Melbourne Metro
A cartoon public safety video has taken YouTube by storm.
By Leslie Meredith, TechNewsDaily
A Melbourne Metro public safety announcement has taken the Internet by storm. "Dumb Ways to Die" snagged the top spot on Visible Measure's Viral Video Ads chart, a measurement of online video views, with 18 million views, twice the number of the second-place video, "LeBron's Day" from Samsung.
"Dumb" is an understatement. Paired with a catchy jingle, animated characters die in the video in various ways, including taking their helmets off in outer space, poking grizzly bears and getting asphyxiated in a dryer. The campaign got its own website,?Tumblr blog?with animated gifs and a YouTube channel, along with radio and TV spots ? all this to remind Melbourne drivers to stay off the Metro tracks.?
Who says safety can't be funny? Watch the video:
Other popular ad videos included Rovio's "Angry Birds Star Wars," Nintendo's "Wii U" and a second video by Samsung, "Overly Attached Computer."
Experts project that Cyber Monday sales grew 28 percent over last year with a projected $1.5 billion in receipts, many of them coming from mobile devices such as tablets and cell phones. NBC's Diana Alvear reports.
