Title: One Great Promotional Ad For A New Show...(It Involves Guns)....

Thought this was great...And what better place to kick it off than a quiet little town square in Belgium...

TNT, a cable television channel whose slogan is “We Know Drama,” added a little — actually a lot — of drama to an unassuming town square in Belgium as part of an advertisement. It’s an understatement to say spectators were surprised.

It all started with this: a big red button in the middle of the square with the instruction “push to add drama.”

My guess is that everyone in and around the scene was an actor.

No way they would send that many vehicles into a public square with the possibility of bystanders wandering into traffic.

While they might not expect any armed spectators in Belgium, I didn't see anyone diving for cover when the lead started flying...

The final banner was in English...it doesn't seem to be aimed at a Belgium audience.

Still a great commercial
