Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Watch This

Click here to view the embedded video. I'll admit it: when I wrote my anguished screed regarding the ridiculous curated-Tweet Lincoln "Motor Company" advertisement-in-progress, I sincerely hoped that I would be wrong. I secretly thought: hey, there are some smart people involved, and "crowdsourcing" might produce the work of Shakespeare as easily as an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters. Boy, was I wrong. There's no sense in beating-up the ad. It's terrible and surely nobody thought it was otherwise at any point in the process. The "curated Tweets" are inane. The resulting story is less funny than a session of "Mad Libs" where you fill every blank with "cervix crusher". There's nothing positive to say about it. This is what happens when a stupid idea is dragged kicking and screaming to its pitiful conclusion. Something tells me the "Lincoln Motor Company" is coming out of the gate with three broken legs. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
