Was just about to post about this.
These mock-recruitment ads (all two of them) have been the best part of the movie marketing by FAR. If Paramount had been on the ball they could've gone with a full-blown viral campaign with this, but alas...we only get a half-assed one. |

Ohhhhh, man. That's friggin' great!
Like Jmacq1 said, they could have been dropping these fake ads all over the internet for MONTHS and generated some real-deal interest. But still.....very cool, and we have a whole month for these to be spread out there. Also, these ads are WAYYYYY more true-to-life than we will give them credit for.... Rule #4, ya know.

They got Keith David (voice-over in Navy commercials) to do a Cobra ad?! Well, nothing in the movie will be able to top that. Unless, of course, there's an extended version in the movie.

Okay....the more I see this - the more it makes me think it's a BRILLIANT ad campaign.
These are so much like the US Navy ads that they will resonate with people and make them think "Wait, what? That wasn't a Navy ad?!". I mean...seriously. Start running these ads around 6, 7, 8PM on the major networks for all of March! Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 03-06-2013 at 08:49 AM.. |

It seems that they are modeling the Cobra army after Academi (formally BlackWater) .
Here's a bit more about the private incorporated mercenary militia---> Academi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Last edited by otsu vihara; 03-06-2013 at 02:20 AM.. Reason: added info. |
