VOTW: Snoop Dogg Blows Up an Armored Truck

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Probably the best thing to come out of Mafia Wars, ever.

Mafia Wars is already insanely popular, as is FarmVille and any other title from publisher Zynga. Lately, the company really been throwing themselves into advertising and this live webcast of Snoop Dogg is just another example of that.

Zynga wanted to promote Mafia Wars Las Vegas, and figured the best way to do this would be to take Snoop Dogg out into the desert to blow up a 4-ton armored truck. The event was a celebration for Mafia Wars LV reaching 10 million visitors in two weeks.

Leaving aside the fact that FarmVille is the exact opposite of my cup of tea, this video has a lot of things going for it. It's got a big badaboom; the always entertaining Snoop Dogg sporting pigtails and the same hair ties I had when I was six-years-old; and exploding trucks. It also managed to break UStream records by pulling in more than 2 million live viewers to become the most viewed original event.

Yeah, I'll bet Snoop plays Mafia Wars all the time. Right after he's done rolling through the hood strapped with a gat and a fat sack of chronic, the first thing he wants to do when he gets home is pretend to roll through the hood strapped with a gat and a fat sack of chronic.

Lol, such a noob. I was expecting to use an RPG or the likes of that, not a stupid remote detonation!

Did they really need the fire department to race to put out a fire in the middle of a desert? What was going to catch fire, sand?

I wish I got payed for driving out to the desert for 20 minutes, blowing something up, and then driving back home in my limo.
