The social media team for a Minnesota football team playing against San Francisco’s 49ers just incorporated “big tech” into its online trash talk, reports the San Francisco Chronicle’s SFGate site. They call the resulting video “incredibly weird.”
The video in question depicts a time-lapse of [San Francisco’s] Levi’s stadium with two cartoon characters in the foreground that are basically team helmets with arms and legs. The 49ers character says “Welcome… to Silicon Valley” and we’re then suddenly in the Matrix (?). The 49ers character pulls out a space gun that says “Big Tech” on it and starts shooting tech company logos at the Vikings character.
After slow-motion dodging Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Google Chrome, Instagram, What’s App, and Uber logos a la Neo, the Viking character jump kicks the 49ers character.
The whole thing is as odd as it sounds, and even users on Reddit struggled to understand it.
The Reddit post attracted over 2,100 upvotes and 253 comments (including “Unsportsmanlike conduct, kicking opponent in the head. 15 yards penalty.”)
The video has now been viewed 117,162 times over the last 18 hours — and attracted 27,827 likes.
