Perhaps you've seen these ads around town … on bus stops, on telephone booths, on billboards, on construction site walls marked "Post No Bills." Even on this website! What the hell is this desperate attempt to get you to pay attention all about?
As any tweenager could've guessed, it's a "guerilla" marketing campaign. The product being pushed? The movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which stars Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, and Mila Kunis and is about a guy who breaks up with his girlfriend, goes on a Hawaiian holiday to forget her, and winds up running into her and her new boyfriend. We've put the trailer after the jump so you can see whether you want to hit the theatre on April 18.
We also put it there so you know Jonah Hill has a role in it, so it can't be that terrible.
(And no, this post was not paid for by an advertiser.)

Or can it…?
THIS IS THE DUMBEST,SILLIEST, STUPIEST, ANNOYING COMMERCIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHY THE HELL DINT YALL JUST SAY THE MOVIE IS GREAT; CHECK IT OUT. WELL ONE THING THAT WORKED FOR SURE IS THE CURIOUSITY. I WAS SO CURIOUS THAT I HVAE SPENT A GOOD 3-7 MINUTES SEARCHING N READING ABOUT THIS DUMB. EVEN THOUGH I AM ANNOYED BY YOUR COMERCAIL, I MAY CONSIDER WATCHING THE MOVIE COZ OF THE VERONICAL MARS GIRL. I BELIEVE HER NAME IS KIRSTEN BELL OR KRISTEN BELL.
