Pjotro - aka The Man With The Musical Suit - is "upset that his [viral ad for Nokia] was leaked".

Here he is in [heavily Nokia-sponsored] action in a 'battle' with Dj eFFeX [not that I have any clue who the fuck Dj eFFeX is]. Found via the increasingly-irrelevant webbys.

Didn't someone create a similar project 20 years ago? I could've sworn seeing someone using the same getup on Beyond 2000, except the outfit had purple/blue-black Spandex. In p[lace of the headband, the performer wore wraparound shades and a telecom headset.

That blog only has three previous entries, all of which have plugs for Nokia. This is the viral, not a viral gone wrong. It's also bullshit. Bullshit bullshit bullshit.

I'm sorry that my sarcasm didn't come through as loudly as it should've.

When you deliver it exactly the way a member of the Nokia street team would, then yes, it is hard to spot the sarcasm.

Bollocks. The site says he was upset his video was leaked and my post says he was "upset that his [viral ad for Nokia] was leaked".

If you can't get that I was poking fun at the fact his 'blog' is a naked ad for Nokia, it's because you can't fucking read.

No, it's because you can't fucking write.

Well Nokia got the joke, and they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Strangely, I feel no urge to buy a Nokia phone.
