T-Mobile ad is scam! (dance, myspace, track, quote, artists)

Jesspassiton · 02-16-2009, 05:06 AM

Hey everyone, got a bit of a rant as I (did) LOVE the t-mobile ad at Liverpool street station - the one where they flash mob and dance - as i thought it was really clever, funny and orginal. This weekend however, my friend showed me this vid on you tube - "Je Suis un Dolly" Go to 1 minute 24 to see how yet again the big boys are doing as they please, without caring who suffers as a result as long as they gain. I think this group deserves some recognition as they CLEARLY did it first! (this video for out in September - way before the t-mobile ad!) Is there is no hope for small artists with orginal concepts in this world?!

I think its sad that they have copied another young band, but we all know that flash mobs have been going on for a while... Obviously tmobile are a huge company and so can publicise it far more. It did look really fun tho and I have heard a rumour on the K.I.G myspace that there is going to be a flashmob to their new song sometime this week in Leicester Square. I feel bad for the original people but it does look like great fun and i would love to take part.

Not that I care, but this sounds pretty shifty.
