Like a clumsy butcher trying to trim the fat off a mouse, this virally-intended hack job is supposed to promote the new Nokia E-Series Smartphone by enabling one to create a personalized message from an overbearing company CEO and send it to a friend. Trouble is, like that annoying “Head On. Apply directly to the forehead” commercial, this creation is so bad…uh…oh wait…we didn’t finish reading the release. OK. There it is. “The jerkiness of the clip transitions add nicely to the impersonal irony of the message.” There. That explains the hack editing job. Irony.
The clip is being seeded by Rubber Republic which tells us there’s an NDA that prevents them from telling us who created the piece. Hmm. A smart move. Wait until if and when it becomes popular, then take all the glory. If it fails, face saved.
