Even More on Those Interesting PUMA Ads

So no doubt, you have all seen these ads by now. And of course you now know they are fake. And Gawker says it is “The company’s most successful viral marketing campaign, and they’re trying to shut it down.”

To wrap it all up, Felix Salmon of felixsalmon.com spoke with Peter Kim at PUMA and got the company’s side of the story. [via Gawker]

So, to be clear for the lawyers, they are fake. I know they are fake. We all know they are fake. These ads did not come from PUMA so says PUMA.
