Just because you don’t lie about stealing something doesn’t mean you didn’t steal something. They never made any contact with IE about using their idea.

Did Budweiser claim this was an original idea?

I didn’t say flash mobs were a new idea. A “flash mob” built around a sporting event with secret camera, surprise announcers and fans for an event that usually doesn’t draw fans is the thing that is not a new idea and is the thing Bud blatantly ripped off.

IE has nothing to do with anything I have done. I did a phone interview with Charlie Todd once about seven years ago. I haven’t communicated with him since. IE doesn’t really need to build their awareness from what I can tell – they have 222 million video views on Youtube and almost a million subscribers.

I also never said the video wasn’t heartwarming. It is. They did a wonderful job on it. They also stole the idea and used it to sell beer. You all who were there were just tools in their plan. Which makes it sad since the original was about spreading excitement, not selling beer and paying extras.

There are thousands of things on the web. I think it’s pretty clear that improv everywhere is hoping to score their own awareness by saying it was a rip off.

The fact is Bud told an amazing story through this. Something that touches the heart of everyone that watches it.

I was apart of it. I was there in the crowd. It was an amazing experience. It touched everyone and nobody ever said it was ripped off.

Best,
Brain Martin

Next thing you’ll tell me is that horses don’t play football.
Would it be rude of me to comment “Nice S” on the bud ad?
