Boing Boing have outed a viral marketeer working on behalf of an American phone manufacturer, pushing his handset on their site and many others.

It is hilarious - both this fuckwit's attempts to peddle his shite and, more so, other readers' comments - taking the piss in very clever ways.

I think sometimes virals work really well - but that guy seems so brazen and obvious! More like spam than a viral, I think.
