Has the Godzilla viral marketing already begun?


Hello everybody this is Fernando for Godzilla Movie News.

I found this interesting link the other day and thought I would post it here for everyone to see.

It's obvious that the story's content is completely fake, as this website unanimously posts humorous/satiric articles centered on outlandish subjects, such as Wal-Mart employees utilizing a device to reduce their own "gasses" (i.e. farts).

His assessment was subsequently confirmed by Japanese governmental authorities.

”We believe this creature, who some call Godzilla, is random result of nature evolution. There is no evidence to connect the Godzilla lizard to any potential radioactive emissions purportedly leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi reactors into Pacific Ocean,” Mr. Katsumata said.

The creature, while large, has been determined by TEPCO scientists to ”pose no immediate danger to human health”...
