I think it was carried out well and they got the point across to their staff. At the ens of it all it boils down to the fact that they are actually trying to be positive about the merger for which you need to appreciate their efforts. I say well done..in my humble opinion..

How funny is it when people think they're doing something great but not realizing how really bad their stuff is? That E&Y one is really something....thanks for finding the B and A one...funny as heck! Hi Hollyster…yep, I posted that one a couple of weeks ago….another in the series of scary corp. videos.

I definitely think there's a place for that...and video is very powerful. It's just that the use of U2's One was almost so ironic. I love video...but I'm not sure that two dudes from corporate signing some hokey lyrics are the thing...pro video like you produce, yes, clients should go for that. John, I have to say I'm still cringing while I watch this one. Thomas, I’ll definitely go along with professional production. I definitely think there’s a place for that…and video is very powerful.
