Riot Over Promos

With the increasing popularity of video upload sites it is no wonder that they begin to start competing with each other. CashTomato.com staged a publicity stunt in Union Square in NYC on February 29th. At 2:29, they were supposed to give out envelopes with $29 to random people in the crowd. Poor planning and an even worse execution lead to a small riot.

I think in this situation promotional tomato stress balls would have been a lot safer, and probably more effective. A promotional product lasts much longer than $29 dollars could, especially in New York City.
