LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...that just made my day .

They even did a news special. That is funny.

 

[MAb]

Should this go under "anything special happening at the screenings?"

Not sure if anyone is afraid of 42E being sued (my best friend is a law student so, the first thing on her mind is always liability), I have it good authority that this was a copycat promotion.

42E wouldn't be so dumb as to send cakes.

So to ask once again... has anyone in the US tried calling the number? I'm in the UK and sick of paying international call rates from my mobile to get voicemail. lol

As I posted earlier, I called with the 210 area code and got a voicemail with no name.

[PrinceOfKnaves]

Wow, there is actually a thread on this already? I thought I was the only SA Hype member in this section. Well then...

 

[Part_Of_Th_Plan]

So, we discussed this in line at Phoenix, and we spent a great deal of time laughing. I think this may be my favorite bit of confused movie promotion ever. I mean I knew the promotion for this game was off the hook, but I'm serious, not only is this solid gold comedy, that's publicity you can't buy.

 

[BigDogW]

it is just like the ATHF boxes in Boston where they had the every one paniced

 

[DARKMETHOD]

the imax movie theater promotion team went all out on this idea. what happens is that when they called the number they were asked to meet up at a certain location on july 17th @ 8pm. the location was the imax theater...
they also did a small video of the joker face painted on the side of the building to make it look like the joker had done it.
under the cake were press passes for the event. the PR for imax theater was keeping in the spirt of the marketing theme and did the cake.
lmao but it was the news people or should say the 'front desk' who got scared.

lmao all in all it was a great joke and idea. the news people just made it worst by not calling the number instead choosing to call the bomb team. imo

 

[Puppet Johns]

The best part of the video is the self-righteous reporter talking about how all the other news stations in San Antonio eating their cakes and laughing at KENS 5 but KENS 5 were the only ones that cared about their staff's safety.

I don't know if this helped, but as of this morning 6 of the 9 IMAX showings have sold out for 7/18. From what I've heard the joker has kidnapped the spurs coyote and he'll be saved or released Thursday night at some movie promotion thing they are having. There was also an ad a local paper recuiting clowns for work.

 

[mongoose-mania]

That's one of the funniest things I've ever read.

"You've seen the cake... what would you have done?" Well, I would have called the phone number before I got my panties in a bunch. lol.. what dumbasses. What makes them look even worse is how they admitted that the other news stations just ate their cake and are now making fun of them for calling in the bomb squad. I love it.

 

[Tannim]

ROFLMAO! That's hilarious! That theater really didn't think things through before delivering that cake. Not to mention how stupid are you to just stick the charger into the box (without a bag) so it can get coated with icing?
