Heh, lovely story, but isn't this type of post what Reddit is for?

Which is where i saw it on Friday, and 'shockingly' is the source (well, originally youtube).

On the topic; it is surely obvious to anyone in marketing/PR these days that doing something like this is almost always going to be a profitable move. The guy provided the story, even if they had to do something like this 10 times for it to 'go viral' it would be one hell of a lot of promotion for the money. It's not going to harm the recipient's Lego buying habits either.



Bah humbug, don't be snobby about these things, it's not as if HN is overrun with them.

Just enjoy it as a break from the norm.


Or maybe most of us who up voted knew it was PR and we want their PR to work?
