The mooninites are not amused by their omission. - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38ATTENTION!!!
This is the Boston police! We will blow this thread up if you don't cooperate! - jtbandes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Don't you mean A®d®o®b®e® P®h®o®t®o®s®h®o®p® Elements™ software™®©?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+35That's it, NOW you are in the terrorist watch list...and the city of Boston is freaking out with your comment.
- razrielle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Sorry, that was not a hair related comment
- palmerjp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21i feel that some of the images were manipulated with Adobe Photoshop software.
- TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Ignignokt : Hello, Carl, I am Ignignokt and this is Err.
Err: I am Err.
Ignignokt : We are Mooninites from the inner core of the moon.
Err: You said it right.
Ignignokt : Our race is hundred of years beyond yours.
Err: Man, you hear what he's saying?
Ignignokt : Some would say that the Earth is our moon.
Err: We're the moon.
Ignignokt : But that would belittle the name of our moon, which is: The Moon.
Err: Point is: we're at the center, not you.
Carl: No, the real point is: I don't give a damn. - jonwheatley, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11http://www.duggmirror.com
- williamhcosby, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Where are all the gorillas? Buried for the let down :(
- razrielle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Holy ***** it worked!! May the interwebs gods be praised!
- abbot, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Here comes the rant.
As a street artist I have to say that guerilla marketing; especially the kind that tries to pass it's self off as street art, sucks (moonintes included), and I can speak for a vast majority of my artist peers on this one. For example, the big artist backlash against the Sony PSP zombie children street campaign from a couple years back which was one of the first large scale instances of guerilla marketing. In the end you couldn't hardly find one of those adds that wasn't defaced by artists.
When it comes down to it these disguised adds are the product of a board meeting where a corporate exec says "we need something edgy and hip to reach the urban teen to 30 something demographic". A major principal behind street art is that every day you're assaulted with tons of billboards and exploitative adds from every direction trying to make you consume more and make impulse decisions to spend all your hard earned money, so why should a corporate body with tons of cash be allowed to invade my neighborhood & city when I can't beautify it with my art which I put there with no other motive than to make my neighbors happy. I don't want to be forced see what amounts to a commercial on the side of a building while I'm walking to the corner deli to grab a sandwich. I live and pay taxes in this city like everyone else, so why shouldn't I be given a say in how my local shared public space is used.
So now these corporate bodies are coming off of the billboards and into my territory with their "edgy & hip" adds in an effort to cunningly assimilate with that which is rebelling against them in the first place. It's a ***** deal that unfortunately works in many cases because the average American consumer is so brainwashed & busy being entertained that they don't know when they're being targeted. Unchecked consumer culture is VERY BAD folks. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7These images were enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements software.

decode this it is in binary now that is how to market to a geek. - Anderue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5What's with all the spammy comments here?
- idigit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Sorry for it going down guys. I'm on the phone with mediatemple as I type this.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@sp3kt4r
Nice one....here is one for you man, decode as one string. no line breaks.

- singletrack861, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Are there any other sites like this out there? This was really cool, even though I completely see where you're coming from, abbot.
- ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I'll probably get dugg down for this but it does load after a very, very long time.
- SixFeetUnder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/Great_examples_of_Guerilla_Marketing/
Yea no ref! - idigit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Server back up. Sorry for the wait!
- teedle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It looks cool to 99% of people though
- bsmsmbaphd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It is COVERT marketing, as in a young couple asking you
to take a picture of them at Time Square (using their
new digital cool camera). That young couple have been
hired by the camera company go go around Time Square
and ask people to take a look of their new camera (as in
"Hi! can you take a picture of us?" - briangig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think the only ones that fall into guerilla marketing are the sopranos one, and the barbecue one...the 3M one is clever though..
- D43PAN, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I don't think you have to be an artist to know that marketing is an industry run by whores. It's going to come to pass, very quickly, where the same distrust everyone has in the corporations, who lie to them every day of their lives, is transfered to their friends. If you ever hear yourself being called a "Navigator" or an "Opinion Leader" or a "Trend Driver" or a "Flagship" or if you ever receive a product for free from someone, you better find out every single thing about that product before you start passing it off to friends. They knew enough about you to find you and have you start hocking their ***** for them, so you be find out about them.
Just trying to stick up for the people who didn't go to art school and still hate these evil, lowest common denominator, culture leeching *****. - Zoshchenko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sorry, these innovative, original and creative marketing efforts are by no means "guerilla" in nature. They are hugely expensive attempts at cutting through the mass media clutter we find in television, radio and newspaper advertising. But ad agencies spent an incredible amount of time and money on these campaigns, which I agree are highly effective, but not guerilla in the way Jay Conrad Levinson and Seth Godin originally coined the term.
- seandfeeney, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5@yoos It's called bookmarking it for later to see it when it comes back up.
- rushiku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Real geeks would know that hex _is_ binary, simplified for human consumption, and would never, ever, convert binary into decimal - what would be the point of that?
Fear not, I'm not coming down on you. You explained quite succinctly that you can not be expected to know your ass from a register when you stated that you were a network admin. - southwestnut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2oh you are so right! I am not a geek, I am a nerd who spent almost a 4 years in the military as a network admin, I must have no idea what I am talking about!
If I wanted to talk in machine language, I would use hex, thats what the real geeks use. - TheFightForGood, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4just google it.
- ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@briangig
Yeah, the 3M one rocks.
That's a real vote of confidence for that glass though. If someone manages to break it, you just screwed yourself right there. - goemon4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2roflz, ATFHCMFFT pwnd! i say that holds the best guerrilla marketing campaign with their "highly explosive" light brights :D
- rajiwebstar, on 06/02/2008, -0/+1but it manages what they want it!
- southwestnut, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3do you want it converted to octal, hexadecimal, or just plian binary?
-a geek - theeXguy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Very interesting website indeed. That's what marketing is all about.
- southwestnut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1CTRL-ALT-DEL your brain and you might make sense
- djbelieve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Punktuation iz gud, two.
- TheSaladMan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3God I'm sick of that thing...
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I decoded it. It might not be exact, but I think I worked the gist of it out. It says the following:
You need to get out more. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5that really isn't the point of digging it, its not meant to act as a bookmark, its meant to vote a story as being newsworthy
using it to bookmark a story for later viewing is an abuse of the system - Shenaniganz08, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2thats a pretty lame ***** thread
really 4 pages and very little pictures - skyfire1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/Great_examples_of_Guerilla_Marketing/
- southwestnut, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Sony?
- sneeka2, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4No. No... Don't...! Gotta not to... Hold it!
Nooo~
In Soviet Russia, system abuses you!
*badumching*
Sorry, had to. :( - zerotothe5th, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@ southwestnut's post "ok the answers are as follows
119,119,119,46,103,111,111,103,108,101,46,99,111,109
what were you tring to market to us geeks again?" :
You're clearly not a geek because you don't even know how to read words written in binary. - southwestnut, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1ok the answers are as follows

Congratulations Consumer. You're letting them win. When was the last time you discussed a funny TV commercial you saw with your friends? How about talking with them about something that matters.
You know the reason that people like Al Kieda hate us is because of our ***** consumer money worshiping culture that we're spreading to the rest of the world. They don't hate our freedoms. They hate that we have so much freedom yet we choose to spend our time sitting in front of the damn TV all day.
Contrary to popular belief the people in the middle east are some of the nicest people in the world. I've visited Jordan before and while walking down the street random people would invite me in off the street to have tea & conversation with them for a few minutes. They are very kind and neighborly with everyone. 2 grown men who are good friends will walk down the street holding hands for reason other than they are friends. That's a freakin beautiful thing, but American's see it as weird & gay. They see that Americans would sell out their brother to make a buck. They see that we're all ***** to each other. They see communication becoming easier & easier throughout the world and they're scared because they know that their children would probably rather watch MTV than study their religion. I'm not saying that blowing up buildings in the answer because it's definitely not, but I'm saying that you should understand where they are coming from before judging them.
Sorry that I got a little off track there, but this stuff pisses me off sometimes. - southwestnut, on 10/12/2007, -9/+6shame, you forgot to give Adobe their due .......
