the cadbury suicides

(2/15/2009 Update: I had to replace the first video in this posting, because the original was moved and created a dead link on this side. This new video is an up-close slow motion version of “Mouse Trap” – to see the whole thing, and a whole bunch more gooey awesomeness, run over to YouTube.

Thanks to Alex for Twittering this - I saw it on his feed this morning and promptly adopted it for a post here.

It’s a fantastic little campaign! It’s got a great viral trend to it - watching the videos is totally addictive and there are TONS of opportunities for off-shoots of the campaign, people taking the idea on themselves to innovate and create their own versions. My favorite example of that being this (seriously… this is awesome…):

Totally cremed…
