Watch it until the end :)

Haha nice catch. I missed it originally thinking it would just be more marketing crap. So, they probably just moved it before detonating. Not sadistic bastards after all.

Watch 'The Prestige'.

I know... My original reply mentioned two scenarios with one having replacement fish. Then, I thought people would think I'm overly paranoid or negative. I just couldn't help wonder if they'd blow the fish for fun then avoid liability with similar looking ones. Then, I edited the comment for sake of presumption of innocence.

But, yeah, I hear you... Great movie as well. One of few that brings my favorite mad scientist into eye of mainstream audience as well. I doubt I must name him. :)

EDIT to add: I'm guessing you think the geeks were too sadistic to pass up the opportunity, eh?

No, it just seems weird, that's all. I don't see how either interpretation would benefit HP.

Oh OK. Makes sense.

I did, but unless the whole video was a fake it doesn't really matter does it? And if it is then that does not reflect well on HP either...

I didn't think about the image angle. Yeah, you'd think a marketing person would be like, "Wait, this could lead to a PETA lawsuit and lower sales. Not to mention our segment that likes fish."
