I hate viral marketing

So these random faceless people have been turning up in photos around England lately, and thus making it onto Fark.

To which I say, it would be damn awesome if this was how someone's responding the surveillance cameras everywhere. About time that there was some sort of outrage at the crazy erosion of privacy and liberties over there. They keep going on about how cameras have lowered crime, when it's only been shown to push crime out of sight. But that only means you need more of them, right? Also crazy: they don't have the right to use force to defend their property. That's what the police are for. As a result, half of all British burglaries now take place while the victim is at home.

But, of course, turns out it's a creepy viral marketing campaign instead. For Lotus. How weird is that?
