The 1987 Max Headroom Pirating Incident For the full story, a transcript and other associated files, go to: labyrinth13.com/OtherWorks_MaxHeadroom.htm The "Max Headroom pirating incident" is the fascinating story of the successful hijacking of two television signals in the Chicago, Illinois area on Sunday, November 22, 1987. This feat was accomplished by a mysterious person wearing a Max Headroom mask who somehow over-rode the station signals and then proceeded to perform an illegal broadcast on live television. The incident began when television broadcasts at two different stations (WTTW and WGN) were interrupted by the hijacker on the same day, only hours apart. The first incident occurred during the sports segment of the WGN 9:00 p.m. news broadcast; the second incident took place around 11:15 p.m. during a late evening showing by WTTW of an episode of the Doctor Who television show. The hijacker’s motives for the act of piracy remain unclear, but it is possible that he may have held some sort of private grudge against the two Chicago stations that were affected by his broadcasts: he made a direct reference to WGN sportscaster Chuck Swirsky, as well as to hijacked station WGN (known as the “World’s Greatest Newspaper") by referring to the latter as the “greatest world's newspaper nerds.”Later commentary on this event would refer to the hijacker as "a sophisticated video pirate with an unsophisticated sense of humor who managed to override the signals of Chicago's [television] broadcast." And criticism was even leveled at the pirate for not using his "air time" to say something more profound! The independent genius responsible for hijacking the signal has never been caught or identified. May he live long and prosper! Labels: Advertising Advertising / District 9 Viral Begins to Spread ![]() Earlier today I noticed a post on ComingSoon mentioning that an ad for the District 9 viral had started appearing on bus stop benches, but I didn't think much about. Wen I was out driving today, I passed a few of them, so I decided to stop by one and take a few shots of it (while getting some odd looks). The ad, as you can see below, plays on the non-human segregation idea again, stating that the bus stop is for humans only. And there's the quirky line beneath it that says: "Beware non-human secretions may corrode metal!" The phone number actually connects with the corporation Multi-National United and it links to D-9.com.
The unfortunate thing is that, despite all of this new advertising, the viral hasn't changed. All of the ads point to the D-9.com website, but that website hasn't changed since it launched last year. The only difference is that the teaser trailer pops up first before users can continue on into the site. I would hope that they would've added something new since it launched last year or would've moved the whole viral into its "next phase," since the movie is due out in less than three months, but nothing has happened. As far as I know, there aren't any major updates yet. Maybe we'll see something soon, hopefully? We'll let you know! via firstshowing.net Labels: Advertising Want / iPhone Prices I got this from Singtel and thought those who are getting the iPhone 3G S might be interested.
