Sigh....
So today I am going to embarrass myself by posting the most ridiculous video made of me from Comic Con.
It happened as I was browsing around taking pictures of random booths, I took a shot of the interestingly decorated 42 Flavors booth.
Needless to say I was intrigued by by a monster Strawberry.
After taking my shots one of the workers of the booth tried to shoo me inside. I wasn't exactly interested but she promised a free T-shirt and I'm a sucker for anything I don't have to pay for.
Once inside I found myself face to face with a man named Carl, who apparently drank five or six too many Redbulls. Carl threw me in front of a green screen and began excitedly shouting at me to run, jump and do other odd things in front of this screen. Normally I would not participate in things like this, but Carl seemed like his heart was exploding as he was commanding me and who was I to deny a dying man's wish?
So here is the result of my green screen experience.
....Yeah....
I immediately typed in my email address and was promptly ejected from the booth, a little dazed and confused. I didn't even get my free T-Shirt... A pox on you Carl...
Anyways, I didn't even really find out what the booth was about until getting my video email and exploring their website.
Turns out Flavor Monsters is a information campaign from the TRUTH organization against youth smoking. I guess the whole point is that even though tobacco can't be sold as candy, there are still candy-like flavored tobaccos that appeal to young people. The are 42 distinct flavors, hence the 42 monsters.
It is an interesting campaign, and they even have a free game for iOS or Android to fight the monsters and learn more about TRUTH's mission.
But really, this post was to show you I'm willing to embarrass myself for you people. I hope you're happy.
That's it for today nerds. Go try out the Flavor Monsters game. Maybe it will help when the zombie apocalypse comes.
