CCTV Cameras…Sometimes They Catch AWESOME Things – A Mini Tuesday Timewaster

✴︎

Some of you will watch this video and say ‘awwwwwww’. Some of you will watch this video and think ‘I hate Coca-Cola and I’m not buying into their advertising campaign. And some of you will frikkin’ LOVE the dude who pushed the van outta the way of the train!!

UPDATE: Before we get emails from people claiming ‘It’s not real’: From a Coco-Cola Spokesperson: ‘There are a few clips that, while the situation is real, we had to recreate for the ad because it was impossible to find and secure permissions from all the people recorded on the cameras.’

You may now resume believing there’s good in the world.

Happy Tuesday!

I admit, i loved the choice of music, and the way it was put together. Yeah, I can see its like trying to restore faith in people, when normally we see bad things happening on cameras, rarely good. Very clever advertising.

  Me too! I loved it. I felt almost teary and then remembered it was a Coca-Cola ad but still, I cried at a puppy in an ad for toilet roll once so I guess it’s not THAT bad! 🙂

    Aw, yay!! I just uploaded another version of it as Coca-Cola had the one linked to taken down. So this new one should work. 🙂

    I know. Who was it harming? And surely it was better for their company that more people saw the ad. It had like 6 million + hits!

    Goes to show, that they are really all about control. But I still love the concept. ❤
