Getting the truth out of promo videos
I made this!
I was sent a press release by Lockheed Martin a while ago - you know, that nice company that sells weapons - saying how green they are because people in their head office do all sorts of neat things.
Then I looked at some of their other videos and decided to mix them together a bit. All except the last one (an edit of the Wikileaks video) are LM's own stuff!
(Lockheed Martin make the rangefinding gear for the Apache helicopters used to shoot up the journalists' rescue van.)

I'm amazed at the amount of shite companies send me - they really think I'm going to write nice things about them :-o

awesome job.
well put together. why do they send you stuff?
"come on, let us shoot."
the promo stuff reminds me of the terry pratchett line about the patricians torturers who have "greatest dad" mugs and postcards from Klatch about how the most evil stuff can be done by people who go home to their wife and kids.
*clicks*
"clear."

Sending me stuff
Could be that PR companies are just really stupid, or they genuinely think they are doing good things - uber-denial.
Either way, I always send them a link to the article when I write it; rarely get a response, though :-(
