Science World lured unsuspecting Vancouver shoppers into what looked like a free photo booth to promote its recent exhibit: “Scream! The Science of Fear.”

Once people sat down to wait for their picture, they were startled with the image of a frightened woman on the photo booth screen. As they exited the booth they received their photos with a fact printed on the sheet: “A photo of a scared person is enough to spread fear. We can explain.” They were also given free passes to the exhibit. Thankfully, no heart attacks were reported.

It's much more cheaper than a TV commercial.

I agree. This is a cool idea... but the effort doesn't equal the return.

Maybe they are targeting ad people, knowing that this vid would get on sites like this one?
