Reporter Request

Here's an interesting comment that was just added to my entry posted back in June about Eric Bruderton (that guerrilla marketing campaign involving mysterious video footage of a group of armed men being attacked by unseen assailants in a country like Afghanistan):

I'm a reporter for the business radio show Marketplace, heard around the
country on NPR. I'm working on a story about the advertizing campaign for
The September Tapes. If you have strong opinions about the ad campaign, I'd
like to chat. And perhaps do a short telephone interview. I can be reached
at [see the comment for the email].
Thanks
Jeff Tyler

Being the suspicious sort that I am, I immediately checked out the IP address on the comment, and it did indeed come from someone at Minnesota Public Radio, so it appears to be legitimate. So if you have strong opinions about The September Tapes, by all means send Jeff an email.

The video is a fake (IMO) because those sound like blanks being fired. Blanks make a hollow popping noise as apposed to a sharp 'crack' that a live round makes when it breaks the sound barrier.

My comments were about a diff video that is now linked off that site, not the one that was initially posted; my bad.

You'd think that if the fellow were actually a reporter he'd be able to spell 'advertizing' correctly! An IP address is extremely easy to spoof.
