Software incubator Cambrian House wanted to buy cheap publicity thank Google for changing the dot-com industry.

What better way than to bring a thousand pizzas to the Google campus, to feed Google employees who already get free food from a team of chefs? And how better to do that than to sneak on-campus unannounced?

There's so much to say about this nine-minute video, but it would distract from the pathetic purity and the narrator's painfully bouncy tone. Stick with it to the bitter end, when Cambrian House and their thousand pizzas get booted by security.
