I like it. They got my attention. And they’re lucky that I’m a cider guy! Gave me a bunch of delicious apples too

Last point – look at the key phrases:

Imagine a world without…

Your kind needs you…

/nogigs
/noculture
/nofashion
/noart
/noblogs
/nocreativity

sounds like the end of civilisation as we know it.

Could be a movie, could be a climate change campaign, probably not a band.

Whatever it is this is an Australia specific campaign so might want to think about who the key players are in online, digital and viral marketing in Aus?

Ha! Dave Carter P.I.
Nice work there. Yeah, I’m beginning to think this isn’t a band or even specific to music given the varied media that’ve been contacted.

Hey Jerry,

so – the domain is registered to a Suzette Muir nee Mackenzie who, after a couple of minutes of Google stalking, was probably a campaign / account manager with Wow Rapp Collins – a New Zealand marketing firm and now may be working for cleanerclimate.com.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the copenhagen summit?

The domain was registered through a sole-trader ABN, set up quite recently (July 09) – probably for the purpose of running this campaign. ABN is registered to Neutral Bay.

Fairly wide ranging campaign taking in a number of music blogs – possibly others… also not just restricted to bloggers – they’re trying to get twitter trends as well… http://birdsvshumans.com.au/A8CB0E8/

I’m sure someone can figure the rest out from there.

Very clever. I’d be more intrigued if there were some human body parts enclosed next time around.

I did a bit of fooling around with the url.

birdsvshumans.com.au/noculture is Kluster.
birdsvshumands.com.au/nofashion is Yen Magazine
birdsvshumans.com.au/noart is Monster Children
birdsvshumans.com.au/nocreativity is The Cool Hunter
birdsvshumans.com.au/noblogs is MuMbrella

Anyone else got ideas for URL sneakiness?

This is cool. I’m interested.

This is insane, but great! Talk about effort.

Also, I love how willing Jerry was to give up his postal address to a freak email suggesting humans needed him to conquer birds…
