A little over a year ago, lurkers on YouTube witnessed a blossoming of “domino rally” style videos featuring long rows of iPods, or hard drives, or whatever excess inventory could be found lying around the local geek shop.
A year later, and I’m seeing the same shtick employed in high-profile ad campaigns for gadgets and tech toys. Commericals for Sirius Satellite Radio, the LG Voyager from Verizon, and an advertisement for AT&T featuring domino-ing flat screens all seem to crib heavily from those earlier web videos.
Satellite Radio did not gain so much popularity as expected, maybe because of the reason that it is expensive.:`;
