    A tent managed by a beverage company handed out room-temperature bottles of an energy drink, Phorm. The flavor, called Screamin’ Freedom, tasted like hard candies dissolved in water, and an advisory on the cans warned that they were not to be consumed by minors or pregnant women.

    If we saw this in a movie, we would laugh at how overly top unreal it was.

      This is ridiculous. Room-temperature energy drinks are supposed to taste like cough syrup.

      Someone saw office uprising and thought yes I have that energy.

      Did you do the campaign that sold 30,000 automatic shotguns to Blackwater? No, we did. How about the nukey the talking warhead campaign? Nope, we did that too. How about that Iraq port game now for children? Oh nope, that was us too. How about my personal favorite: The Agent Orange Soda Campaign? DING, DING, THAT WAS US TOO! ADVER-F–KING-TISING! See, we make reality out of…nothing.
