Greenpeace Darth Vader spoof campaign

Greenpeace have launched a nice campaign in response to VW apparently “using its huge political muscle to lobby against key environmental laws”, using a follow up video continuing from the Little Vader Star Wars Superbowl ad released earlier this year.  The Greenpeace video continues from the point the VW ad ends, in a quirky viral which includes miniature versions of the rebel alliance asking users to join them in their fight against the 'Darkside'.  Other activity included guerrilla takeovers of outdoor sites across the capital today, using the Darth Vader imagery with a url to their website www.vwdarkside.com

For those of you who haven't yet seen the original ad this can be found below, along with another video from Marvel which spoofed the ad for the release of the Thor movie in April.

So what do you think, is this a just move by Greenpeace and will gather adequate momentum?


Hat tip to Sheepers for sending this through!!

Have you ever thought about getting a full site? I think it would do well, I pay $5 a month for my Blog & Forum and its been about 6 months now & I have almost 15k members and make at least $100 a month off having 1 add below my blog post and 1 add below every forum post (The first forum post only not replies)

FYI You blog and you get bloggers for certain topics your not good with. Then make the forum an open community and it runs itself. As long as you update weekly (minimum) you'll be set
