Dec 18 2007'Wall-E' Jumps on Viral Marketing Bandwagon
Pixar has merged viral marketing with high school-level Wal-Mart critique to create a website for Buy n Large, the fictional mega-coporation from their upcoming Wall-E. Buy n Large is buying-out the cardinal direction of north, changing its name to "Buy n Large North", according to one story on the site. Another claims BnL has made a new drug to make shopping more euphoric. The robotics page says humans shouldn't have to make political decisions, leaving it instead to machines.
Dude, that's totally like the shit these pro-consumerism conglomerates do, man. If pharmaceuticals could make a pill that makes you shop, they totally would. They'd probably create one that makes you like Bush, too, and I definitely do not. Pixar totally gets me. I wish they ran Fox News, but don't even get me started there.
Thanks for the tip, Metzger.

Thank goodness Pixar (a ©Disney, All Rights Reserved subsidiary) is fighting the battle against large conglomorations.

This site has been around for months. It came out about the same time that product video for the Wall*E line of robots showed up on some french movie website that you guys linked to when it was released. Where the hell have you people been since then, and what have you been smoking?

Um, blog site, not news site.
