Hi Scoop.co.nz & Althecat Request Assistance With Promotion Campaign...

PLEASE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS POST

Hi people,

This is a request for the assistance of my BBV friends... both here in this forum and elsewhere on the web.

I would be delighted if you share this thread with people who you think might be able to help – basically I want people to help Scoop out with a promotion drive.

Anyway, here is the full story

…two days ago Scoop.co.nz (which some of you may recall helped out at the beginning of the BBV affair... see... http://www.scoop.co.nz/features/usacoup.html#thebeginning and which remains a dedicated follower of the issue) released a promotional video:

http://www.dontswallowjustanything.com/

In many ways this is a coming of age for us. It is an important branding statement saying something like:

"here we are, and we are planning on hanging around and here is where we intend to stand. That is: Delivering you no BS news, i.e. not the news you necessarily are used to. E.G. news of election fraud."

Plus it makes a not too subtle point about the news media in general. (The TV Guy version of the advert in particular probably makes this point in a way that an American Audience can understand.)

The advert is a bit shocking and designed to be distributed virally. I.E. we want people to email both the URL and/or some of the smaller files to their friends and encourage them to:

- Post links on their blogs and in forums

- Distribute the link or one of the smaller videos to their friends

Which brings me to the purpose of this post.

In the interests of achieving the above I would beseech the assistance of the BBV crowd hereabouts to support a posting here on DU (by recommending it) which promotes the target URL. If I get a bit of response here indicating that people are willing to help then I will proceed with the Main event. If someone else would like to compose the main event post on my behalf then that might be even better...

Please Note: at this stage I am just asking if people are willing to help on this task. In particular please do not actually recommend this post as I will try to produce another post that has a bit more style to it as the main event.

Kind regards
