This is just too hilarious not to mention. It’s not really ad-related but nods are made to brands in this video called My Box in a Box, a song by a Philadelphia girl that’s about a certain “box” nicely wrapped inside another box that pokes fun at cheesy pop videos and parodies the recent Justin Timberlake Andy Samberg SNL “Dick in a Box” skit. The song has become somewhat of a hit since its December 28 launch getting air play on New York’s Z100, Los Angeles’ KLOS, San Antonio’s KFOX and others. The My Box in a Box weblog, with the tagline “Britney showed the world her box…but my box is just for you,” claims the video has been viewed by a million people and, apparently, the girl wants Justin Timberlake as she keeps pointing to stories about Justin’s reported breakup with Cameron Diaz. Of course, there’s the ubiquitous accompanying MySpace page to go along with all of this.
The girl, who, with good reason, highlights her chest quite prominently in the video is, apparently, an up and coming singer who leveraging YouTube, MySpace and blogging for all it’s worth. Apparently this social media shit works.
