The Bike Guitar Hero Kid Is So Going To Be On A Late Night Talk Show
A kid who created a Guitar Hero simulation on real life streets and then rode the game on his bike, or VIRAL MARKETING? Either way, it's everywhere, on every blog, website, email inbox, and IM window today:
The first tip we got about it was from a promotional company, so viral marketing is highly suspected, but over a quarter million views in less than 24 hours? Those are FRED numbers. And much less annoying, even if it is a commercial. I can't wait to see this dude, "Lars," and "the rest of the Brierwood Vandals" on Conan or something. (Via the whole entire internet, and non-promotional tipster Gideon.)

It seems pretty fakity fake fake. Theres even some moments where the colored dots don't even look like they are really there.
Score = -1
Totally viral. I auditioned for this out here in LA. It was a very awkward audition, having to pretend to ride a bike while sitting on a stool with a guy yelling 'YOURE GOING REALLY FAST!" and "YOUR FRIENDS ARE NOW CHEERING YOU ON!!".
Score = 0
whether or not this was deliberately created to be a viral video, it still rocks... i could not tell at any point that it was fake
Score = 0
