<p>Starting out as a graphic designer and working my way to creative director to Security Options in Oklahoma,<br />
I have stumbled across my fair share of videos that bring me to aca (audible chuckle achieved &#8211; it&#8217;s a manlier way of saying lol) Some of them are intentionally funny and some aren&#8217;t.<br />
But either way, here is my list of ridiculous security videos.</p>
<h2>First: Who Wants Pizza?</h2>
<p>Home Invasion! (7.7/10)<br />
This one would make a good unaired Dominoes commercial, you know, one of those ones they post as a leaked commercial but they meant for it to get leaked the whole time.<br />
Kind of like but completely different than those Paris Hilton tapes. More like the banned skittles commercial. (8/10) It&#8217;s like we all know you made the video to post online.<br />
You leaked it yourself under the title leaked video. Then like 5 million more people watched it than would have originally. So&#8230; actually that&#8217;s a pretty good move.<br />
Seeing as how I don&#8217;t watch TV any ways and only aimlessly watch netflix instant and youtube video, touche &#8230; whoever did that. Touche.<br />
Now let&#8217;s take a look at the opposite of a good marketing move.</p>
<h2>Brinks Security Fail</h2>
<p>When Brinks turned into Broadview they released a fairly embarrassing line of commercials that enticed a lot of criticism.<br />
In this world, in an obvious attempt to stay faaaaaaaaar away from even the vague smell of race related questions, they only exhibit white people robbing white people.<br />
<strong>Here is one of the actual commercials.</strong><br />
Broadview Commercial &#8220;The House Party&#8221;<br />
<strong><br />
Now, here is a commercial making fun of that.</strong><br />
<strong>Un-aired Racist Brinks Commercial</strong><br />
A well spoken black man comes to the door trying to return a white womans wallet. She screams back, &#8220;I don&#8217;t speak ebonics!&#8221;<br />
She then proceeds to calll the authorities, claims he looks like O.J. She sits terrified cluthing the phone until we hear the authories gun him down in a bloody, what we can only presume, hail of gunfire.<br />
She moves to her couch as ominous dark tones audibly creep into the scene or presumed terror.<br />
Then she turns the TV on and smiles as the friends theme song comes on. So, well done. (7.5/10)<br />
<strong>They were also bad enough to make SNL. So here is that.</strong><br />
Watch on Hulu<br />
<em>&#8220;Are you a single woman who lives alone in a large 5 person house, then you need Broadview Security. </em><br />
<em>Studies show that if you are a lady most men want to kill you.&#8221; &#8220;Like most women she&#8217;s under the threat of constant hom invasion from everyone she meets.&#8221;</em><br />
<em> &#8220;Thanks again grandpa, I love these Sundays together&#8221; Grandpa proceeds to break door down and get scared away. (6.7/10)</em></p>
<h2>So Bad It&#8217;s Good</h2>
<p>Security Officer Jay (9/10 for internet authenticity. Good viral videos are not meant to be viral vidoes&#8230; write that down.)<br />
Then there is this video by Security Officer Jay which I thought was fake, but no&#8230; there is actually a website where you can buy the CD.</p>
<h2>Cold Hard Justice.. Kind Of</h2>
<p>Stupid Criminals Caught on Tape (7.5/10 for reality)<br />
If you made it to the end, then here is a compilation of the world&#8217;s dumbest criminals caught on tape.<br />
Now, it might be a little disheartening to see how many of them have allegedly not been caught but that&#8217;s another story.<br />
So, I&#8217;ll leave you with this illustration that I&#8217;m reminded of from my Gary Larson calendar when I was a kid.<br />
