- I think this is the dangerous trend we are on that the media only tells people what it wants and attempts to manipulate than allow people to make up their own mines

A respected consultant on business brand and image asked me the other day what I thought the right strategy was for companies on YouTube. This video is Exhibit A.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to hire Tiger Woods to make your viral video. Now if only Smith and Wesson would make an ad starring Leeroy Jenkins, then we'd have an innovative web video ad campaign.

I assumed that the whole thing was set up. That the 'Levinator25' video was manufactured, and the subsequent ad created as a response to it. That said, Levinator25 has been on YouTube for over a year, apparently. Mind you, EA could probably convince YouTube to manufacture an 'old' user account with enough cash.

I'm with jreneau on this one -- that is indeed Exhibit A. I wish more companies would do that instead of firing up the legal outrage machine. As to cynicism... I wouldn't think any marketing department to be that clever, honestly.
