Was watching adult swim last night and theis dumb commerical about platform jumping came on for the 3rd time in 1 night so I hopped on my PC and went to their website: http://www.getgoatz.com/ . I thought it might be a little funny but its not really. Come to find out its a indirect way to get people to use this game service called Game tap. If you poke around the site for awile you will eventually come across this link:
http://www.gametappowerup.com/campaigns/collect/edb692308e511f4a724ca0fbb9019360
Anyone else wonder why they went through this much effort to get customers and if it will work?>

I saw both of those commercials and wondered what they were about.

demographic: nerds + anime geeks + teens
all of which hart the internets.
so when they look it up they think they are elite crime solving super heroes.

and so they tell their friends on message boards... and word gets around.

memetic advertising is cheaper than massive media blitzes that the jaded consumers tune out or ignore.

Younger kids might find it funny but I really doubt anyone 17-25 would give it the time of day. I just dont see this being successful for the money they're dumping into sponsoring adult swim.
