It’s fairly obvious by the above image that some of us at Kezins are not big fans of the insane ramblings of Zero Punctuation. Despite our lack of positive feelings for the videos, they seem to continue their popularity. The fact that nearly every episode of Zero Punctuation makes it to the front page of Digg.com certainly says that there’s a lot of people who continue to support the series. Hopefully no one takes this too seriously. We’re just poking fun at Yahtzee who seems to poke fun at all games. If you’ve never seen one of the crazy videos we’re talking about, here’s an example:
Most of us noticed the “Why every guy should buy their girlfriend Wii Fit” video on the front page of Digg.com yesterday. It turns out that the supposedly home-made video was more than likely something that came from the Tinsley Advertising Company. The sleuths over at Shoemoney discovered that the video was probably part of a Nintendo viral marketing campaign. I’m sure the video still would have been popular had this been known, but it is a shady form of marketing.
The actual video is currently well over 8,000 Diggs and will probably reach 9,000 before the day is over. If we’ve learned anything from this, it’s the fact that viral YouTube marketing strategies are still extremely effective and powerful.
