  "Deja Vu" movie gimmick too much!
  
  People had been spamming some internet forums.
  Claiming to be a guy with strange encounter with deja vu, writing letter to this lady and stuff. The this other 'smart' guy steps in with strange 'words of wisdom' It ended up being a trick, a promo for the movie.
  
  The guy claims he sees something, sends letter to lady and hell lots of drama. This had gone too far. I believe no promo or distribution agency will do such a thing.
  
  All this is a gimmick for "deja vu" the movie.

  Freak, wtf too much! Seriously if this is a legal offence, the distributor or promotion agency is going to be in big trouble.

  From what I know, an advert must say 'advertisement' somewhere if it is in the guise of something else. The distributor is Buena Vista I'ntl. I believe it's the promo agency.
