So it turns out that the video of the office worker going apeshit (I’ve included it after the jump) that made its way around the internet faster than your sister at a frat party was actually created by Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov, as viral marketing for his movie.
I don’t know how marketing works in whatever eastern bloc shit hole he’s from (hint: it’s Kazakhstan), but last I checked, the audience has to actually associate what they’re watching with the product it was created to market in order to be effective.
Not only that, but according to an unsubstantiated account of Bekmambetov’s blog post translated by Babelfish, his aim was to mock the audience, and prove how gullible and foolish us Westerners are. I don’t know where this a-hole gets off calling me gullible, but after I finish writing this cashier’s check to the rich Kuwaiti I met online and take these pills that will make me last all night, me, my fat wallet, and my big hard cock are going to hunt down this pinko and serve him a fist burrito.
Know who the original kings of viral marketing were? Viruses.



Yeah, and me pissing in the coffee pot today was part of a viral marketing campaign, too.
And I’d like to add: Fuck this guy, he’s Uwe Boll to me.
He does know that calling us all gullible and foolish is not doing him any good in my decision about whether I go see Wanted.
Angelina Jolie is in it? Oh, I’m there OPENING NIGHT BABY!
::stands on desk, clapping furiously::

This is easily the best sentence you’ve ever written in your life. Well fucking done.
Yes. We’re all gullible because every comment I read about that clip had people screaming it was fake….
In his defense, he did get Angelina to agree to work for babies.
I was just admiring that sentence myself, JHC. Are we allowed to nom Vance?
Isn’t Kazakhstan the country that’s suing Borat because he tricked an entire village into looking like dumb assholes for his movie?
This is their retribution? He makes a video that anybody would enjoy watching and we’re the gullible and foolish people?
I knew it was fake because I would have hit that bitch with the computer monitor.
Hey __ance, where’d you get those pills?
Nice effort, but you’re still not half the douche Michael Bay is.
In Soviet Russia, internet watches you!
When asked if he was tricked into believing the video was real, Will Smiff replied, "I half got ta get me one of dese monitors wiff wireless power and fideo!"
What a douche. The only reason I would see it now is the hot McAvoy-Jolie combination. But, I protest this guy. Cold War is on!
*Tearfully accepting award from JHC*
Thank you, thank you. Really, my raging hangover deserves all the credit.
James McEvoy was on Radio 1 yesterday and he said kissing Angelina Jolie was like kissing his grandma. Well i’ve kissed his grandma and she is hot. Not too keen on her habit of trying to finger my asshole though. Dirty cow.
So…um…yeah. This goes on for two whole minutes before anybody tries to stop him. This shit wouldn’t fly in my office. HOOWAH! *attempts to flex*
Ok, CB, you liked when I fingered your asshole. At least you said you did.
This guy must have gotten his start doing commercials for jeans and perfume.
Step one: film something that only barely has anything to do with what you’re trying to sell.
Step two: don’t tell anybody what you’re trying to sell until they’ve already lost interest.
Step three: try to make people feel stupid, fail miserably.
We could nominate it Al, but Vince seems more like a
catchergiver of recognition.Awwwwwwwww Freakout!
I will not see this movie. Even if my mom pays for my ticket. I’ll just tell her to wait for the first season of "Chuck" on dvd.
So that’s what Kevin Spacey looks like with a beard.
Somebody should really hold up a copy of Kiefer Sutherland’s new movie to this guy so he can take a long hard look at himself and re-evaluate his life.
That’s the video of me, when I find out Fek didn’t win CoTW.
Every Monday.
Yeah, Eibmoz, but Granny Mac’s got great big wanking paddles for hands. Fingers like sausages. I think she may have been a bare
breastedknuckle fighter in her day.Timur, eh? Was Pumbaa unavailable for comment?
/high fives an eight year old girl, then gives her back to Pauly
"GET ME A
WHOPPPERQWERTY!"Am i the only one that thinks Bekmambetov looks like a fat Kevin Spacey?
I am?
Fine. F you guys.
reluctantflux- Get out of my office.
A better office freakout was Andy from The Office. Short, and to the point.
hee hee ‘wanking paddles’
You know, paddles…for wanking…for the kids
I think he looks like a bearded Phil Collins.
Hey SuckMeBeautiful!, lets go to the water cooler and talk about the similarities between Timur Bekmambetov and Kevin Spacey. For example, they both have 5 letter first names! LOL!
Trying to pronounce Timur’s last name, makes me feel spacey.
Speaking of which, I thought this was about Andy and The Office and the guy in the pic was from the British Office.
If Kevin Spacey wore baseball hats, would he look like a non-bearded Timur Bekmambetov?
At least make the monitor chick pregnant.
I thought he looked like a henchman from Goldeneye for the N64.
At least make the monitor chick pregnant.
I’m working on it Burnsy.
Like slow pitch softball, Donk.
I agree with Eibz only because I heard Abacab on the way to work this morning.
That’s why the ratings for Donk & J in the morning are so high.
Phil Collins solo > Kevin Spacey > Phil Collins in Genesis

Flux- Did you know Spacey had a secretary named Bekmambetov and Bekmambetov had a secretary named Spacey? Crazy no?
Hey I got an idea, let’s see how many sticks of Big Red Burnsy can put in his mouth.
At 2:10 it looks like Phil Collins is trying to headbutt Guitarist Jesus.
SuckMe, both Bekmambetov and Spacey drive Toyota Camrys!
And they both wanted to fuck Mena Suvari but pussed out at the end. true story.
They’re both shitty directors, too!
Bekmambetov and Spacey have both stabbed Superman with a kryptonite shard, and still managed to fuck it up.
That video blew a viral load.
I’m late to the thread and no one’s reading this but I gotta say it:
Timur Bekmambetov can insult me all he wants as long as he makes another sequel to Night Watch.
