Maybe I’m a cynic, but this seems like the laziest stab at making a “viral” video yet. Samsung wants to promote their new Jet phone, so they pretended they pulled a crazy stunt in London.

The video shows a very fake-looking UFO coming in over Piccadilly Circus and elephants bungee jump out of it. OK. Then they interview people who are so amazed by the thing they didn’t just see.

If you’re going to do something crazy in public to promote your phone, actually do it. Then again, I’m posting it, so what do I know? [Brainstorm 9 via NotCot]
