Man Survives Shipping Himself In A Box Across Country Preview

[Jim Gravina 0]

Hey guys...I know this is a weird post but...

 

This is has been a project I have been involved in since the summer and I haven't been able to say anything until now. I am part of the a website that just launched and to promote it we shipped a guy from NY to Las Vegas in a crate and capture the entire trip with 5 hidden cameras. Check out the preview on YouTube. Then, to see the trip in 6 mini episodes, go to www.ventma.com to check them out. We already have local news coverage and things are starting to go well. Please take a moment and check it out!

What a lame hoax. I suppose it's better than actually being dumb enough to do it though.

Actually, Inside Edition bumped us because of the Bernie Madoff trial. I will let you guys know when it airs. May be a lame hoax but its all working as planned.

So you admit that it's just a lie, even though you said "we shipped a guy from NY to Las Vegas in a crate and capture the entire trip with 5 hidden cameras" a few posts earlier?

I admit that it was a publicity stunt that is working exactly as planned. If you go to Ventma.com you will understand. We are offering $500 to the person that can tell us how we pulled it off, then we will provide a video with the proof. Contest Details

I clicked the link.. I dont know why. Are you guys trying to be another novelty/humor site or something?

Not really...this is what it is...

 

It's a new social networking site kinda like Myspace and Facebook, but the opposite. We are NOT trying to compete with them, that's not why we are doing this. Its just something that's a little new and unique. Our slogan is: Friendly...Myspace Frustrated...Ventma.

 

Its basically a centralized place for people to vent their frustrations in a safe, non-violent manner. At the same time having fun getting even while letting it all out. So lets say your angry with your boss...instead of lashing out at him at the office, you can hop on ventma.com and post your "vent" about your boss. Others can comment, vote, and give advice on what you posted. Instead of posting your "favorite this, favorite that," like Myspace, you post and talk about what you DON'T like...or what bothers you. Myspace and facebook you could waste hours on looking through pictures...seeing what people are doing...etc. Ventma.com is designed to just kinda log in...say what you need to get off your chest, and get off.

 

There's a lot more to do than just posting "vents," but that's the basic idea of the site.
