Failcom!

You all know it, and so many love it.

Yet, it truly is the greatest viral ad campaign in history.

Lets think about this. If we do a search on Google, we can find 28k pages with the word Failcom on it. A large group of forum posters have taken it upon themselves to display the Failcom logo for their image. Every post by that user, is a post with the word Failcom in it.

People have even decided to create videos in tribute to the word Failcom. They have either done slideshows or mock up's with famous internet groupies (Chris Crocker)

Like this Video or This.

So, now, as I have seen on these forums, people start to wonder...why call them Failcom? Maybe I need to try this product and find out what is going on. In so many words, it is having the opposite effect?

Funcom tricked people before with the "Miracle Patch" at launch, that they then proceeded to trash, and by all indications, discussion has come up of another one in the works...

Is this all part of the plan?
