I Am Blind

posted by The Dark Prince

If you’ve been watching the ads on the site as of late, you’ve noticed that we get some really strange and cool ones from time to time. One ad I caught last week was white with a little haze of soft blue and the simple words, “I am blind.” That’s it. I had to click it, and when I did, I was directed to this site. It has a few videos, pictures and forums . . . of blind people.

It turns out, the site is a clever viral marketing campaign for the new movie Blindness, a sci-fi type of drama where the entire world’s population suddenly and mysteriously goes blind. The site let’s you join and interact with the blind population, post pictures of yourself in your “blind person glasses”, and watch videos of the last things people saw before they went blind. It’s all very cool, and the movie looks so incredibly intriguing, I can’t wait to see it. Check out the trailer:
