See if you can spot what's wrong with this video of a company advertising their skills in ... video production! The irony of it sort of reminds me of this photo.
Yeah, the 555 area code tips it off as a spoof. Wikipedia says: "Area code 555 in the North American Numbering Plan is reserved for Directory Assistance applications."
It's kind of a weird spoof though; it's funny, but not really funny enough that I'd expect someone to make it as a comedy video.
Ha! I've done some video editing, and I've made this same careless mistake myself. Without that 555 number at the end, I would have thought this was real.
It's not gut-busting hilarious, but anyone in video production will get a good laugh out of it. I did.
Looking a the "New Roof" phone number followed by the "visit us at our mall location" and the last part about "www.ourbusiness.com" it's clear these are sample tag lines they can use in videos they produce. Sadly this is no spoof... They have a website and are responsible for some of those late night 'el cheapo car lot ads. I love the sales rep's video!
Uh, the '555-NEW-ROOF' isn't their phone number. It's a number they are using as an example in their slides for a customer's business. Similairly, they show a weblink "www.ourbusiness.com". I'm pretty sure it's a 'placeholder' phone number.
