If you have the time, you should really check out this interactive video the people at DiGi have put up on YouTube. If you don’t have the time, drop whatever you’re doing and make time. It’s really worth a look.
In the video, you follow the story of J.P who has a spooky encounter with the supernatural kind, as you go through the video, you’re presented A or B choice to help J.P survive his gila scary night (Note to mobile viewers, the options will not be available on YouTube mobile. Doesn’t work on iPad as well. So you’ll need to watch the video on your computer if you want to watch the video all the way to the end).
The video is of course promoting DiGi’s Gila Internet sale but instead of the run-of-the-mill humdrum ad, DiGi opted for this really creative approach to get us to watch the video.
It’s genuinely scary, it’s funny and at the end of the video the message comes across loud and clear, as an added bonus, because the video is so entertaining some of you would want to share it with your friends, can’t ask for more from an ad really.
Thanks @841001 for the tip.
Over 2 million views on YouTube and counting, the ultra-slim TV was in full view throughout the video as well. Amazing! Nice one LG.
Viral video praises the Galaxy Nexus at the expense of the iPhone 4S

This viral video from Hong Kong pokes fun at Apple fans standing in line to purchase the iPhone 4S. The video follows the same concept and treatment as a series of commercials that Samsung aired in the US that also poked fun at Apple fans standing in line for the iPhone 4S.
The difference is where in the US commercial it is clear that Samsung was behind it with this one, the link is not as distinct. There’s no Samsung or Google branding except for the Galaxy Nexus being mentioned a number of times and the obvious attack on Apple with the mocking of the iPhone 4S and Siri.
What’s interesting about this video is that it was shot at the same location where people actually stood in line to purchase the iPhone 4S. The location became infamous because the people standing in line created such a ruckus that the Hong Kong police had to come and disperse.
But this is not the first time Samsung deployed viral videos to promote its mobile devices. Earlier this year, Samsung launched a viral campaign that was masked as a street video showing a local celebrity getting into an argument with his girlfriend.
The video, which received over 1.5 million hits in its debut week, featured the celebrity having quarreling with his girlfriend over a smartphone. The topic revolved around how the celebrity is not giving the girlfriend enough “holding hand” time because both of his hands are preoccupied operating his smartphone.
Head on over to after the jump for a translated transcript of the video above and the earlier viral video that Samsung released in Hong Kong. Let us know what you think about the videos in the comment section as well.

Alright so the title has probably spoiled it for some of you but even knowing that this video is sly Fujitsu marketing gimmick, it’s still bloody good to share it around. The jury is still out on whether the dude actually did draw a pencil artwork copy of the Monalisa just by spinning the tablet digitizer around, but it sure does look convincing.
It’s fun to watch too.
Check it out right after the jump.
This is provided of course you are pinned down under a vending machine. Not sure what to make of what you’ve just read? Perhaps we should introduce you to El Vendor first.
El Vendor is a series of five viral videos created to promote the Android platform. We’re not sure what the inspiration behind the narrative was but here’s how it goes, the hero was working late one night and got pinned under a vending machine while trying to get a snack.
While under the vending machine, the man became the most productive he has ever been, all thanks to his Nexus S. What happens next, you’ll have to catch the videos to find out. There are five videos in the series and all of them are waiting for you right after the jump
Anti-iPhone video gets dude fired

A dude form Best Buy in the US created this video about a customer that just wants to get an iPhone 4 because everybody else wants one. The video is very vulgar and the employers of the creator decided that he’s not the kind of person they want working in Best Buy anymore, so now apparently they are trying to fire him.
We don’t know if it’s out of frustration or he’s just trying be funny or if he’s just plain mean of if it’s all of the reasons combined but we don’t think he deserved what he got for producing this video. Plus whatever happened to freedom of speech? If we didn’t read reports that the video was made by a dude who works in Best Buy, we wouldn’t even make the connection. He should be able to keep his job.
In any case the video is a viral success, racking in close to a whopping 2.5 million views in less than 2 weeks. CGC FTW!
Speaking of the iPhone 4, what’s your take on the device? With all its antenna issue and what not, will you get it once it gets here? For us, the jury is still out. The Samsung Galaxy S with Android and Swype is a very enticing proposition for would be smartphone buyers.
Head on after the jump the see the video plus a bonus response video to the original.

Most probably, not.
Well that’s another thing iPhone users are going to pound up your watchamacallit when they see this.
Super cute and super talented, this Japanese/Korean, musically inclined techno babe known as Applegirl002 made videos of herself performing pretty impressive covers of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face and Beyonce’s Irreplaceable using nothing but a few iPhones she just happen to have lying around.
Check out the videos after the jump.
Did we tell you that she is super cute?
