Haven't seen anything of the like, and I've asked people I know personally and they've not seen or heard of this either

Wow, that reminds me of the disaster at the beginning of the game, Hitman: Blood Money. That involved a falling ferris wheel, too.

Woah, I think I may have found something like it.
Probably not the commercial and oog, but, here you go:

Also, it's EXTREMELY low tech.

Wow, there seem to be a lot of videos of the London Eye being destroyed, but the one I saw hasnt made it online. I wish I could record it and put it on next time its on TV but I dont really have any way of doing that.

Been trying to find this everywhere! Not a mention of it anywhere online though. Frustrating, I want to see it for some sick reason Twisted Evil

Not sure about Quiet's commercial, but the vid I found and the site you found, degravedi seem to be directly related. The date (2005) supports that.

Was there any text on the commercial you saw, Quiet?

Nope, no text at all. Thats what really lead me to believe it might be the start of something. It just ended abruptly, I think with some static like the video cut out.

The actual effects werent low budget either, the camera was fixed and you could clearly see the Eye rolling away. It seemed like maybe the kids at the beginning were supposed to have set up the whole thing.

Can I ask what channels(s) you've seen it on? Might help the search.

I remember it was on Paramount yesterday, and I think ITV1 as well.

Wow, we may have stumbled upon two similar, yet unrelated, ARG Trailheads, here!

I'm going to keep looking around in youtube for that commercial.
