Tiger Woods walks on water, Jesus says "WTF"

We found this video on YouTube:

We then asked Tiger Woods to prove YouTube user Levinator25 wrong:

Art Director: Rob Kendall
Writer: Eric Samsel
CDs: Jed Alger, Aaron Allen
Account Service: Jordan Delapoer
Director: Mathew Cullen

Hey, Levinator25 is my brother, and from someone in advertising as well, I think you did a kick-ass job with this. (He does too!) Kudos.

Looks like EA doesn't want to share credit on this. Not cool.

Electronic Arts, one of the world's largest video game publishers, does its viral marketing in-house. "We've done a lot of viral videos," said EA Sports President Peter Moore. "We believe we're reaching a younger audience than with network television."

And because there's not much involved in viral campaigns — beyond getting the OK from Tiger and then shooting and uploading the video — companies can do it without hiring outside firms. Such campaigns aren't "something you can manufacture," Moore said. "You can't actually push it, because [savvy Web surfers] reject that."

Correction: The story originally stated that Electronic Arts does all of its viral marketing in-house. Wieden+Kennedy, the ad agency EA uses for its TV commercials, actually organized and shot the Tiger Woods video.
