F.E.A.R. 2 To Be Advertised On Cats In London
arcticstoat writes "Warner Bros has revealed that it plans to advertise its forthcoming shooter, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, via a clowder of black cats roaming the streets of London on the game's launch day on Friday 13th. Branded a 'cat-vertising campaign', the scheme will see the specially trained black moggies sporting F.E.A.R. 2 cat clothing. The idea, according to Warner Bros, is that the creepy kitties will 'capture the attention of superstitious passers-by,' as Friday 13th is famous for its supposed bad luck and a black cat crossing your path was listed at number 5 in a recent survey of Britain's superstitions and signs of bad luck."
Hire a bunch of creepy little girls?
There is no such thing as a trained cat.
It's a law of nature that if you want a cat to do something, it will do anything else.
Unfortunately, if I were to see one of these cats outside when the ad campaign is live, the entire spooky/creepy effect would be lost on me and I'd assume many others like me, as I'd immediately associate cats with messages on them with "o hai! u can haz feer 2?"
Demanding constant attention will only lead to attention.
Perhaps you misunderstood your big brother when he was bragging about all the pussy he has eaten...
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
I swear to GOD I thought they could fly...
