While trying to whittle away unread items from Google Reader, I came across Rusell Beatie’s entry on the upcoming movie 2012. The trailer says “find out the truth, google search: 2012″ instead of the usual url link to the official movie site.
This isn’t really unusual. More and more ads are placing search keywords instead of actual urls. It’s easier to remember (and keeps SEOs employed, hehe). What’s unusual, though, is that googling for 2012 won’t bring up the movie web site, but links to the supposed mayan doomsday prophecy we’ve all heard since we were kids.
I’m not really that interested in post-apocalyptic science fiction films (I haven’t seen The Day After Tomorrow), but seeing the trailer made me wonder : if you this scene was happening right now, in front of you, what would you do?
(of course, since I haven’t even finished setting up this blog, I don’t expect anyone to answer :p )
