Crazy Viral Marketing Campaign or Real-life Terror?

B-D reader 'Chet' just sent us in a really, really bizarre e-mail that figured I should probably throw by you. This reminds me of the whole Dr. Sadowsky ordeal, only it's pretty violent and gruesome. Basically Chet was following one of his favorite online vlogs - some hot chick on Break.com - and some crazy stuff happened over the past week. Read on for his e-mail and let me know if you guys have any idea what the hell this is (watch the video labeled 'Caroline', holy smokes).

"Have you seen this?

Go to http://www.holytaco.com/2008/06/05/link-time-45/ and at the bottom of the list of links, you will see the statement “Sad news, just got word that Brooke Marks, the taco belle this week passed away yesterday.”

Then go check out who this Brooke Marks girl is:
http://www.holytaco.com/2008/06/04/brooke-marks/

And if you click on the link “video blog on Break.com” you will get to her video entitled “Brooke Marks Speaks Out!” A reply to the top comment “I think im in love” is from a user named “IntellTinkerer” who says “STAY AWAY: or this will happen to u IP ADDRESS 72.167.205.77”.

Go to that IP ADDRESS.

Holy f*ck it’s weird.

It’s just a root directory with 4 separate clips posted in .mov, .mpg. and .wmv formats. The very top clip is Brooke_Marks.mov which was uploaded on 6/4/08, the day Holy Taco claims Brooke died.

Watch this clip. It looks like Brooke is talking to a webcam and is interrupted by a guy who grabs her and stabs her repeatedly.

Then watch the others—Carolina.mov, Tony.mov, and Brandon.mov. Bizarre f*cked-up shit. I’m sure it’s all fake, but it’s disturbing nonetheless.

I checked out Brooke Marks’ other videos and there are some stripteases (this girl is crazy hot) along with some vlogs where she uses a hidden camera to “take us into her life”. And if you watch closely, you realize that even though she blurs her friend’s faces you can recognize Brandon and Tony (2 guys she dated) and Carolina (a girl that calls her a slut). Then I checked out the comments on these vlogs. “IntellTinkerer” is all over the place, directing people to IP ADDRESS 72.167.205.77, and hinting that he has actually killed off these people! WTF?

Anyone got any theories on this? You think Brooke’s actually dead? She must be if Holy Taco is going on record that she “passed away”. Surely she couldn’t have been murdered on camera for real. And when you see the others, you won’t believe they’re real either.

But then I found a video on Break called “Ok, now I’m freaked out” which looks like Brooke is secretly filming her encounter with a cop Dateline NBC-style and she’s telling him about the videos and reporting her friends as missing. The cop seems like a real guy and he says what I was thinking, that all these videos look staged.

So now I’m really fucking confused.

Is it just that I’m a BD extreme-horror junkie that all this seems like some elaborate hoax or some shit? I’m asking myself if these were really snuff videos, could I tell the difference? A serial killer these days could definitely get away with doing this for real, because we think everything like this we see on the internet is fake.

So again, WTF?

Wow, that's some fucked up shit. The IP is from Scottsdale, AZ.. if that means anything to anyone.

I don't know much about root folders, but I don't think they're typically displayed as background images with links mapped over top... Fake to the core.

The end of "Tony" was my favorite

That's really messed up if it's true. Wow.

that's a hell of a bong hit! it's very fake, but well done. The only one that really made me say that it's fake is the newest one. i just think she'd be freaking out a little more.

I was just going to say what Baron Von Kickass said. Very fake.

Also worth noting. The directory at that IP address isn't actually a directory. It's an image with an image map defining the positions of the links. The server probably isn't set up to allow to directory browsing so they have to fake it. This is obviously a trailhead for some Alternate Reality Game.

Anyone who would even consider that to be real is a complete moron. Yes, someone actually rigged up a chick's bong to explode...

"Anyone who would even consider that to be real is a complete moron. Yes, someone actually rigged up a chick's bong to explode... " Like the people on Break.com? lol They're taking it way serious in the comments.

i agree this shit is faked viral campaigns are all over to hype movies. i agree with graham_k as that film is due out so why not start something up.

how do you type in IP addresses?

well i dont know when this supposedly occured but her myspace says that she hasnt logged on since the fourth of june... i dont know... im more than skeptical about this but it could always end up being true... who knows... very creepy either way..

This would actually make for quite a good horror movie. Bloggers reveal there life to much according to a anti-internet weirdo, or they are in some way related to an event, and the guy kills them off one by one when there webcams are turned on. And as bloodydisgusting said, the videos look fake...so he could get away with it...

What if it is actually all real though. Like we think of it as being fake becus it's just the internet. But what if the people were killed. I didn't check it out yet. The last time i did was wit that doc dude and it fuckin sucked LOL...


flesheater123
7:11pm, June 9, 2008

7:22pm, June 9, 2008

8:11pm, June 9, 2008

This is the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my life. At no point did I wonder, Gee, is this real? Like the explosion going off about 3 feet in front of her.


icehockeyjoel
8:14pm, June 9, 2008

OMG, I'm gonna get killed... I better make a video blog before I call the cops.


flesheater123
8:53pm, June 9, 2008

lol.... I wonder what movie this will be for.

8:58pm, June 9, 2008

seriously? I don't think snuff films would be this funny. Gotta jump on my computer cuz I think someone's in the house! Why would her video blog have the same fake, crummy scan lines as the "surveillance" video. Clue up to Hollywood...those cameras don't produce images like that or else no one would ever get caught. Sorry for not just playing along with another "clever" movie marketing gimmick. I mean, really, you go through all this trouble with setting up the comments, the Break.com page, hiring some internet chick as your star or whatever and then you make something like "brooke_Marks.mov"???!!! I've seen porn films with better acting. ...and if this does end up being a promotional tool for 'The Poughkeepsie Tapes', don't let curiosity get the best of you. Saw that movie last year and it is CRAP. xxx
