Under the guise of a funeral home, a North Carolina advertising agency launched an unconventional advertising campaign early this week, with a goal to persuade the vaccine-hesitant to take the coronavirus shot.
According to The Washington Post, digital billboards on the sides and back panels of a black truck that looped around Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte during Sunday’s Carolina Panthers game were emblazoned with the words “Don’t get vaccinated.”
In white lettering, under the words of warning, were the name and web address of a business appearing to be a funeral home, including a 10-digit phone number, according to various reports.
As it turns out, there is no “Wilmore Funeral Home” as is listed on the truck, and the web address takes visitors to a landing page with a brief message that simply says: “Get vaccinated now. If not, see you soon.” The message is linked to the vaccine registration site of a local healthcare provider, The Post explained.
It’s all the work of Charlotte ad agency, BooneOakley, who decided to use a different approach from typical ads promoting the vaccine, The Post reported.
While the identity of those behind the stunt remained a mystery for a day, BooneOakley revealed in a tweet on Tuesday morning that the sign was its idea, The Post said.
CNN cited agency director David Oakley who told them: “I just feel like conventional advertising is not working. Like, just regular messages that say ‘Get the Shot’ or ‘Go Get Vaccinated’ ... they just kind of blend in with everything else.” Oakley added, “We wanted to do something that saw it from a different perspective and kind of shocks people into thinking, ‘Holy moly, man.’”
Will the ad campaign be effective? The Post cited Stacy Wood, a professor at North Carolina State University who studies coronavirus vaccine promotion, who suggested the ad campaign was “probably too high-pressure” and risks reinforcing an unvaccinated person’s stance.
Wood said. “I can understand that the fake funeral truck stunt was embraced by the vaccinated as the relief of dark humor in a tense situation — it’s an effective joke, but not effective marketing.”
Fake news....fake advertising....fake businesses......WATCH and Confirm everything you see on line.
It’s not Vaccine
People who refused to be mRNA guinea pigs have been scared by death predictions and obscene descriptions/videos of being on a ventilator for almost two years. The totalitarian government officials can’t scare us anymore. They have encouraged vulnerable high anxiety people to get two/three experimental injections and still stay masked in their homes, constantly sanitizing the food delivered from the grocer and refusing to hug their loved ones.
And how's that working out with the very well informed, astute, very smart conservatives and non conservatives who very sensibly refuse to take this dangerous vaccine?
Let the Dementia Joe voters take it. We are healthier than they are.
Pennsyltucky isn’t falling for it.
It’s a garbage hoax pushed by an ad agency. Disgusting.
‘Don’t get vaccinated’: Fake funeral home is used to promote coronavirus shots

This virtue signaling crap will *not* work, but I don’t think the vaccine pushers care. They’re obsessed, or perhaps more correctly possessed, with pushing vaccines to the point where I don’t think they could tell you what their end goal is. 100% vaccinations? Should this include newborns? What about the fact Covid has escaped into the native deer population? Do you think can vaccinate all the deer?
Sick lies, I’m sure the media and the dems approve.
Fake advertisement for a fake vaccine.
I came of age during Watergate and the fall of Saigon.
My generation realized the government LIES and to trust very litte.
The youngsters need to learn!
It seems that this faux Funeral Home is trying to increase its business by convincing the Unvaccinated to get that killer shot.The shot that these Poor guinea pigs have been taking since this crap started.
The problem is that the ones who are dyeing the fastest are the vaccinated and every shot they get puts them closer in the Funeral Homes Prep room.
fake funeral home is encouraging people to get fake vaccines...
