Review: "Flea Market Montgomery"
Youtube consistently puts out some really funny videos. One video that has recently been brought to the public's attention is "Flea Market Montgomery," an advertisement-turned-internet phenomenon. With over a million views, "Flea Market Montgomery" is becoming wildly popular. The whole premise of the video is just a larger African-American man, rapping about his flea market in Montgomery, Alabama. He repeatedly notes that the flea market is akin to a small shopping area ("It's just like...it's just like...a mini-mall!") The strange thing is, from the looks of the place, it is not "just like a mini-mall." No, it looks more like a discount furniture store. Even if the place does have mall-like qualities, all he mentions is "living rooms, bedrooms, and dinettes." To me, a mall would have much more than those three items.
"Flea Market Montgomery" is a hysterical advertisement, but it is NOT "just like a mini-mall."

Nice blog, just started myself. I have worked in major ad agencies for some years and i find this kind of utube marketing fantastic, it shakes the whole industy up. And. It entertains people too, both the advertiser and the potential buyer. Not to mention bloggers from the void like us.
