You’ve seen BBDO’s ads for the Midnight Spank block of programs on the G4 network, including the one with the rodent who eats the guy’s kidney. But the campaign also has a viral component. On a special Web site, you can enter a friend’s phone number, and G4 will prank call him or her at the stroke of midnight.
