Viral Video: Scamwow!
Over the years I assisted GreenpeaceUSA in creating several spoof/comedy for campaigns which called out certain corporations or political figures. The videos were meant to poke fun and attempted to get the target to change their behavior. The videos were light-hearted, funny, and effective. Here are a few of them. This first one was in response to the BP oil spill and received over 150,000 views organically.
