Science World: Photo Booth of Doom
High Bandwidth | Low Bandwidth | Mobile
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.

yeah, but how much do they spend? - money, time...
think it's unjustified ((
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?
