A few weeks ago Coca Cola launched a new "viral" online campaign. The campaign flopped, mainly due to the fact that they underestimated their audience. I see this happening time and again. I could go on about it, but there's some pretty good coverage at SMH.com.au and in the B&T blog. Alternatively, there's the anti-website and a couple backlash blogs.

Jeeezus,

Imagine if Advertising agencies didn't do ads, ran airlnes. You'd have to live underground to protect yourself from the crashing planes.

And you'd all stare in wonder and awe, at the one that flew across the sky.
