What happened was all depressing to say the least

What you see above is the picture of a 140-foot tall steel unisphere that apparently was ‘Stolen by unknown personnel’ last November 14.

It was a quiet Sunday morning, and I was randomly scrolling through Facebook when it was announced by a local news website in the Philippines how that said structure vanished into thin air. This picture below was exactly as they posted:

Okay Ryan, so where does Netflix comes in? Let me explain.

After finding out this announcement, I quickly go out of my way and googled to find out how on earth did that happen? It’s not like this steel concrete holds any precious materials like titanium. Why would any reasonable person steal it?

I then scouted for more information since I’m just left out in the dark as you are. You can skip to this short 2-minute video below if you want to leap ahead how I gathered evidence.

I Tried Researching This Conspiracy:

Evidence #1: Here’s the blurry video caught on a dashcam while a person was driving his motor early morning.

I was hesitant to place this at first since I just don’t trust the authenticity of the video due to being it on low quality. But dashcams are known for their quick non-heavy consuming memory output.

Evidence #2: Here are some of the videos that we’re found out where a girl was dancing a tiktok song until a certain helicopter appeared in the background & she closed the app before we find out what it could be.

This was a public video on Facebook (nothing posted on YouTube, I tried finding one)

Here’s a 2 Minute-Summary of What Happened:

Enter Scene, Netflix

After throwing the social media community in quite disarray, the truth finally comes out.

The whole gizmo was a PR Stunt by Netflix, the mall, and a local news website in the Philippines for the movie Red Notice.

How People Reacted To It:

The culture of jokes and memes are the main reaction of the masses, some explaining how it is not even logical for the mass that steel to be lifted by just a single helicopter.

Getting Beef from Other Journalist,

The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines called out the association in an assertion and said media organizations ought not obscure the line among news and promotions.

I mean the social media post really resembled the style of news so people considered for it to be almost real.

In a climate loaded up with disinformation and falsehood, our inability to plainly build up that a revealed burglary is a trick puts the validity of our newsrooms and of the calling overall in danger, the NUJP said.

In the hurry to report, different newsrooms not advised on the promoting contrivance might neglect to check the thing and coincidentally pass on bogus data as reality.

Where The MOA Globe is Now:

So, is Netflix’s PR campaign successful or not?

If your asking me, the results pretty much speaks for themselves. The movie was #1 on trending in the Philippines for a week.

But if your asking me, I would’ve watch the me regardless of the stunt since when have you ever seen the cast of Deadpool, Wonderwoman and Jumanji all in one movie?

You're Awesome, do you love this?
