Samsung HD Video trick challenge.
This is a fascinating YouTube Video riddle by Samsung. Let’s see if you can find out how it works:
April Fools Day from YouTube
Nope, this is not about their current struggle with the rights of music videos in several countries (including Germany and the UK). It’s about their „new“ design, which they introduced today!

Pharrel vs McDonalds
While in Paris on a connecting flight, Pharrel tries to order a Big Mac while it’s still 6am – and the french staff neither know Pharrel, nor do they want to offer him anything but breakfast – and last but not least they don’t seem to know him and aren’t impressed at all by his musical performance:
McDonalds obviously has nothing to do with it:
A McDonald’s rep confirmed that the stunt wasn’t commissioned by the fast feeder. However, he was impressed with the publicity. The rep said: „We were surprised and entertained by the video of Pharrell performing [our jingle]. We certainly welcome him as a customer, and we appreciated his spontaneous and funky celebration of our food.“
And I wonder: what will McD do next, how will they appropriately (digitally) respond to this video, which gathered half a million views in only a few days?

This craziness was now used for a rather nice viral by Samsung:

Zuji: Saving on Baked Beans for better holidays.
This isn’t so new any more, but I had this in my drafts and definitely wanted to share it with you. Zuji, an online travel agent, launched a rather unique campaign to illustrate the great possibilities to save money for nicer holidays:
The main thing of this was probably the ways the video made it’s way through the web… a good viral campaign.
