This looks fake to me. But for the real stuff… Any one else think it’s time we put this crime genie back in the bottle? We have neglected this work for too long.

Balls? Any fool can steal. Takes balls to make an invention, develop real skills and meet the conditions of the love even bad boys can’t deny we all long for. Like on eBay, only 15% of people are scammers. We all pay for them. Time we cut them loose from the pack and “encourage” them to stop wasting our time.

It was an E! network publicity stunt – revealed earlier this week. And a great one at that!

Bullshit !! what happened to the tracking system in the car. These guys think everyone is fuckin stupid that they’ll believe this. If it really was stolen the cops would have been after the guy as soon as the chick screamed. I aint buyin it .. :S

Yeah Rodney, I’m afraid it’s impossible to believe.

For one thing, the press release pretty much tells us what happened.

But if that’s not enough, we can use a bit of logic to understand that these promotions require the permission, and actually the sponsorship, of the tv show/movie/whatever. So if the robbery was real, Knight Rider wouldn’t allow E! to do the promotion, nor would they sponsor it.

Nor would E! go ahead and set up a promotion without Knight Rider’s blessing, one that explicitly makes fun of the carjacking, because E! relies on the cooperation of various studios, tv networks, etc.

So if you want to believe E! is willing to piss off the entities that provide E! with its access and content, then I would like to restate…”wow”

Easy fellas, easy now……

Regardless, the story, stunt and theft actually *was* totally setup and executed as a smart marketing move. After all, look at all the chatter going you’re all making. It’s obviously working.

http://autos.canada.com/news/story.html?id=82defb1c-c309-4694-ad4d-dacd325bc2f9 says:
“Wednesday, the network producing the show revealed the car had been “KITTnapped” as part of a “unique viewer engagement promotion” in which one fan will win a new Ford Mustang.”

It did look a little bit setup I will admit..
