It’s mind boggling to think that any team of marketers ever thought an event like this would be a good idea, but in a promotional stunt by LG involving BB guns and knives on sticks, 20 people were injured in Seoul, South Korea. In hindsight, it seems obvious that the event would go awry. LG released 100 helium balloons, each with a voucher for a free LG G2 smartphone attached. The phones, which retail for the equivalent of $851 in the country, would be given to each participant able to pop a balloon. Participants arrived with BB guns and scrambled after the balloons. One participant even arrived with a pointed stick.
(Caught On Tape)**Graphic** Chinese Police Execution!!
No games played in China at all. It seems that unlike our ‘lethal injection’ method in the U.S. when it comes to the death penalty, China just uses a gun. In the footage, Chinese authorities remove a man from the back of a police van in front of a rather large crowd. Once he’s removed, they walk him past some tree –into an open lot, still visible by the crowd. In fact, during the walk and just before it came to an end for the man killed, police turned him around to acknowledge the crowd. After making the man kneel to the ground, they shoot him point blank with one shot to the head. Check out the actual video after the jump. Beware, It’s pretty graphic.
