Yourotheryou.com

I have uncovered a truly amazing bit of advertising genius put out by Toyota (specifically their 2008 Matrix) that features a function to aid the process of prank calling your friends. Although I do not approve of crazy advertising schemes I did check this out and it seems to be pretty legit.
They ask you for your name and address ( so far no random junk email from Toyota YESS!!) and then to put in as much information about your friend as possible like: gender, email, address (not recommended by safety panel of myself) and their phone number (so they can prank call). There are about five character that then harass your friend and let you watch by logging into the site.
So far, my attempt at this has been lame because my boyfriend already knew about this website and so he was already clued into my mischief. Still looking for someone else to prank...(-;
I'm pretty sure that Toyota doesn't use your information, but what they do is subtly put in their car advertisements while you ask questions, the whole thing is meant to be "trendy" and apply to Millenials...specifically those who are in the age group that would by a gas-sipping little orange car. Overall I think it is a great idea, using a prankster widget to advertise for a car is pretty much brilliant.
