| [TWC] RoadRunner selling cars now?
I just caught a TV ad on E! for BeepBeep.com. It caught my eye because it had the WB RoadRunner character plastered all over it.
Looking up the website, it seems TWC is selling cars now...
»beepbeep.com/
I would've swore it was a scam website... but the local ad makes it seem legit...
Anyone else see this? -- Don't mind me, I'm just trying to help...

| Wow, that junk is spreading?
They have been running beepbeep.com ads locally for about 2 years now. It started to appear with some random guy playing a single drum for a site called rockintvdeals.com. Looks like it went defunct in 06. It was by far the worst commercial i had ever seen, and beepbeep.com was not much better. I kinda had assumed they were just some marketing intern project sites, but i guess i was wrong :/
What makes beepbeep.com even funnier to me is that EVERYTHING you see in that commercial short of the beepbeep.com site is stock from the TWC media materials archive. So its not even that innovative, its just the stock footage they use in every other TWC commercial mashed together. |

I have seen these ads for this on TV since 12/06. When TW took over Adelphia here. Why is this a big deal now???? -- Do or do not... there is no try. (Yoda) |
