Surveillance Footage of Bumbling Burglar Turned Into an Ad
Earlier this month, surveillance video of a bumbling, oddly dressed burglar attempting to break in to a grocery store became a viral sensation, notching more than 6 million views on YouTube and shout outs on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Good Morning America.
Now, the store that repelled the quixotic attempt is capitalizing on the situation. Kent’s Meats and Groceries is in its own words “hoping to turn lemons into lemonade” with this ad, which used the original footage and added “Yakety Sax” from The Benny Hill Show. (Watch the original viral video below.)
What do you think? Does this leave a bad taste in your mouth or make you hungry for more? Let us know in the comments.
