Bear on the Loose

22 Oct 2010 - Some news is too good to be true. Singapore authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the Dutch electronics group Philips over their most recent marketing campaign in the city state. In the online video campaign a wild bear appears to be roaming in one of the cities residential areas. Some citizens realized it was a stunt, but the zoo sent some of their staff with a tranquilizer gun on a search for the animal. Philips has apologized for what was in fact a human being in a bear costume. A spokesperson said that the company did not want to cause harm Police said they were investigating Philips for causing a public nuisance under section 268 of the penal code. Unfortunately I did not see the video yet (but would love to), because I wonder what the bear was advertising for? The Philipshave perhaps?
