I'm frightened. Are these people selling their services?

Hahahahaha, I almost choked on my coffee.
I want it to be real so bad. Please use them for the next Vancity TV spot.

I hope they're real. I'll pass along their info to our agency, I'm sure they'll be open to working with them.

Looks real. You just can't make this stuff up. Check out the other videos on their site like the one where they pretend that Dubya is talking to Ghandi. What were they thinking?

Morris, that is crazy. I mean it's too weird to be faked. It would be the work of genius.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. There's a new marketing principle at play here: BAD IS THE NEW GOOD.

Thats the hardest I've laughed on a Monday morning in a long time.
Ron has it right though. There is a tactic of creating something so bad that you cant help but laugh at it and pass it on. The only problem with that is, yeah I'm laughing at it and spreading the name of you company by passing it on, but the plug is so bad that I would never use your company's product.
