Some people are suggesting that it is viral marketing campaign for Levis. I think the label would be clearer if that were the case, but... How is it possible that I haven't heard about it? So true.

None of those things preclude it being faked. The very fact that it is in <em>none </em>of the papers or television lead me to believe that it is fake. One suggestion is that it is a viral ad for Levi. Heh. None of those things preclude it being faked.

It is obviously not computer animated...it leans on buildings, cars back away from it, it seems to be wearing jeans... HOW can this not be in the papers!!! Who has all those helicopters? Who has that much denim? Guerilla uber puppets taking over the city? Isn't this cause for alarm? You MUST find out more!! FAKED? how do you fake such a thing?

Did this happen while you were there? And who?? Is your marionette friend that did the film somehow involved? this must have been a huge undertaking (no pun intended) with funding and permits and such, yet all the footage seems to be of people being surprised by it. So different from the U.S., where something like this would have a huge buildup and crowds and be in vegas, with a buffet and an interactive video game.... How indeed, and when??
