In case you missed it, today’s viral marketing is courtesy of Tipp-Ex, a German maker of white out. While I am not planning on buying white out to use on my computer screen (apologies to blondes who have suffered though all of those jokes), this is better than Burger King’s Subservient Chicken. While this is interactive, it is not as customized as the Old Spice campaign from earlier this summer.
This is a great little hack. Note that the numbers on the page don’t increase with views. Animal rights activists will be pleased to note that the bear usually wins.
It is still summer vacation so my daughter and had fun finding words to type in. some are hilarious. There are also two or three for words that don’t work. We couldn’t find a comprehensive list anywhere online so we made our own.
Enjoy! Here’s what we found:
moons
shoots
feeds
walks
plays with
farts at (full credit to my daughter for this one!)
pee (yes, again evil genius daughter)
watches TV with
whites out
loves
hugs
showers
shakes
jumps
calls
photographs
dances with
sings to
eats
smokes
rides
fishes with

We had that one for “plays with” which is coming up as something different. You get the same as “soccer” with just about any sport. I’m sure the hunter liked filming that one best.
Another one that works is
soccer
drive
I loved it… Yeh soccer works too.. awesome
We found the “soccer” click when Violet suggested “plays chess with”. It seems that just about any sport or game brings up that one. We had it down as “plays with” but that looks to be rock, paper, scissors.
There was a comment a few minutes ago pointing to a talk at TED by Barry Schwartz called “The Paradox of Choice” and posing that “A Hunter Shoots a Bear” is an example of “Why More is Less”. The video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO6XEQIsCoM
I disagree. This is an Easter Egg hunt. I doubt many people will search for all of these and more (or even watch all of the ones listed here). I wouldn't have done so many if it weren't part of today's “summer camp”. This was pure entertainment.
I agree with the “More is Less” concept. I remember in the early 1990's when I had friends from Germany visiting. We went to the supermarket, and they walked up and down the cereal aisle perplexed. “Why do you have so many kinds of cereal to choose from?” Their plates remained empty for a few minutes as they walked back and forth at the salad bar at RJ's restaurant. I remember shortly thereafter my friend Delphine from Belgium marveling at the size of the Sunday LA Times.
While we have too much choice, I don't think that this is an example of it. Some of the clips aren't as strong as others, but we sure had fun finding the best ones and laughed at most of them. If the writing weren't as good as it was for this stunt, then maybe it would have been less.
and you can even use f**k^^
I Like to add “cry with” and “happy with”
Strikes.
“Mounts” works too
Here are a few more (a lot of duplicates):
mows with
! (?,2,3,4,6,7,8,9)
poo
growls at
wrestles (1 or 5)
shot by (same as pee)
My daughter just told me to try “is”. I think that is the final clip.
kicks
