On the topic; it is surely obvious to anyone in marketing/PR these days that doing something like this is almost always going to be a profitable move. The guy provided the story, even if they had to do something like this 10 times for it to 'go viral' it would be one hell of a lot of promotion for the money. It's not going to harm the recipient's Lego buying habits either.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoBah humbug, don't be snobby about these things, it's not as if HN is overrun with them. Just enjoy it as a break from the norm.
