Sometimes viral marketing campaigns can be pretty awesome, even if they go a little unnoticed. We haven't received any tips from New Yorkers who saw people flying around the city, but it happened, and now there's video. more ›

This afternoon, we received a tip with the subject line "Nude Gaming Party in NY," with the note, "had no idea this was going on in this city, but then again anything goes here." Instead of deleting the email, like we normally do when we see something with the word "nude" in the title, we decided to open and cautiously examine the video. In the name of science, of course. And lo and behold! We were in for a treat. (Warning: video borderline NSFW) more ›

Facebook is about to launch a new ad feature called "Sponsored Stories," in which users who check into Facebook while, say, visiting Starbucks, will simultaneously become potential spokespersons for Starbucks. (It also applies to products you "like" on Facebook.) Corporations interested in this form of "organic advertising" will have the option of paying Facebook for users' profile images and product comments, to use as an ad that's seen on their friends' pages. Facebook users, however, won't have the option of opting out. Here's a friendly video explaining your new unpaid gig as a brand ambassador. more ›

Does last night's big Massachusetts victory for the tea-bagging right have you contemplating jumping off a bridge? Be careful how you time it, because you might end up landing in a delicious vat of chocolate and peanut butter (instead of dead). It happened to the guy in this video, who appears to be jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge just for the hell of it, and certainly not for some kind of stupid advertising stunt. Corporate America really missed a great opportunity here, because this would have been such a clever way to subtly promote all sorts of products, and then get the Internets to spread brand awareness for free! more ›

If this video is real, get ready to have a new fear after absorbing all 5 minutes and 51 seconds of it. In short: this guy noticed food missing from his apartment and set up a hidden camera, the footage of which showed a woman living in a lofted storage area and coming out in the middle of the night to raid his fridge and pee in his sink. We sort of want it to be real in the same way we wanted the Blair Witch Project to be real. more ›

Last month the World's Fastest Nudist was just a mysterious, fanny-pack wearing man trotting through the boroughs, scaring young children, and posting videos on YouTube. After getting coverage both online and on screen — it even made it to the desk of Anderson Cooper — the veil has been pulled off: he's just another marketing tool, and we've all been duped. more ›

The long delayed Grand Theft Auto IV is finally coming out soon, and it seems the marketing campaign has come off the screen and into the 3rd dimension. Where best to bring the faux Liberty City (based on New York) than to the streets than Williamsburg. Kotaku spotted a Wanted poster on the corner of Lorimer and Grand suggesting one Niko Bellic be shot on sight. more ›

An actress who insists her screaming orgasm was misrepresented in a web ad is suing Szul, the jewelry company who hired her. The 35-second spot depicts the 37-year-old woman – identified in court papers as Jane Doe – wearing a teal teddy while writhing and moaning in bed. When her ecstasy turns climactic, the ad’s slogan appears on the screen: “Rock Her World.” Genius, right?! more ›
