It got my attention right away and was wondering if it was real or not. These viral campaigns are well constructed and it does grab the public’s attention right away.

It seems pretty involved. I saw some “news” videos, missing persons posters and people’s facebook pages. you can check them out on youtube

There sure are a bunch of viral campaigns out there now- But I LOVE them. I think they are so creative. It’s amazing what marketing for movies like D9, Cloverfield and A Perfect Getaway are doing now.

Some other movies like Cloverfield and A Perfect Getaway have also done viral marketing campaigns to promote their films as well. The District 9 one is well done and it has kept my attention. Hopefully the movie will be good.

Took advantage of my cold and started coughing claiming aliens are shooting gas in my yard.

This is a more awesome ad campaign than the fake Gotham websites!

Now I have to deal with this.

Seriously, I feel sorry for all the stray dogs and cats that will now never find homes.

I even tried to take that math proficency quiz (twice), but I keep getting 9/10 which is apperently not good enough. I don’t know if I should be disappointed or proud. I also read all of the blog posts of that alien and how he’s mistreated. All good stuff. These bilboards and ads are another nice touch. Very excited for the movie.

I think they should have taken their time and launched the sites in stages so we could appreciate them more fully.

Pretty rad to see in public, was surprised.
