There's A Real Company Called "The Visioneers"

thumbnail icon: There's A Real Company Called "The Visioneers"

Everybody freaked out last week about the trailer for Zach Galifianakis and Judy Greer's weird new movie, Visioneers, about a guy who works as a "Visioneer" for an evil company, and a lot of, um, other things, I think. Especially freaking out, if they found out about it, was probably the company that came up first on a Google search for "Visioneers" until last week: the vague people at a motivational company called Visioneers.

Visioneering accelerates positive change. The Visioneering technology promotes a higher game of creativity and transformation. It helps remove the constraints of the past, facilitates accessing insights and wisdom in building powerfully shared visions. Thus creating foundations for new paradigms to thrive, aligning the present with powerful futures, creating energy and committed action toward ideal destinations, generating access to places beyond reach, enabling the art of seeing things possible, and inspiring commitment towards sustaining powerful futures now!

Yes, it sounds like viral marketing like Dunder Mifflin Infinity, but after reading the entire site, it's just not quite ridiculous enough to be fake. Though I did have suspicions when I saw their navigational clip art dog:

This company is NOT the company in Visioneers. The company in Visioneers is a real company called Jeffers Corp. I used to work at Jeffers Corp and from what I hear from my TUNT friends who are still there Mr. Jeffers and the rest of those Jeffers Corp a-holes are really upset their company is in this movie. As far as I'm concerned, I am thrilled somebody is finally telling the truth about that place.

I hear that, Ann! What sector were you in? I was sector eight for seven years, before one morning I woke up and said, you know what, I am not going in and listening to that horn again.

I was sector three, level three. If you were sector eight, you must have been near Johnny. Were you there when he had his heart attack? I still can't believe they made us take his TUNT memorial down.

I was there, and the whole memorial thing was probably what pushed me over the edge. I can definitely relate to the actor in the trailer smashing the hell out of everything.
