Mazda blows it big-time with a fake blog HolloweenM3 that includes not one but three Mazda commercials disguised as videos found by a blogger on public access TV. The lastest video, titled Phantasmagoria, shows a bunch of 20-somethings riding around listening to heavy metal music in a Mazda with some ghouls.
It would be funny if it was run as a TV ad. It’s just stupid in a fake blog.
And you can bet it cost Mazda a gazillion dollars.
