I already feel guilty for posting this. It doesn’t belong on this site. It doesn’t really belong on any site. It’s maybe the most inappropriate viral campaign I’ve ever seen. And yet: Here I am spreading the virus. The dichotomy between this music video and the movie it’s supposedly plugging, Dead Snow, is too compelling to leave it alone. It’s one of those “so crazy it just might work” ideas that’s so strange, I can’t resist.
Anyway, if you don’t know what Dead Snow is, here’s a refresher. In short, it’s a horror movie about Nazi Zombies.
And here is the viral video. It’s NSFW, although it’d probably get played on late-night MTV. And if you skip through the video, you’ll likely miss the Dead Snow connection. But it’s there. It’s tenuous as hell, but it’s there.
Oh, and if you watch this video, you’re probably going to hate me for a very long time. But, it’ll be fun to see if your eyes or ears bleed first.
I thought it was in a different language at first...
I guess I don't speak chipmunk.
But it is a nice ass...

So...this video is basically "ASS!!! Now that we've got your attention, watch Dead Snow", right? I thought the point of 'viral' campaigning was to be a tad subtler than that?

I always knew Nazi Zombies were evil, but that's really too much.
Posted by: Mrcreosote at June 3, 2009 8:10 PM
Jesus. Why the hell'd I watch that? I think I lost a critical amount of brain cells.
*drools* Big boobies go bouncy!

It was my ears. But only by a few seconds. I'm far more wooriid bout de lost of brayn celllllllllllllllllllllll.....................................
The only reason I watched beyond the first 10 seconds was in the hopes that some Nazi zombies would be dining on her brains by the end of the video. Guess she didn't have enough to even entice zombies.
And the naked boobies did NOT make up for the torture.

Hallelujah! I am cured. I can never again in good conscience claim to be an "ass man" after witnessing that narcissistic tripe...and I too thought the hook had to be that it wasn't just her eyes that were dead.

There is some serious gore in "Dead Snow" but nothing as frightening as the thought that the person in that video is a living, breathing human being and not some hideous CGI creation meant to frighten us all.
So I'll just say "Way to go ILM, that's one your scariest creations yet!"
I watched it with the sound off (didn't want to frighten the kids).
I thought it was funny as hell!
Loved the buff job!

So the "viral" campaign for Dead Snow is brought to us by the same dude that came up with Lazytown? Because I can think of no other reason for that popping up as an idea for anything. Guh.

Now that song will be stuck in my head for days. I don't look forward to nightmares I'll either.

Eyes. But I have no sound, so ...
That was some serious butterface there.

OMG that was teh awesome. Boobies boobies ass!

Was it just me, or did she look like somebody smushed Nicole Ritchie and Brittany Murphy together, then injected about a pound of silicone into the resulting morass of flesh?
And speaking as a guy with a continuing and unreasonable attachment to both those ladies, that description is not a good thing.
I must have had my sound turned up too loud, because there are now dogs hanging around outside my door. The last time that happened, it was because my niece was playing with a dog whistle.

I'd give the song a 1, but her ass a 10.

YES. Exactly right.
And now I'm gonna go and burn my eyes out of my head.

Why were there no zombies????
Posted by: missh at June 4, 2009 7:43 AM
boo. Is that the best they could do. If she was attacked by the end of the song and eaten alive I could understand but that? Nooooo. Fucking no. She isn't even hot and I bet she's boring as hell in bed.

turn the fucking voice ads off of this site.
Posted by: mothy at June 4, 2009 9:32 AM
That's actually an interesting type of ad. Was this her idea or is this a common thing? Anything an advertiser could want can be easily digitally inserted into the finished video, and voila! Instant ad. The fact that it's Dead Snow is kind of strange, and she's a hideous abomination made from plastic, but at least it got my attention. The same video could be used to sell Honey Nut Cheerios.
Ooh! I've got it! The tie-in is that this is what you will become after the zombies consume your brains. A vapid, plastic, chipmunk-voiced skank who thinks that aprons and a bed ruffles make for awesome outfits. Terrifying.
Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at June 4, 2009 11:02 AM
I think this will be a case of a marketing video actually besting the movie it's meant to promote, at least in "horrifying the shit out of you" terms. Nazi zombies? Pshaw. Now imagine finding one of these women splayed out in your bed late at night, only to have her command you to look at her ass in that hellish PCP-smoking-chipmunk-orgasming-into-ear-cavity voice...now THAT'S the stuff of nightmares...
Posted by: Pancho Ramone at June 4, 2009 12:27 PM
After 32 seconds I can confirm the ears definitely went first. Although if there's any form of nudity I might give it another (silent) swing. Dear godtopus, that chipmunk makes Paris Hilton sound like a fucking virtuoso.
i fucking HATE Trailer Addict. HATE. Every time I try to play these goddamn trailers, I get one half-second at a time of play followed by a 5-10 second pause.
EuroPop is scarier than any horror flick...someone needs to make "Aqua vs. Jason."
Posted by: stryker1121 at June 4, 2009 9:30 PM
sweet jesus.
I have tickets to see Dead Snow next week, and i'm going to be terrified the whole way through the film that this 'woman', her 'song' or her 'ass' are going to cameo...
Posted by: anja at June 5, 2009 9:00 PM
Oh. Wow.
Actually I guffawed. Maybe it's because I'm somewhat over-tired right now, but come on... that's so stupid it's funny! Heh. Guffaw.
Dustin, what are you doing?
