We’ve all seen our share of bad viral marketing, but this will probably forever take the cake as the absolute worst viral marketing stunt EVER.
Did they hit all the check points? Let’s see…
– Cast two complete and utter tools – CHECK
– Use camera phones to underscore the fact that this isn’t at all sincere – CHECK
– Play a prank that is unfunny, unoriginal and in bad taste – CHECK
– Insult mom and pop establishments in the midst of our dire economy – CHECK
– Play up the fact that they’re two white dudes insulting minorities- CHECK
– Wag their sponsor’s corporate cock in the face of the little guys – CHECK
– Describe the video in pseudo-casual YouTube speak – CHECK
(Just me and my buddy Joey havin’ some fun with our local pizza joints… Cuz why not!?)
– Fail to score a lot of hits on YouTube despite being backed by Pizza Hut – CHECK
– Astroturf the comments section with fake love in YouTube-speak (lol cooooool) – CHECK
