All around the Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco this morning were oranges with stickers on them pointing at a web site: Godfather321.com. This appears to be a marketing campaign for a new EA game based on the Godfather movie.
Clicking on the right-most orange on the main page of the Godfather321.com site reveals movie clips of the oranges in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco. (You might need to reduce your window size for that to play smoothly, and it seems a little distorted in Google’s player, but you get the idea.)
Oh, thank you thank you!!! Finally an explanation for the wonderful, colorful delight that was scattered across the area at the end of Market Street and in the BART station on Tuesday morning. It was a most beautiful, perhaps result of an art project like Christof. All seemed to have disappeared by 8:00 a.m.
