He is wearing a dark suit, a shirt, nice shoes and a hat. He is also \u2013 we are being frank here \u2013 humping his university.<\/p>\n
This is the simple, but effective, plot of a video that has already had 35,000 views on YouTube. According to its creators, it has also been uploaded unto several other sites and received in excess of 150,000 clicks.<\/p>\n
The aim of the viral marketing campaign is for the video to appeal to people who will themselves pass it on to everyone they think would enjoy it too. Thus it spreads through social networks and raises awareness of Aalborg University (AAU).<\/p>\n
But despite the video\u2019s success, AAU will have none of it. They have disqualified the film on the grounds of its sexual content, something that disappoints, but does not surprise the filmmakers.<\/p>\n
\u00bbWe don\u2019t quite understand the grounds for the refusal. It seems hypocritical and absurd in the light of Aalborg University being the creators of a recent April Fools Day joke, that got on radio and TV, where they in a photo-shopped aerial photograph, had decorated the Eastern harbour of Aalborg with a pair of breasts.\u00ab says Dennis Guldbransen.<\/p>\n
The editorial-approved picture of the Aalborg breasts can be seen here (http:\/\/www.aauk.dk\/nyheder\/4170536).<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe only thing sexual is a hip-movement, which the absurd choice of music makes comical and awkward.\u00ab says Dennis Guldbrandsen, who continues with the viral work as a student of Interactive Digital Media.<\/p>\n
To a certain extent, disqualifying Jepsen and Guldbransen is meaningless. The film is out there and has already shrouded the 2009-edition of AAU\u2019s viral video-competition in infamy.<\/p>\n
Thousands have seen Gulbrandsen and Jepsen\u2019s film. If added together, only hundreds have seen the other films that entered the competition.<\/p>\n
Liking or disliking the film is of course a matter of taste, and to what extent you have any. The University Post has seen the film eight times and has concluded that it is, basically, good-natured. We have found ourselves rooting for the hero in his endeavour to thrust away at the corridors, benches and staircases of his University.<\/p>\n
