Law Firm Gets Weird With Wacky Lederhosen Video

Courtesy of law firm Hanson Bridgett, here’s another contender for the WTF award. In the video, we’ve got four musicians (lawyers?) dressed in Lederhosen playing a tune as they walk to the Hanson Bridgett offices. That’s it. Nothing else happens in this video save the appearance of what looks to be Apprentice bitch Omarosa towards the end.

In terms of the video’s oddness and queries into the meaning of the video, Hanson Bridgett Partner Garner Weng would only say, “That’s the beauty of it. If you’re wondering, there is a specific message we were trying to deliver, but it’s a secret.”

Apparently, to set themselves apart, the firm thinks this viral video thing is the way to go. Managing Partner Andrew Giacomini said, “We examined the viral video medium and quickly recognized it was a great way to reach a new generation of people. In looking at the medium, we quickly recognized that it was not appropriate for traditional law firm messaging but would require something completely different.”

Different, indeed. And we’re not even going to go into our lecture about how a video is NOT A FUCKING VIRAL until it actually goes viral. On it’s own, the video is amusing enough. W just really wish the secret Weng refers to wasn’t so secret. Who knows, maybe their hiring Omarosa. The video was created bu Groove24 Productions’ David Burns.
