I saw one also. About an hour and half ago on MTV. It was a Cloverfield trailer, mixed in with another commercial, just like that. The commercial was about some girl singer, named terry, er something or other. Not that commerical.

It would have been cooler if they had a fake commercial, then make it look like the broadcast is being hacked and show fuzzy leaked images from chuai station, or some TIDOwave propaganda.

I mean hell, Radiohead had that crazy shit happening for Amnesiac (I believe it was) and it seemed to wonders for promotion even though it hardly made sense.

Once again, more and more disappointed with the way this is headed.

Predictable and uncreative.

What I got from it is like. It's showing a interuption of the daily life to show this breaking news. Even though its in a commerical form, I still got like someone got the camera and was trying to broadcast it to the world. Or at least america.

See what I'm saying?

Just my little input

Iconsummer. You read my mind. Surprised

It's something different at least. It's really random though.

Yeah I saw that too and it freaked me out. I was gonna post about it but I had no details...I was half asleep but hearing a cloverfield ad kinda woke me up. So I roll over to see if it's new and see this chicks face in the middle of a Cloverfield commercial. I was like OMG WHO IS THIS HOE. Then, she's all singing..Forgot her name but I googled it and she is some random singer (Who coincidentally has a concert on 1-18-08 ). Wonder how the other people whose commercial time is being interrupted feels about these?

the chicks name is kate nash and she is mtv's artist of the week... see mtv doesnt play music anymore except every week they have the artist of the week and show random clips of the artist/band during commercials and at the end of shows during the credits. cloverfield/paramount probably had absolutely nothing to do with this and just bought ad time for the trailers on mtv then they(mtv) put the kate nash bit on top

Exactly. They do this at almost every commercial break. It's really annoying, but I suppose it's amazing advertising.

They wouldn't have paid much. Viacom owns them all. Smile (I'm really starting to wish I could see YouTube at work)

which one would that be? reminds me of the new lost arg and the hacking of the video on a site, but not the tv commercial for the site Sad

Looks like they're trying to recreate the effect of the channel being hacked. Creative, at least! I do agree that it'd be better if it was images from the station (or something else TIDO might feasibly want people to see), but there've already been people thinking the collapse was for real, so maybe not such a good idea unless they're TRYING to instigate another War of the Worlds incident.
