Richard Curtis and an explosion of publicity - Telegraph
Richard Curtis, the writer of Love Actually, pulled off a publicity coup for the climate change cause by making an internet film about blowing up children then withdrawing it almost immediately because it was too gruesome.
...
Withdrawing the film resulted in more internet coverage than the group could have wished for, harnessing the power of viral marketing and prompting curious viewers to head to the video-sharing website YouTube to see what the fuss was about. It led to suspicions that the entire set of events had been pre-planned, which the organisers denied.
