See if you can spot what's wrong with this video of a company advertising their skills in ... video production! The irony of it sort of reminds me of this photo.
Uh, the '555-NEW-ROOF' isn't their phone number. It's a number they are using as an example in their slides for a customer's business. Similairly, they show a weblink "www.ourbusiness.com". I'm pretty sure it's a 'placeholder' phone number.
Looking a the "New Roof" phone number followed by the "visit us at our mall location" and the last part about "www.ourbusiness.com" it's clear these are sample tag lines they can use in videos they produce. Sadly this is no spoof... They have a website and are responsible for some of those late night 'el cheapo car lot ads. I love the sales rep's video!
Ha! I've done some video editing, and I've made this same careless mistake myself. Without that 555 number at the end, I would have thought this was real.
It's not gut-busting hilarious, but anyone in video production will get a good laugh out of it. I did.
My old high school did this in backward; it "encouraged" failing students to leave in order to keep up the stats around graduation rates college bound alumni.
If you take good students from a "good" school and put them in a "bad" school but they do just as good and raise the schools grade then doesn't that prove that the students are the reason the school gets bad grades and not necessarily the school or teachers?
