Think Big!

[Gran Turismo]

I was just wondering that the weirdest and quirkiest "viral" marketing campaign supposedly made by :bmw: to date hasn't been discussed here yet.

Here's the movie, go see it yourself (warning - 30 minutes, so take your time)
http://www.rampenfest.com/

Even the featured places and businesses have their own websites:
http://www.oberpfaffelbachen.com
http://www.brendlevents.de/
http://unterholznerbau.de/
http://www.petersbackerei.de/
http://www.cafepress.com/rampenfest
http://seppstunts.de/
http://www.bmw.de :mrgreen:

Why I think BMW is behind all this:
- The movie comes across as too "professionally" made for an amateur video blogger, it looks well-funded and well directed
- Only Bavarians could be able to depict the rural Bavarian lifestyle and characters in such a satirical way, regardless if exaggerated (like the teeth) or subtle. I had to watch the movie twice because of ROTFLMAO the first time!

As a footnote...don't you think they all seemed a little TOO comfortable with those fangs?

And what was with those chocolate pigs?

And what was with those chocolate pigs?

Forget the pigs...how about the Hefeweizen :cheers: my favorite!

BTW, I thought "viral" ads were on YouTube for propagation...I've never seen this. It is much too slick (production) for your average YouTube offering.

The whole thing rocked.

The 30 minute movie was very entertaining.

Did you see in the beginning all the BMWs he covered up through the window by his hand?

Thanks for the video. I sent it to my brother to watch on his 3G iPhone.

Oh, definitely exaggerated.:scared:
