Yep, the message was loud and clear!

Buy our crap and thank you for playing along, just like every other viral add that we are all sick of. Down in flames for horse books is what I see in the crystal ball.

It was a viral marketing campaign for a video game.

Wasn't that some shit. I don't believe it successfully marketed anything. All it did is piss people off and treat them like chumps. They won't be buying his shit anytime soon. That guy was an asshole.

I'm not sure which I think is funnier. That a bunch of people fell for the pronunciation book or that whole nobody/wos thing.

Meh. You're right, though. Making people look stupid is probably not the best way to market a product.

I agree to a certain extent. But when you think about it, he really didn't do anything wrong to piss anyone off. The people who are pissed are those who built it up with all these elaborate conspiracy theories only to be let down.

The game itself is an interactive ebook. So therefore, it took a little bit of interactivity and research to discover that Tom Bender was behind this, and he's associated with the game.

Regardless, I think it has a negative effect. I would certainly never buy from them knowing what they were trying to pull off.

Its similar to getting a telesales phone call at 9pm. I always ask them if they think its possible for me to buy from them under this annoyance scheme? And most agree themselves that its not.
