Times Square Video Screen Hacked with an iPhone
I didn’t post about it when I first saw it because I suspected a hoax. Turns out, I was right. It wasn’t even two guys faking hacking a Times Square video screen. It was a movie studio faking two guys faking hacking a Times Square video screen.

From TFA:
“They believe that you can get the public more interested in a product by starting a conversation than with a traditional advertisement. Does it work? Well, you’re reading this, aren’t you?”
But I’m not reading that because I’m interested in the movie. I probably won’t go to see the movie.
I’m reading that to see what is happening in faked videos being used by corporations.
Now that the “secret” is out, will interest drop because it is “solved”? And will the movie flop as a result?
Or will the studio fall back to traditional advertising?
