Biting Elbows, an indie band from Russia, posted an insane "music video" earlier this month that has all the gore of a Tarantino movie, except it's shot entirely from one person's perspective. According to Creativity-Online , the video was shot with five stuntmen and some GoPro cameras. The music video is so bizarre that it has attracted nearly 10 million views on YouTube and even received a response from Samuel L. Jackson on Twitter: "This is some Buck Wild shit." But all the action almost obscures the fact that the video advertises a product: Neft Vodka. There's no call-to-action in the video, but early on, the main character picks up a canister of the Russian premium vodka and uses it to clean his wounds. The brand name also appears on the side of a plane towards the end of the video Read more »
