So this morning, I got the most entertaining death threat ever — delivered fresh to my email inbox — in the form of a surprisingly sophisticated little video clip. Thankfully, it wasn’t from a rabid David Caruso fan, furious with my recent blog post about his failure to score an Emmy nod, but rather, part of a nifty (albeit twisted) promotional campaign for the premiere of Dexter (overseas, I think).
My best guess is that Dexter is angry because I still haven’t watched the last six episodes of his first season on Showtime. But I’m planning to — before the summer is over. Now stop writing my name in blood on the wall, dude!
Anyway, I’m wondering what everyone else thinks about this campaign (click here to check it out for yourself): Would you send this to someone you love, or is it too disturbing to be taken lightly?

I’d only send it to someone who watches Dexter. But everyone SHOULD be watching this amazing show!!!
Wow that is disturbing. I’m not sure that’s something to be taken lightly.
But that’s my feeling overall about this show too. I LOVE IT, but I’m kind of creeped out that I do.
Slezak, I can’t believe you still haven’t seen those last 6 hours. You have no idea what you are missing.
Oh my, be careful there are a handful of real nutty Caruso fans out there who will come for you.
My personal feeling is that if Dexter is after you, you probably did something to deserve it.
Are you kidding?! I totally sent that to my husband! Of course, I wouldn’t send that to someone like my mom.
Wow what do you know I got on to for hating Caruso! Look at my post on link at the top of the page relating to Caruso
Slezak, forget the Caruso fans, I smell the work of Carrie Underwood lovers…
No, the real Caruso fans are the worst. They’ll report you to Home Security. If ever someone named Lacy posts on your blog – you better hide. She is the nuttiest of the bunch.
would it be bad if I sent this to my boss when I leave?
As far as I am concern, this is the best waste of company time ever! I have sent it to friends, foes and frienimes alike.
Oh, that is AMAZING. But I have a somewhat twisted idea of what is funny, so I probably wouldn’t forward it out of an abundance of caution. I wish someone had sent it to me, though..
Are you sure Matt Damon wasn’t behind this? Or that Ardvark?
I sent this to my mom while she was at work and her and a coworker watched it together. My mother laughed, her co-worker was horrified since she doesn’t watch Dexter
Well, if I hadn’t just been getting threats from someone who was also making harassing phone calls to me, I would probably have found this funny, since all of that scary stuff is new to me, but it frankly cuts a little too close to the bone. Certainly give them credit for originality, though.
Just sent one to my friend who I’m sure will be like, “Seriously?!!!”
I love marketing campaigns like this! I rememebr last summer when Samuel L. Jackson called me and told me to go see Snakes on a Plane! Of course I sent it to everyone I knew. And I still don’t know who sent Sam to me in the first place…
Sent it to my ma last week. She loved it.
I hope my sister doesn’t get too scared of it, because I just sent it to her!
Love the show, and you must watch the rest of the season – they do a great job tying it all up. And how could the Emmys overlook Michael C. Hall? But I don’t think the ad campaign is ok – leave it to fiction and don’t take it to real life. There’s no way to protect against some sicko getting his kicks this way.
so maybe i’m weird and twisted but i loved this promo. it was so real and creeped me out but i liked it anyways. i sent it to a friend of mine that watches Dexter so hopefully he’ll appreciate it too!
I immediately sent it to a friend who’s a fan, and she was not amused at all. I honestly am shocked, since she’s the one who cut her eyeteeth on horror flicks and I’m the one who can’t stand them and shouldn’t like the show at all. But Dexter is great, I think the ad campaign is hilarious, Michael C. Hall is AWESOME, and the Emmys are dead to me.
