A WTF Scene in a High School Classroom
Posted on May 13, 2009 by Steven Lin | Filed under: OMFG, Viral Video Ads
This is absolutely today’s hottest video on the Chinese Internet.
In the video, we see a chubby high school girl engaged in online audio chat on her laptop, with a erect textbook as her cover. Presumably all this is being shot by a classmate with a phone camera. After she sneaks out of the classroom, her classmate unplugs her headphones and the following words from a boy are heard through the speakers:
We both agreed we’d be together for a while longer, right?
You’re silent. You told me frankly, are you seeing him?
I just don’t understand, is he any better than me?
Do you know how depressed I am these days?
I can’t do anything, you know?
Hey! Hey! Say something! Are you there?
Can’t you talk to me about anything? Don’t be so cold-blooded, ok?
Hey! Hey! Say something!
I can’t live if you keep being this way. You know that?
Then when the girl comes back, the teacher says to her:
The issue seems very serious. You’d better call him back.
Crazy, huh? People who’ve commented on the video are all severely critical of the girl who made VoIP calls in class.
BUT… did you notice something a little weird? Hey, come on, could there possibly be a WiFi signal in a high school in China? That wouldn’t even be likely in the US, right? Or is it possible at all that the girl’s parent had bought her a 3G netbook? What’s more… The high school girl used Microsoft Live Messenger and not QQ, and nobody laughed or even got excited when such a hilarious event happened during class! That hardly seems likely.
So we double-checked the information of this video, then found a “G3″ tag on the video page and “G3 speed” in the page’s title. G3 is China Mobile’s brand for its new TD-SCDMA 3G mobile service in mainland market. So it’s pretty obvious that, this is a viral video produced for China Mobile.
And on the video owner’s profile page, we found two other viral videos for China Mobile - a Taobao vendor showing underwear on a bus, and a college boy doing video chat in a changing room, both of which are just too risque to spread online.
After raising this question on Twitter, I got the answer that these viral videos were made by Hylink Advertising to promote China Mobile’s series G3 netbooks. What a brilliant local viral campaign!

[...] 视频中， 一位胖胖的女孩用书遮住笔记本，戴着耳机与人语音聊天。很快她中途离开教室，后面的同学故意拔掉耳机接口。于是所有学生，包括老师，都听到了一段热情而焦 急的对话，不久后学生返回教室，老师面无表情(可能有点无可奈何)的对她说“看来问题非常严重，你还是给他回个电话吧”。 [...]

I think this is very illustrative of the Generation-Z (MP3, 3G cell-phone and high connectivity) behavior. They (and their parents) should be made more aware of the coming Generation-E (Environment, Energy, Equity, Enterprise and E-commerce) as a possible counter-measure.
There are more relevant details on the Generation-E (and how it could be a possible solution to educational issues) at http:// sohominium.blogspot.com
