


I’m getting sick of these stupid viral campaigns.  I appreciate the effort, but I find it somewhat patronizing, and more than a little irritating.

Come to think of it, so is regular advertising.  So, carry on, I guess.  I’ll just get back on the internet, where the advertising is more easily ignored.

Oh yes, and I am well aware that it’s spelled “Piedmont”.  I misspelled it in an attempt to save the percentage of people who will certainly make the mistake while googling.

    Agh, thanks! I went to the website I saw in the commercial and was totally confused. All I could think is this is stupid, how the heck is there a tv commercial if this kid can’t even scrape up the $ to ride the bus. . .
